Goblins, Ghosts, Zombies and such

I am one of those people that will not watch anything that has horror in its description. Suspense does not bother me or supernatural. If horror is involved you can bet I will not be present. As a kid I remember my cousins watching Frankenstein, Dracula and the Wolf man on late night TV, I wanted no part of it and you could usually find me behind the couch. To this day I may be the only member of my age group that has never seen those movies in their entirety. No Halloween movies, Freddie movies or Nightmare on Elm street, no Chucky, chainsaw massacre or anything where zombies take over the world or some guy gets shot with a machine gun a million times and still cuts someones head off with a machete. Just ain't going to happen. It amazes me that Hollywood can make so much money making movies that are so unreal that millions of our youths and quite a few adults flock to the theaters to watch some thing that at one time may have been human kill so many stupid people. Lets face it if your home alone and hear a noise, who is going to go to the basement to check it out? If you on a lonely road and all at once your car stalls, are you going to get out and walk or use your cell phone to call for help? Besides if there was a serial killer chopping people up with a chain saw running loose in the area, would any parent allow their very attractive 16-17 year old daughter go out by themselves at night?
I am convinced that there are plenty of things that happen to each of us in our lives that if you think about them they will scare you to death, things like that nice walk in the woods where you stepped over the log and onto a nice long rattlesnake. Or the time you thought the electricity was off and you almost stuck your hand in the breaker box. Better yet the day you were texting on your drive to work and almost took out an 18 wheeler. Yes those type incidents would scare any person to absolute, skid making terror. I believe that everyday life is scary enough. Almost every member of our armed forces can describe fear. Police Officers, Fire Fighters and First Responders can give you first hand accounts. So to those of you that think Freddie Kruger is cool, go spend your money, after all makeup artists need to make money too. I'll be the old guy that watches the trailers on TV and shakes his head. To me the photo on the right is scary enough....
