What scares you?

I posted a list of my top ten scary movies at film geeks, and when I review the movies, it’s obvious that I’m afraid of demons, ghosts, and people. Vampires and werewolves and zombies don’t really scare me, and movies that center around them are sometimes entertaining, but usually just silly.

Demons, ghosts, and people, on the other hand, scare the pants off of me. I suppose that’s because I believe in all of them. If you don’t believe in demons and ghosts, that’s fine. That’s your prerogative. I do, though, and I think they’re scary. People, of course, can be the scariest thing of all… and if you don’t believe that, just watch the news this evening.

The one movie on my list that doesn’t arguably fall into those three categories is Alien, but I believe that, at heart, Alien is a movie about a demon encountered in space. I guess that’s a subjective interpretation, but that’s really what I get out of it.

Anyway, if you’re interested, you can read the list of my top ten scary movies of all time at film geeks.
