I dread movie trailers this time of year. It seems every October there is some new gorey horror flick out in movie theaters. I can’t stand them. Won’t watch them. Can’t think of anything worse. Give me suspense. Give me a thriller. Give me something that scares me. Just don’t give me blood, guts and gore just for the sake of shock value.
I’m no wuss when it comes to blood or mayhem, but movies where deranged psychopaths hack other humans to death or sharpen their chainsaw skills on them have no appeal whatsoever. Movie "classics" like the Freddy movies, the Halloween movies, the Friday the 13th movies? Never watched em. Wouldn’t if you paid me.
On Halloween, I’m quite content with cutesy ghosties and goblins, fairy princesses, little elves and fake draculas. What do you like about Halloween? Do you like gorey movies? Will you sit through a blood bath?
Like you, I cannot watch any of those movies, they are not something I want my kids watching either.
Tonight, while my hubby and kids are out collecting teeth-rot, I’ll be home answering the door and handing out the stuff. In between visits, I’ll be reading my book and hoping the evening ends soon!!

I can’t sit through all that blood and gore so the creepy movies are OUT! I do love the creative costumes and any holiday featuring candy is fine with me!

I love horror flicks and stay up all night watching them

Put me in the–can’t stand gorey movies column!
I really hate them. Remember Robocop? I wanted to see it but knew I was going to have to endure a lot of blood and guts.

I so agree! Action adventure, I love, but not gore for the sake of it, and sadism, for sure not!
