I think every Hyderabadi has one to say :D As mom said most the times it was Body Present Mind Absent :) I was either lost in the book I read or the meeting I attended or some memory of the past that I miss out to see things around me. The exhaust fan that makes sounds and rotates by itself or the nail scratching sound in the middle of the night. All such things that scared me were created by a pigeon and pet dog!!!Shadabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212355936710290036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-59564560692597002072022-04-20T03:01:41.437+05:302022-04-20T03:01:41.437+05:30Holy cats!

I don't mind reading suspense (though movies that try to be suspenseful tend to annoy me), but there has to be a follow-able plot, not just scenes written to scare. <br /><br />Tasha (commenter above) mentioned The Haunting of Hill House. Shirley Jackson was amazing. And, oddly enough, Agatha Christie wrote a few non-mystery suspense tales, the likes of which could easily have been turned into Hitchcock films.Mrs Feverhttps://mrsfever.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-17066147364428904602022-04-14T13:57:01.156+05:302022-04-14T13:57:01.156+05:30Scene 1 and 2 really scared me!

I am still curious as to what it could be. I share your love for horror movies complete with the pillow / punch or later point in time fear! And yes, share your same stubbornness about still going ahead and watching them anyway! :) I have realized though that I get a little more jumpy with the sudden jump-at-you scenes and sudden sound effects lately too! Maybe getting too old for them :D <br /><br /><a href="https://fictionpies.com/2022/04/g-growing-up-bin-laden-2022-a-z.html" rel="nofollow">Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban</a><a href="https://fictionpies.com">Deepa from FictionPies</a>https://www.blogger.com/profile/08190726711949079567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-77038157952711425432022-04-10T22:35:42.858+05:302022-04-10T22:35:42.858+05:30Horror is the only film genre I cannot watch :(Horror is the only film genre I cannot watch :(Dinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07769681950535697498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-22242308955132080202022-04-10T19:54:06.966+05:302022-04-10T19:54:06.966+05:30Gahhhh!!!

I'm sure there was an explanation for it :) I almost wrote for the challenge this year for H - Haunted House because I grew up in one until I was 7 years old (strange occurrences happened there. Won't say what because I'm still needing a few more letter ideas for the challenge and might be able to incorporate that story into one of them, lol) but definitely a weird place to live! <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-12843609602458026282022-04-09T23:43:15.062+05:302022-04-09T23:43:15.062+05:30I can only watch horror movies that are too unreal...I can only watch horror movies that are too unrealistic to be feasible.
