Since, Shocktober is almost here …

What? It is! Weren’t you just saying “I can’t believe it’s already September”. And it’s already September 8th!

But, I digress. On a whim (and against my better judgement) I picked up Fatal Frame II for Xbox. As if there aren’t already enough ways I find to terrify myself, there’s a video game that can do it for me. I tried it out last night thinking “Okay, probably creepy, but cool creepy.” Let me be the one to tell you, there’s nothing cool about it. In fact, the game is so dang frightening that I honestly don’t see myself playing it alone … at night … in the dark. I’ve always said that I could never be a horror movie because it would last about 15 minutes. I’m not curious about what’s in the basement, I don’t wonder what is making that squeaky, grinding noise in the attic (when I already checked earlier and there was nothing up there). Hell, I don’t even care to know what’s in the closet or under the bed!

For those of you who aren’t familiar, the game opens with your twin sister disappearing in to a long abandoned Japanese house. My first instinct (even though it’s a game) was to turn right around and try to leave. At this point in the game, I turned to Mark and said “You know I love you right? I have to tell you, if we’re ever in a horror-type situation and you disappear … I’m not going to be able to come looking for you.” His response “I see”. Needless to say, I highly recommend it.

On a completely different note, isn’t anyone willing to go see The Exorcism of Emily Rose with me? It seems everyone I’ve asked has declined with a polite, but unyielding ‘No thanks’.

Since the Halloween festivities have been cancelled, it seems as though the new plan may be to fly down to Orlando to hook up with our displaced friends and go to Halloween Horror Night. 13 different haunted houses! While I have never been a huge fan of Florida … this sounds like a whole lot of fun.
