Or they're just gross.
But horror stories? Well, those can be actually terrifying. Or maybe just chilling.
But they are so much better with the images, as everybody has his/her own imagination.
Mod
Plus, you can't get as freaked out by a horror BOOK than a horror movie.
I saw a horror movie on halloween- one month ago- and I'm still terrified out of my wits. And I can't go into the garage without someone coming with me.
Yeah, I sound like a baby.
Mod
wow but this topic is super old. haha
Mod
But stories... they have no limitation. They leave thought trains unfinished, but complete enough so that the reader fills in the rest of the thought correctly. They can be set anywhere, not just somewhere that can be made into something on a screen. You can know the characters thoughts, know exactly how scared they are. You can imagine everything as extensively as you want, or just focus on the characters emotions. Whichever one suits the characters better.
Plus, horror stories can be short, just a quick, five minute read. Those are often the scariest. They capture so much in just one moment of intensity... just one moment, and the impact of an entire book or movie is there.
Mod
what scares me about horror movies is more, like, the images. like, if someone's head gets ripped off or something, that will really freak me out. O.o but it's a different kind of "scary".
Mod
Mod
haha, usually I'm really daring, and I'll convince my friends to get a horror movie from blockbusters or the library (too freaked out to go to the theater where the sound is SO loud)... but then I freaked out of my mind when it's time to go to bed, and I always avoid bathrooms for like two weeks after watching a scary movies... a lot of bad things happen there. o.O
Mod
Oh, there was a couple in detroit... and they had killed their kids, and were keeping the body parts in the freezer. Then they were grilling sections of meat from the kid, and eating it!
*shudder* ugh, THAT was a nasty story.
Mod
i'm like brigid. i can't stand watching gore in movies...yet for some reason, i can read and write about all the gore in the world with no problem. lol :D
same with horror...i can read and write horror with only feeling slightly creeped out, but with movies i will seriously SPAZ.
Mod
lol. i know ... like i can write nasty stuff, just not SEE it. and even when i'm writing it, i'm like "ohhh ... this is really gross." lol O.o
Mod
Mod
Sella, you said something about hating gore movies, and I thought you meant Al Gore, so I was like "Al Gore is in movies?!" and then I realized you meant gore like bloods and guts. LOL
Mod
Mod

When I was (insert age)
I (insert rhyming action)
I climbed aboard the pirate ship
and the captain said to me,
We're goin' this way that way
front way back way
over the irish sea
A stick of gum
to warm my tum
and that's the life for me!
Isn't that a girl scout camp song, Roni?

Um...no....I was saying that the song 'a pirate's life for me' from peter pan was stuck in my head, except the word 'writer's' substituted the word 'pirates'. lol
Brigid, I loved girl scout camp!! :D
Mod
That tends to happen when you get a huge group of girls together. *sigh* Unfortunately.Unless they're all your friends. :) Then it's TONS of fun.
Mod
I'm not going this eyar though... because I'm going to Blue Lake instead. :D
Mod

exactly ... there always ends up being some kind of cat fight or something. lol
Camp is so much fun! :)) XD a catfight? ;] I think girls in general fight more often/hold grudges than guys...
Mod
In my opinion, immature boys get into fights because they think that it makes them seem manly, and immature girls are unforgiving and cruel to the people they hate.
These girls got mad at my friend's and I during seminar today. They left this lounge area, so we went in and sat down. They came back about a half hour later and got mad because we took the room AFTER they left. One of them cut out a picture of some cartoon character barfing on someone and stuck it on the window next to us. How mature, right?
Mod
oh yeah, that's so true. there's always a lot of drama with girls...*siigh* lol
@Kenzie; oh wow. That's kind of sad. But where would you find a picture of someone barfing anyways?? @Roni; that's a good point. Actually, now that I think about it, a lot of older guys get into fights too, because they want to seem tough.
I dunno, your guess is as good as mine. She just pulled it out of her pocket and put it up on the wall.
But soooo goood...
ppl read my horror story Cougar Claw ^-^
