I have a small confession to make. I don’t do well with scary or tense movies. The pounding music, the terrible stress of not knowing what’s going to happen next gets to me. I plug my ears, close my eyes, bend over and plant my face on my knees. Wayne nearly broke up with me after our first tragic movie together, The Sand Pebbles with Steve McQueen. My behavior mortified him. At the worst possible moment, I’d find a desperate need to rush to the restroom so I wouldn’t have to watch the scariest part of the movie. Fear grips me. I’m much too sensitive. These days Wayne gently pats my back and tells me when it’s safe to look again.

Bless you! We all have our fears that seem irrational to others! I have a huge fear of going to the dentist, and this is after undergoing a mastectomy for breast cancer, and four debridement surgeries and a colostomy after suffering a very bad colo-rectal bacterial infection! Go figure!!

That's why I only like to watch chick flicks or romantic movies, and the Hallmark channel. Fortunately my husband doesn't mind watching them with me.
My fear is heights I can't stand them. But for movies it is the horror movies where there is nothing but black and those crazy sounds. I remembering going to see Jaws and thought for weeks that a shark was under my bed. The other movie I remember was my 1st time being able to drive to the drive in movies and we saw Exorcist I hid my face in the pillow. I'm just glad it was big enough to cover my ears too.
