I was supposed to go out to a friend's scary-movie-watching get-together last night ... but after reading this thread, I ended up get caught up in my lone, much more scary, scary movie watching.
I can't watch anything really scary at home alone. For instance, despite the hysterical battles with architecture and lesbianism, I can't watch The Haunting alone at home late at night.
Instead I watched Shadow of the Vampire and The Others. The latter is creepy, but not downright scary.
Um, except that I kept having this optical illusion happen during the film, which - considering the subject matter the movie foisted on my consciousness - I could only interpret as ghostly.
This white, shiny, sort of square FLASH happened in the small space of air between my head and my arm. Once, then twice. After the third time of this clearly visible silvery-white flash right next to my face, I had to turn the scary movie off.
Yikes.
I live right next to a cemetery. Ghosts don't usually hang out next to where their husks are buried ....
.... but some do.
