Is it weird that I never get scared...
Call me crazy, but I've seen all the essentials - Exorcist, Jaws, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, etc, etc.... and for some reason, no matter if I'm by myself, or in the theater, or with a friend, or with the lights off... I don't get scared. Is this weird?
Maybe it's a silly topic, but the thing that interests me the most is that horror is my favorite movie genre, yet it doesn't really affect me. So far, in my twenty years of life, the scariest movies I've honestly seen, that have gotten a smidgen of a reaction from me are:
1. The Hills Have Eyes (2006) - I wasn't scared, but mildly disturbed.
2. Halloween (2007) - A few jumps here and there, but nothing that lasted more than a second.
3. The Grudge - Once again, slightly disturbed.
And that's it. I've NEVER been genuinely scared by a movie before. I've seen a butt load of horror films, but I've never been REALLY scared. Nightmare on Elm Street doesn't scare me at all.... neither does Jaws... nor Exorcist... nothing. It's like I don't have that function in my brain.
So basically, I have two questions for everyone.
1. Is anyone else like this?
2. Are there any movies out there that are unquestionably scary, that would even scare the living crap out of someone like me?
I know it sounds odd, but I want to be scared... and it hasn't really happened. :(
Thanks a lot guys!
