See Saw

I freaking love Halloween. I’m a Halloween junky, which I find hilarious because I’m the biggest scaredy cat you will ever meet. My mom had to buy me a dream catcher because I used to have horrible nightmares and I would run into my parent’s room screaming. See? Scaredy cat. Horror movies are iffy. Some I can watch and be totally fine with and some I need to watch during the day followed by a Disney movie to ease the adrenaline. Like Quarantine for example. I saw that in the theatres opening day and that was a huge mistake. I was terrified for months. I’m still kind of terrified. But movies like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer are a breeze. Guys with hooks for hands and guys with masks, no big deal. Then, there are movie likes Saw. I can watch Saw, but I’m also scared of it. I can watch it because I don’t have a queasy stomach and the gore doesn’t bother me, but I’m scared to be in the dark because someone with a pig mask might jump out and get me and then I’ll wake up in a torture device I need to find my way out of. So, one part of me is scared because stuff like that could really happen, but I also think the movies are very well written and just kind of brilliant. Whoever came up with all the torture devices and the story behind the whole thing is kind of brilliant.

Saw, was just named the most successful horror movie of all time by the Guinness Book of World Records. When they say most successful, they’re talking about making the most money. So far, there have been 6 movies that have come out every Halloween since 2004 and number 7 will be the final movie and it will be released October 2010 in 3D. Count me out!!! Oh hell no. Can you imagine what my nightmares will be like then? Honestly, though a 3D horror movie is brilliant. That movie will bring in a lot of people. 3D is obviously popular and so are the Saw movies, so why not mash them together. Brilliant! If only I could come up with something like that. Did I mention it’s brilliant?

I’ve seen Saw 1-4 and I want to watch the rest just to see what happens so I will have to wait for the final movie to come out on DVD so I don’t have to watch it in 3D or in the theatres. For some reason horror movies are always scarier when watched in movie theatres. Luckily, I’ve only seen the Saw movies in the comfort of my home surrounded by pillows.
