The season premiere of Supernatural left me depressed, and a little worried about the future of the show. Not because I am disappointed with the way it ended, because I’m sure everyone and their dog saw that conclusion, but I’m concerned about the level of writing and the subtle differences in the production as well as the characters.
Anyway, my niece and I came home from watching the show at Admiral Fubar’s dorm and both of us were somber.
As I we talked to D about scary movies and the show she asked me “What’s the name of that movie with the werewolves and Corey Feldman? I think I should show the girls that movie so they can see what used to scare me when I was little.”
“Yeah,” I replied. “But watching it now after 15 years – it’s not so scary.”
“I know, I used to tell them ‘this is the movie that scared me so bad I slept with my gun’, then they’ll watch it and ask ‘Mom? When’s it supposed to get scary?”
We laughed and then she asked, “What movie scared you to death?”
Perhaps it was because I was down about the show, but I was feeling particularly truthsome and admitted, “Dark Crystal scared me so bad I peed myself on the steps of the basement because I was too scared to go to the bathroom by myself.”
Utter silence.
Then, “Isn’t that the one…”
“Yes.” I added. “It’s the movie made with puppets. The puppet movie scared the piss out of me.”
Tia-Bobia and D started laughing so hard neither of them could speak for an uncomfortably long time. Finally, D added between gasps, “I wouldn’t ever admit that if I were you…”
Yet here I am. God Bless the internet.
What movie, story, or show scared you the most?
