Things that go bump in the night.

I love being scared.

I know, that sounds weird. Why would anyone want to be scared? Yet, I keep doing things, reading things, and watching things that I know are going to scare me. And here is the rest of it.


I read Stephen King. Started when I was a preteen. And had the nightmares to go with it. I still like having the closet door open to make sure the boogeyman isn’t in there (after reading The Boogeyman in Night Shift).

I read other suspense books that are horror in a whole other way. They scare me because of the very real threat that’s in them. Paranormal monsters are one thing. Human monsters are something entirely different. I still read paranormal, too, with supernatural beings lurking at every turn. The dark isn’t my friend. Because I’m always imagining what’s in there with me.

I watch scary movies. I’ll never forget watching Scream by myself downstairs one night. All of a sudden, there was a noise out on the back deck. What did I do? Ran upstairs and got in bed with the hubby.

The hubby has learned to watch my signs when we’re watching movies. When I tense up, start hiding my eyes or talking to the screen, he asks, “Are you going to have nightmares about this?”

I always say, “No.” LOL but I do.

Are there any other souls out there like me, who must like to be scared? Let’s hear a “Boo!” if there are.
