My one buddy, who will remain nameless, won't go into any water where he can't see the bottom. So night swimming for him is out.<br /><br />I do remember Jane Badler chowing on the rodent in the old V show and that was creepy. That reference brought on some nostalgia, thank you. And, like you, my mother was viciously against my young eyes visualizing anything non-wholesome at a young age and I had to sneak episodes of V back in the early 80s. <br /><br />Jaws, for me, is an incredible movie but I'm a born again fish. I've loved the water ever since I was a toddler and have never feared it or anything in it. I have been in the ocean several times...loved every minute of it. We're surrounded by the Great Lakes up here but nothing compares to being thrown around by an angry Atlantic tide. If anything gives me trepidation about swimming in open water, it would be the off chance of swimming into a mass of poisonous jellyfish. This would suck, large. Fortunately sharks don't find humans tasty (even though they'll eat anything) and if they're encountered your best course of action is to remain still. Flailing limbs look too much like meal time to the great white so when you catch that big ass fin out of the corner of your eye, tuck yer shit in and float....and pray.<br /><br />I'm with you 100% about Blair Witch. I remember watching that during its hype and the conclusion of it gave me such a start, I was shaking all the way home. I remember driving buddy home and watching him walk into his house thinking, "Christ Jesus, I still need company!! Now I have to go home....alone....in the dark." The rest of the night I had such huge jitters. It was excellent. THATS what a good horror is supposed to do to you. My let down was trying to see it a second time. There's no repeatability factor to Blair Witch, unlike any other great movie thats freaked you out. You get one scare and then its over. Any horrific sensation is gone. This is the same reason I've never tried cocaine. I've heard way too many stories from users who have all said the same thing....you try it once and its euphoric and then you're doomed to chase the dragon. Meaning no matter HOW much you take or how often, the second time, the 50th time, the 1000th time is NEVER like your first cocaine high...it cannot be achieved. But by God!! You'll continue to try...hence the addiction. My opinion is; if I never have that first high, I'll never know what I'm missing. But by all means, pass the joint. But I digress....<br /><br />Scariest character for me, when I was a kid was Fred Kruger. That whole segment with him in the alley completely fucked me up. The long, nightmarish arms, the scraping knives and teleporting, especially from behind the tree. The first time I watched Nightmare it was on some 5th generation VHS that I found so when he popped out from behind the tree, got Tina's attention and proceeded to cut two of his own fingers off just to get her reaction, because the picture was so gritty all I could see was a black face with two eyes darting back and forth between his own mangled hand and his prey. I was traumatized, to say the least. That whole segment from her waking up, not being able to wake Rod to Nancy and Glen breaking into the bedroom to find the mess should be inducted into some sort of Horror hall of fame. Such great horror!!! <br /><br />Original Fred Kruger, before the one liners, back when he meant business and executed his kills with menace and torment. Decisive evil. Best horror character ever.Cash Wampumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10253736402482031427noreply@blogger.com
