My spouse wouldn’t let any one into the bathroom while she was showering for the first six years of your marriage. Psycho had her totally freaked out.

That is one freaky movie!! I remember reading the book ‘The Shining’ while hubby was on 3rd shift one time; last time I did THAT!

Janet Leigh refused to ever take a shower again after filming that. Says a lot, doesn’t it? I’ve never seen either it or “The Exorcist”.

Red and I had that kind of reaction to “The Ring”. After watching it, we had to watch “Super Troopers” as a palate cleanser, with the lights on.

I am so immune to horror and suspense, it’s ridiculous. I ate rare steak while watching Hostel 3 and didn’t flinch. I’ve seen The Ring about 25 times. The last time I was asked to bring a chick flick, the girls got pissed at me (it was “Alexandra’s Project” – which is actually the ultimate chick flick and I bet you, Kate, would appreciate it) and forced me to watch the remake of Bewitched as punishment.

I once read a Dennis Lehane book when my husband was out of town and I slept with a knife under my pillow for DAYS until he got back. Big, bad mistake.

My now ex- and I had just finished watching “The Ring”. There’s a scene in the movie where the heroine is outside at night and looks up at a farmhouse, and there’s an old man watching her from a window. After the movie finished, my ex went to close the blinds, and the old man from next door was doing the same…and looking out the window at the moment she was…freaked her right out

As for eating while watching a gory flick, I was doing that while watching Slither! (Great movie—the one with Nathan Philion). My son had to leave the room

I also disregard my common sense and watch scary movies when I’m home alone. I grew up on horror movies, but they’re a whole lot scarier when the spouse is away. My dogs barking for no apparent reason while I’m watching said scary movies does nothing to help my nerves, either.

Have you considered a lock on the bathroom door?

Long before I saw “Psycho” I watched “The Ten Commandments.” The Angel of Death was depicted as this green fog that passed through Egypt. For years after that I was terrified of the steam in the shower, even though it wasn’t green. I mean, it could have suddenly turned green, right? Even though I’m not a first born anything and certainly not a son.

Well if you are concerned about someone sneaking up on you in the shower, the logical thing would be to install a shower cam so your devoted followers could watch out for you….

OK, I am sure you won’t fall for that but I had to try
