HORROR MOVIES 101

Nightmares

Re: Nightmares

I have a couple of stories about this which I think you might find interesting... The first is really quite 'comicall' , and the second is quite HORRIFYING...

#1-  I was a HUGE fan of FREDDY KRUEGER ever since i saw the first release of    A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) - Spout ... I have (of course) seen every 'Freddy' movie since then, including Freddy Vs. Jason (2003) - Spout  , Which I LOVED... and which was directed by Ronnie Yu, by the way ASUKA...   One night, not too many years ago, I had a VERY vivid dream in which I was wandering through a vey old and abanded AMUSEMENT PARK all alone late at night... suddenly, I realized that 'Freddy' was stalking me!...

  Now, here is where it gets interesting...   at this point in my life I was quite used to having 'bad dreams' and I had learned to be able to tell when I was dreaming and be able to actually ACT to 'win the fight' or 'perservere' or whatever...  SO, at this point, with FREDDY actually popping up and attacking me (!) as I wandered through this abandoned amusement park, I looked around and said, "OK. Where is my fucking GUN"... suddenly, there it was, laying on the ground in front of me, the very same 9mm pistol that I actually owned at that time in real life!   So I picked up my gun and now FREDDY had a FIGHT on his hands... (hand? razors?)...  everytime he popped up in front of me, I started plugging him... in the face or in the chest... until he screamed and dissapeared!   Eventually I found my way to the entrance and I ran away as fast as I could.... and then, as I stopped to catch my breath, I heard FREDDY yelling after me... "GREG... STOP, COME BACK AND PLAY SOME MORE"... and then I woke up...

  The other MOST TERRIFYING NIGHTMARE I had was several years before that one but it was not brought on by any MOVIE... it was caused by an actuall GHOST... but that is another subject...

Re: Nightmares

Oh yes, I have to say that the beginning sequence in Ghost Ship was EXTREMELY original!!  I had never seen a death scene like that before.  It was very memorable. 

I have to say that I never really had any horrible nightmares about too many scary movies (anyway those that I remember anyway).  I did have this nightmare a few times throughout my life that I was singing in a nightclub or just singing in front of people and the audience either starts turning into werewolves or vampires and then I am being chased through parking garages and the woods and tunnels.   I am exhausted when I wake up.  lol.  So the nightmares I've had usually stem from a conglomeration of movies from my past. 

NOW the worst nightmares I EVER had - I used to live next door to these two red headed twins that were very, very religous.  They would be at the bus stop singing  duets of hymns together constantly, etc. etc.  Well, they convinced me to go to a church night with them for kids, there would be junk food, games and a great movie to watch.  So of course I thought it sounded like fun.   The "GREAT" movie was about the rapture in Revelations...it was geared towards kids.   It was about all these mean kids who torment these good kids - anyway of course the good little kids all get taken away to a fluffy beautiful place in heaven but all the "bad" kids are brutally tortured and mamed by the devil.  Oh my god, I had nightmares for months after that (mostly about those two red headed twins turning into the devil and trying to stomp on me).   hee hee. 

Re: Nightmares

I was four years old visiting my dad who had just moved to SC. He decided to rent the leprachaun fo a late night movie, and thats when it happened. He turned all the lights off so it was pinch black, got drunk and told me i couldnt turn them on and eventually fell alseep. I sat through the whole movie scared as hell, and watched the whole thing. After the incident i had a various nightmare every year for two straight years. Yes, every nightmare scared me through and through even when i got to the point that i could fight back since it is my head. Now, i watch the movie and laugh, but now every horror movie scares me completely (i love it though makes them fun), and i dont get nightmares anymore.

Woah!  That's sick and sadistic!  Movies can be a real device of torture.

I just remember getting nightmares from Benji the Hunted.  I have a real terror of wolves.  That howl the wolf made as he feel to his death from the cliff was what really did it for me.  Oh man I'm getting goosebumps just writing this.  Maybe I should rent it again!  He he.

Re: Nightmares

oh. i do not really remember nightmares but just movies that gives u the creepy feeling or just would never watch alone again especially in certain scene and definitely not watch alone late late at night.

I remember watching the Serpent and the Rainbow and the image of that man being buried alive ,coming out the earth again and all that spiritual voodoo stuff made me not want to watch that movie alone after midnight ever.I did recommend that to my friends as an all-time scary-spiritual movie i loved back then.Just u know, movies that gives u the creepy  scary feeling even though a looong time has passed since u saw the movie again.

Yes, Risselada, maybe you should conquer your fear and watch it again.  Then you can come out here to Seattle, they have a place called Wolf Park.  It is a haven for wolves (of course they are behind a very big fence) they have some nights called a HOWL-IN - you can go up there late at night and howl at the full moon and it starts all the wolves howling at the moon too.  It is VERY cool. 

Sometimes I think Scary movies for me are something that I can be brave about.  There are sometimes I am so scared about so many different things, I feel like I can conquer one of my fears by watching terrifying movies.  Hmmm, I will have to get out my old psyche books. lol.  I'm sure someone could do a whole thesis on me.  hee hee.
