Okay, maybe not a clown. But the grudge will.

I was mucking about on my friend's ipod touch today and I clicked on this one called 'Haunted'. You saw this empty house, furniture moves a bit and then BANG, the grudge jumps out at you.

I screamed and flung it away (Okay, I threw it a few centimetres onto the sofa next to me, what whatever) and prompty burst into tears (I suck so bad). My friend immediately apolgised and explained that she had it on there to scare my other friend, but she hadn't mean't for me to see it (since she knew I'd be freaked out by it).

My other friend then watched it and screamed, dropped the ipod and fell off the sofa. Just wanted to let you know.


So anyway, yeah. Its nearly 2am, but I can't sleep because otherwise I will
A) See things in the dark
B) Have nightmares.

Oh well, at least its the holidays :D

EDIT: I can hear my brother snoring through the wall. I keep thinking that it is the grudge making noises. Damn it!

I'm sorry, but that is too funny. There is always something about people getting scared that is so funny

I have a similar problem sometimes. I was once home when someone tried to break into my apartment so now every little noise scares the begeebus out of me.

I find the best way to beat fear is with a cunning technique. Imagine the grudge appears in your room at night. What will you do?
I like to think of epic ways I can go out in a bang. Say for example, I might yell out candy and tackle her/him. Beats the old horror film cliche. How many people have been killed by a monster because they bear hugged it?

reminds me of something I'm planning on telling my daughter when she comes running late at night abut the monster under the bed:

"Mommy, Daddy! There's a monster under my bed!"

"Olivia, is it the purple one with the black spots or the orange one with the stripes?"

(whichever she chooses)

"oh, her...she doesn't have any teeth and we bought her to protect you. She only comes out at night and eats ants"

I prefer a more subtle frighteningness to cheap scares. Get inside the person's head, under their skin.

Makes me wonder what effects some of the shocker videos I have put on here could have done, as far as I know I just freaked out ImTheGuyThatDidThat, but I decided to do it to other people ever since my teacher did it to me. Though I realy cant stand a lot of horor things as I turn the volume don and kind of look away. I do know that I have gotten scared of certain things in the dark from being totaly alone, or reading scarey things, and I kind of got over it as I felt that in my room I was totaly safe. That remdinds me I have to get some charms and or seals to keep such evil things out of my room, I think that might make me feel safer.

I hate those kinds of videos. I've only seen a couple of them, but they still freak me out to an outlandish degree.

Which is why I have resolved never to get suckered into one again...

... of course, how I'll achieve that is still open to question :P

The only thing I hate about those things is when they are in a video and someone turns the volume down so much, you HAVE to turn it up to find it's not the imagery that scares me but the sound and how it will wake someone up ...

If anyone wants to experience a similar feeling, here's a good video. It startled me at least :shrug: .

*grins*
I was so upset after The Forgotten (which in hindsight isn't even all that scary...it's a psychological thriller), that I had nightmares for weeks! Everybody I loved kept on getting sucked up into the world of death like some of the characters did. I was around 12 or 13 then too :P
