The pure horror films, like Halloween and Scream, really are more than I can handle. You must be one tough cookie. I don't like slashers because I hate being startled. But some horror movies I've just bit the bullet and watched because the movie was good in other ways. In The Sixth Sense, the scene where the kid's in the bathroom and the woman passes through the hall always makes me jump. And the girl in the tent scares me too. Yeah, lots of scary moments in that one. And a real tender story at the same time. That was sooo good!
