Scary Stuff

[Eve]

Does anyone else find themselves less wanting to watch/read less horror or scary stuff as they get older.

I was at the cinema the other week and a trailer came on for this creepy film and I was part not wanting to watch and part trying to tell myself not to be silly. Considering I used to read lots of Stephen King and James Herbert and watch scary stuff too when I was younger.

I was also being told how good a new drama called The Returned (I think) is but it sounds a bit freaky to me with disappeared/dead school children reappearing years later and such.

I know what you mean Eve, I've given up a couple of scary books lately as they make me twitch. I watched the first 2 episodes of The Returned today, it's not that scary (well not yet anyway) and the storyline is very good.

I hate scarey films or blood and gore and I absolutely hate being made to jump out of my skin. I do love a good Stephen King or the like though, I think it's because nothing jumps out at you in a book lol

I used to watch loads of horror films but since becoming a mother, my attitude to horror seems to have changed. I've gone right off them and sold most of the DVDs on ebay as I doubt I'll ever want to watch them again.

I have to cover my eyes when ever there is a torture scene on a historical drama like The Tudors these days, lol.
