why I don't watch scary movies...
I am not.
Don't get me wrong there are some frightening movies I will watch. But not horror flicks. Not movies for the sake of scary. I'll watch something with a terror undertone as long as I am not staring at gore the whole time...
I make exceptions for things starring Bruce Campbell or anything that may be funny...
I am a big fan of Evil Dead don't you know.
So When we noticed that TiVo (that cheeky little monkey) recorded Shaun of the Dead. I had to pause a moment to consider what I wanted to do. I had heard it was quite funny after all... but it was 10:30 at night at my dreams are so susceptible to tampering...
(that should read: I am a GIANT SISSY)
But there we were curled up in bed wanting to watch a show so I turned it on to see if it would be worth saving to watch later. And the first 10 minutes I thought were very good. And the next, and so on until Mr. Kaos said "You're going to watch a zombie movie before you go to sleep?" I smiled knowing I was silly and said yes I was going to risk it and I did. And we watched it together. Sadly it was the edited for TV version so all the good swearing was muted out but what was I to expect?
We really liked it, there was a great deal of liking, really. Then at the end there was the happily ever after and while I waited all along for the punchline my darling Mr. Kaos didn't see it coming... and as he held me safe in his arms he literally jolted. jumped. started...
And so instead of drifting off with terrified thoughts of flesh eating drones in mind I thought of how sweet life can be and how much I can sometimes enjoy the unexpected.
Like when my big strong man is the one surprised by the flesh eating zombie ending instead of frightful little me.
