The Exorcist.

I watched it last night.... and had nightmares. Again.

They don't make films like that anymore... and that haunting soundtrack!

Now they're all car chases, beat em ups - shoot em ups with guns with a million rounds of ammunition.

Don't Look Now, have you seen that Frank?

The Exorcist was out when I first started seeing Tim. His brother and his girlfriend were going to see it and I nagged and nagged that I wanted to go, despite Tim telling me you wont like it.

I last about 15 mins, then buried my head in his neck and just said repeatedly 'take me home'. No we've paid, we're staying. What was worse it was the Exorcist 1 and 2, double bill :lol:

Ooh but when she comes down the stairs in the crab position 'shudder'

"Don't look now".... another spooky one to make one think.

I read the book when I was about 14, borrowed from a schoolfriend, and that was quite enough for me! No way could I watch the film :? The book that really scared me though, and gave me awful nightmares and anxiety, was The Amityville Horror supposedly based on a true story.

I honestly couldn't watch The Exorcist if I was offered a million euros. :lol:

It's a standing joke in this house how much I hate scary films. :lol:

I've been known to hide behind a cushion during an episode of Midsomer Murders. :lol: :lol:

Dont Look Now gave me an aversion to small people in red coats. When Luke was little I refused to let him have a red coat.

I think books are always worse than films Kaz. I read The Amityville Horror too, terrified me
