Express Yourself: Scary Movies


 

Welcome back to Express Yourself! This weekly meme is brought to us by Dani @ Entertaining Interests and Jackie @ Bouquet of Books, fun questions to answer weekly. This week they ask us what was the scariest movie we've seen or book we've read that made us unable to sleep.

Hands down, only one movie has terrified me into insomnia (and all the scary movies I've seen, that's saying a lot), and it was Orphan. For most of the movie, you KNOW something is wrong with this little girl, and when it's finally revealed...It messed me up. lol I was praying for most of the night to have good dreams.

If you haven't seen it and want to, I recommend it. It's an awesome movie.

Stop by the ladies' sites to find the list of other participants, and visit them throughout the week to see what they have to say.

Unfortunately I've already been spoiled on the ending for that one, so I'm not sure if I'll ever watch it. Then again, I knew the ending to The Sixth Sense going in, too, and still enjoyed it. I really like scary movies, but can't stand gory ones!

Haven't seen that one yet. The Ring was one of the creepier films I've seen in recent years.

I haven't seen Orphan, but it sounds terrifying!

Yeah, I hate gory movies. Someone hinted that she wasn't what she seemed, but I thought something else. lol

I've seen it. I thought it was pretty good. I liked "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" (2010) more, which is similar in some aspects. "The Good Son" is the movie that most freaked out my mom. The only movie, in fact the only object, that she actually locked up in the house.
