The Exorcist..Scary or NOT?

Once again, we are watching movies in an English 4 class and I love it. haha. But this time, we're watching the old classic the Exorcist. The weird thing is, throughout the whole movie, the class was laughing during the scary parts when the girl was being possessed.

What is known to be scary back in the 20th century, isn't scaryo to kids nowadays. I think so because kids are raised with more technology than ever. We have games such as Grand Theft Auto and other games that introduces us to more of a gory world. I was talking to my Foods teacher about this, and she said she was terrified when the Exorcist first came out. She said she was around a sophomore in high-school when she first seen the movie. This had me thinking throughout the whole day. Why wasn't I scared? Because I have seen scarier.  Movies such as Paranormal Activity when it shows live footages of real paranormal activity happening to real people. I also play alot of Modern Warfare which might have helped out alittle bit. I'm basically used to seeing dead people because of this game. In my opinion, I think that kids in the next century are going to be completly okay watching scary movies at a young age. I think this is why the Exorcist really wasn't scary to me and many other teenagers that have watched it recently.

the supernatural..real or fake?

In English class, we're watching The Exorcist, a very well known and rather popular film. My teacher, Mr. Hessert, asked us if we thought the supernatural is real. If in another world or being, the supernatural actually exists. Personally, I’ve always believed in the supernatural. I mean, you see all these movies about people recording their experiences and their houses being haunted; you can't help but not be a skeptic to the phenomenon. Because I lost close relatives, I am a believer. I believe that in times of trouble or helplessness my guardian angels will be there to help me or guide me. Like anything in life, you have your good and your bad. These types of guardian angels are your good. And than you have your bad supernatural. From the paranormal shows that I’ve watched, these spirits stay around to haunt people because they died a bad death or they want revenge on people. This is the type of spirit that possessed the little girl in The Exorcist. Religious folks believe this is the devil trying to get in contact with the human world. I haven’t had any paranormal experiences, but I have had some times when I felt that I was in presence of another being. It’s a hard feeling to explain but you feel as if someone is next to you. It’s not alarming or awkward, you just feel happy and content. And I’ve also had experiences when I felt that a guardian angel was there watching over me. I want to believe that when I die, I can still be around spiritually to see my family and give them a peaceful presence. When I think of the supernatural, I think peaceful and non-violent. Exactly like the way I hope going onto another side should be. Your death is a memoriam of who you are and how happy you made the people you left. So to answer the question whether or not the supernatural is real; I personally say it is. Enjoy a word from our sponsor..

The first horror film I fell in love with..

Twas the night before Christmas..haha just kidding. But seriously, have you ever had a scary movie that you watched as a young one and had horrific dreams and flashbacks about it since? For me, that movie is The Night Before Christmas. I remember watching that movie and being TERRIFIED about it. I woke up in the middle of the night staring face to face with this guy..

 Yeah, it's some intense stuff to see as a kid. The whole theme of not having Christmas and "Santie Clause" being captured by the Boogie Monster wasn't exactly my cup of tea. This scarred me as a child. When I first started talking,  I first saw this movie because my older cousins were watching it. And because nobody is cooler than your older cousins at that age, I decided to watch it. It was an action I honestly regret doing as a child. I personally think that if i haven't had watched this movie, maybe my artistic senses wouldn't have kicked in. Just because the movie is so...artistic. The weird thing about this movie is that I would never stop watching it. It was one of those feelings when you know it was wrong, but you couldn't help but watch it. Like you know you shouldn't eat a cookie from the cookie jar if mommy says no, but you just can't help but do it! I fell in love with the characters and the music they sang along to while making presents. As i'm older now; this has to be one of my favorite movies! I can sit home all day and watch it over and over again. I now appreciate a good movie that once terrified me as a kid. This isn't necessarily a horror film, but the way the Boogie Man looked at me when I woke up; I can't classify it in any other category.
