A Warped Witch I Be

In response to "Horror Movies"

I loved Vincent Price, just rented the Pit and the Pendulum to watch again. I heard it read at a Poe event, I came home and read it again myself then watched. It brought back some cool memories of watching Vincent Price with my friends.

I remember The Birds so well, which is a miracle, considering my memory of late. But that movie didn't scare me. Maybe. Vincent Price did more. It might have been the tone of his voice and his special kind of articulation.

Nope, don't think I would do that. I have been to Niagara Falls and that water is so bloody strong and the drop!! No thank you!!! Beautiful to look at though.

In response to "Horror Movies"

I am a bit the same. Those movies you mentioned such as Saw and Chainsaw Massacre I couldn't watch those. However I love things like Monster series on Netflix and just watched The Ed Gein Story and loved it. Which is strange to say but I think for me the real life horror is more psychology type thing. Why are these people the way they are?

I flip flop back between do I believe people are born evil or is it their environment etc.

In Ed's case I think that his mother and father had mental issues which can be hereditary, so most likely he had mental issues when he was born and then his upbringing with parents, especially his mother manifested those mental issues. It maybe could have been different had his issues been picked up when he was younger and helped. He eventually was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Anyway, probably didn't want to read all that ha ha ha.

I can't imagine why anyone would do that. I've never understood the point of daredevil stuff. Thanks for sharing!

In response to "Chaos "

Our world is so dependent on the internet and electricity, it would be utter chaos and dangerous. I can't imagine hos much crime would take place in a world like that.

Some scenario's make it seem impossible to live. Everyone would learn to deal as they found abilities to cope.

History

PROMPT July 8th

What historical events, besides your own birth, occurred on your birthday in the year you were born?

This was the first time I ever googled my own birthdate and July 19 th is quite disappointing really. July 19th 1944 was a pretty boring day news wise, but In 1969 Apollo 11 went into orbit around the moon. That’s significant but not as great as the day man first landed on the moon. I remember it so well. I still have a copy of the Daily Mirror with the headline screaming out MAN LANDS ON THE MOON!
The only other item of news I found interesting on July 19th was Adolf Hitler ordered Britain to surrender in 1940.
Thank goodness Winston Churchill didn’t cave in to him. I don’t think I would be here writing this blog.
The course of history would have changed forever. My father was fighting in the war in 1940, what would have happened to him if Hitler had successfully managed to defeat England? I don’t think I would even have been born.
