What’s the scariest movie you’ve ever seen?
*******SPOILERS FOR THE RING*******
I’m trying to think up Halloween type questions I haven’t already answered in my Halloween Fun Time post hehe. While there was a question about scary movies, it didn’t get specific, and also while I did ask favorite Halloween/Halloween type movies, that doesn’t necessarily mean the scariest. The scariest movie I’ve ever seen, the movie that made me stop watching scary movies is The Ring.
Hell to the no
I saw this movie back in college with a bunch of friends. Our university had a theater that would show fairly recent films (which is how I first saw Titanic), and we figured why not. This lackadaisical decision would cost me. I hid against my one friend’s shoulder through the majority of the film.
The horror started when the one girl Katie was found dead in the closet with an absolutely horrified expression distorting her gruesome corpse. She looked as if she’d drowned and started to rot in water (…), but I said my “Nope,” at the part with the horses. When animals are that terrified of something, you know it’s bad.
This is a little questionnaire I borrowed (stole hehe) from my girl Cupcakes and Machetes. Tis the season right? I’ll copy her (again) and post the questions without answers for easier acquisition. Please feel free to borrow/steal this for your own enjoyment!
What scent sets the holiday mood?
Favorite Halloween Fun Size Candy Bar?
Favorite Halloween movie?
Favorite seasonal sweet?
What toppings are on the perfect candy apple?
What’s your favorite costume you ever wore on Halloween?
Most enjoyable fall tradition?
Pumpkin Patch Hayride or Haunted Hayride?
What song is a must for a Halloween Party Playlist?
Milky way. Mmmmm so good. I could eat like 50 of them, which utterly negates the fun size.
3. Favorite Halloween Movie?
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. That’s if we’re talking the type of movies you watch around Halloween time. If so, yes, this is my favorite horror musical.
4. Favorite seasonal sweet?
I think I covered this in my last Question of the Week! Mellowcreme pumpkins. Mmm I can hear my teeth screaming now.
5. What toppings are on the perfect candy apple?
I’m perfectly fine with just caramel. I can’t think of anything else I would need.
6. What’s your favorite Halloween costume?
I have to go with my staple of dark angel. It’s my fallback if I’m ever in a pinch, and I always have clothes for it available, because I’m a not-so-secret goth.
7. Most enjoyable fall tradition?
Planning and dressing up for Halloween. I love that it’s a holiday you can celebrate regardless of your religion or lack thereof (even though it is based around Samhain). You’re not obligated to deal with potentially bigoted relatives. You get to eat candy and drink with your friends all the while dressing up as whatever the hell you want. Like seriously, what is the downside and why isn’t this a month long event/celebration?
8. Pumpkin Patch Hayride or Haunted Hayride?
Pumpkin patch. I have no desire to have the stuffing scared out of me (wuss puss over here), and I love pumpkin picking.
9. What song is a must for a Halloween Party Playlist?
Thriller is a nonnegotiable.
10. Favorite Halloween Monster?
I’d probably have to go with Dracula for this one since vampires are pretty high on my list. Wasn’t I just talking about a hot vampire?
Cider all the way. Not that I don’t like cocoa, but apple spice was my first answer.
12. Scary movies or Scaredy cat?
Like I said, I’m a big old wuss puss, though of course I can’t make sense and am obsessed with all things Lovecraftian and eldritch.
13. Pumpkin spice: Yum or yuck?
Yum. I like apple spice better, but I don’t understand the hatred towards pumpkin spice. It’s a decent flavor and clearly keeps Starbucks in business.
14. Which is scariest: spiders, zombies, or clowns?
Well clowns seem to be competing for the scariest things out there. Like wtf is going on with that? But I’d have to say zombies because the shambling undead just rips through layers of horror all the way down to the uncanny valley. They can also make you one of them! Neither of the others one do that…unless it’s a radioactive spider and then you turn into Spider-Man. Omg…imagine a zombie clown that was bitten by a radioactive spider D:
15. Best find in your Trick or Treat Bag?
A whole Milky Way candy bar. None of this fun sized shit :p
16. Worst thing to get in your Trick or Treat Bag?
Dental floss or a pamphlet about how fat kids shouldn’t get candy. One, I can buy my own dental floss and two, wtf is wrong with you?

What’s your favorite movie genre?
This is a question I don’t really have an answer for since my favorite movies are across multiple genres. I love a good story, and good stories are not genre bound.
It would probably be easier to give some of my favorite movies and see what genres they encompass. For many years I considered Constantinemy favorite movie.
It’s still up there, but I have so many favorites that I can’t just considering one movie the One (…just realized this is hilarious because of Keanu Reeves). I of course love Advent Children as a side effect of loving/being obsessed with Final Fantasy VII,
and many other animated movies have my heart. Pixar’s RatatouilleI can claim as a favorite: my favorite Pixar movie,
and I’m a bit torn between which (just) Disney movie I love more: Frozenor Big Hero 6.
I still think I lean slightly towards Frozen because sisterly power and female representation, but they both made me cry.
Then there are the Marvel movies (which is also Disney let’s not forget lol). I love all of the Phase One films, though oddly Thoris probably my least favorite. It’s not a bad movie, but I prefer Thor: The Dark World, and of course I love Avengersfor various reasons.
Various reasons
Though, like Big Hero 6 and Frozen, I don’t know if I could decide between it and Guardians of the Galaxy.
Avengers has the indisputable Big Damn Hero’s, but Guardians (which I’ve reviewed) speaks to universal and ubiquitous pain no matter where you might be in the universe.
So looking at this list, I’d say I like dramas with sci-fi and/or fantasy elements.
What’s your favorite movie genre? Is it more of a mixed bag like mine or you can definite pinpoint one specifically?
