The Week's Question is:
Off the book topic - What is your favourite scary movie?
My Answer:
I don't like scary movies. I never have even though I've watched more than a fair few: It, Nightmare on Elm Street (1-3), Halloween, Friday 13th, Blair Witch, Scream, Saw, Pet Cemetery, Children of the Corn, The Exorcist, Child's Play... I just don't see the point in them.
I get no enjoyment whatsoever from being terrified out of my wits.
Maybe I just have an overactive imagination but I'm twitchy and disturbed for days after I watch something like that.
After I left my teens I decided I'd had enough and no matter what anyone said I wasn't watching them ever again.
Thankfully my other half has no time for them either so I never have to 'take one for the team' on that score.

The types of Halloween movies I like aren't horror scary, they're... Spooky. Atmospheric. Fun.
I LOVE Hocus Pocus at this time of year.
Beetlejuice.
Casper.
The Nightmare Before Christmas.
(Which is both a Halloween and a Christmas watch in this house.)
The Adams Family
Practical Magic
(Although I could watch this one all year round.)

What's your favourite Halloween movie?
Oooh! I love your list of non scary horror movies! I also loved watching Hocus Pocus, Casper and especially the Nightmare Before Christmas!

Thanks 😊
DeleteI love your fun picks! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you 😊
DeleteI'm with you - I do not enjoy being scared. I just don't find the fun in it. There have been a couple (namely The Ring) that creeped me out so much that they stuck with me. I'll stick with the lighter fare. Beetlejuice is always fun. But I think I'm the only person I know that hasn't seen Hocus Pocus!

Oh you must! It's got a little bit of everything! 🎃
DeleteI've seen a pretty good number of scary movies but somehow I've missed a lot of the fun ones like Hocus Pocus and Beetlejuice. I'm trying to fix that.
ReplyDeleteThey're awesome!
DeleteI feel the same way. I like the light and fun spooky ones rather than the hair-raisers.

DeleteI love scary movies any time of the year but really around Halloween. I hope you enjoy your non scary movies though. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, you too!
DeleteI'm watching The Nightmare Before Christmas as I'm commenting! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting!
DeleteSee, I don't like scary movies because I don't get scared lol (although I don't think I would enjoy being scared either)
ReplyDeleteI do love A Nightmare Before Christmas! I have Jack & Zero stuff all over my house :-)
For What It's Worth
I have a few Nightmare Before Christmas themed Christmas ornaments... They're amongst my favs.
DeleteI love horror movies. There are so many good ones.
ReplyDeleteGore doesn't bother me but I hate being scared...
DeleteYes to all your picks! Those are mine as well. I think the closest to scary I watch this time of the year is The Lost Boys. It's just fun.
ReplyDelete🙌
DeleteOhh great picks Nicola I don't get scared easily in horror films but when I do get real scared from a film that scares the heck outta me I tend not too re-watch those specific horror films again as well. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog hop from last week Nicola!
