Started to watch creepy, scary movies again for the last few days, some of them I watched years ago, and now I'm rewatching them, others I'm watching for the first time. I'm also watching scary videogame's again, which is nice. I haven't watched creepy, scary things in what feels like forever.
You see, I grew up watching scary, creepy movies with my mom growing up, so it feels nice to finally get back into watching them again. Some of the movies I'm rewatching I still like, and other's now that I'm older, I guess I outgrew them, because they don't seem so interesting to me anymore.
One of my favorite aspects of horror, or I guess, one of my favorite types of horror, is phycological horror, the type that gets into your head, and makes you think, not just pointless jump scares. I mean, I enjoy jump scares, because it's one of the points of scary movies, that make it fun to watch, but having jump scares, with no plot, or nothing that makes you think, that's when the movies begins to feel pointless to me.
I feel the same way with scary, horror videogames, I prefer one's that have a interesting plot, good character growth, or a phycological aspect to it, one's that make you think. Maybe it's just me, but that's how I am when it comes to horror genre's in general. I know that for some people, they just want to have a good jump scare, and scream, and basically not think, and if that's what works for them, then more power to them, but I guess that's not my cup of tea.
The only person I watched scary movies with was my mom, I never really watched scary, horror movies with any of the friends I had growing up, because most of the people I knew, weren't really into that sort of thing. So besides my mom, I just kinda kept it to myself.
Tho over the last few years, the last few movies I tried watching by myself in theaters, weren't that good, and some of the newer one's that came out at the time, like one called, Oculus, it came out in, 2013, in my opinion it wasn't really that good, maybe I'll like it, if I rewatch it now, but back when I first watched it, it wasn't something that I'd rewatch again. Now, the movie, Sinister, which came out in, 2012, was an excellent movie, I haven't seen it in years, but to this day, it's one of my favorite movies, it was one of the scariest movies I've seen, and the story plot was very interesting, and of course, it had phycological horror to it, so it kept you on your toes.
I don't, since I started watching horror movies and scary video gameplays again, I figured I'd write about my thoughts about them. 😊
