Scary Movies

 I have only seen about 6 scary movies in my life; Scream was my first one when I was 12, I Know What You Did Last Summer and The 6th Sense when I was 14, The Ring when I was 16 and now The Voices and The House of Wax at 36. I remember my best friend loved scary movies and she would see them all the time. But then weird things would happen to her a lot. She was "epileptic" but she would see demonic things every time she had a seizure. So that pretty much scared me away from watching scary movies. I told her a few times she really needed to stop watching them.  She finally listened to me. One time she had scratch marks on her chest from the night before and she didn't know how they got there. Creepy....

I have always felt scary movies can open a door to evil spirits. A lot of things can if you let them. Even church can, depending on what type of church you go to. 

I was thinking, regarding watching the movie last night, that if you watch too many movies like that it can start to mess with your head. My ex husband, who went crazy, was very into war movies. When I met him he had every single war movie that was ever made. One of them that I watched with him was incredibly gruesome. The problem with that was that I think he started to think he was IN a movie. That was why he thought cars were following him etc. It was like he thought he was in a gorilla warfare movie 24/7. I told him about 5 times, "Your life is NOT a movie." But that message never really sank in for him.

Enjoy yourself and watch movies, but don't watch so many movies that you forget your living in real life and that you are not in a movie. :) 

When I watched the movie The Voices a few weeks ago I think it messed with my head a little. I was thinking how that could have been me. I could have ended up that way if I had stay married to my ex husband. It was quite ironic that the main character kind of looked like my ex. 

The main phrase I thought of when my ex was going crazy was from the Dark Knight. The Joker says, "Insanity is like gravity. All it needs is a little push." 

Be careful of that push. Try your best to keep your mind sane. How do you do that? Live a normal life. Try to be normal. Expect that your life will be normal and then it will be. God bless. :)
