Sort of like I regretted reading Ann Rule's book on Ted Bundy at night.

Wait.... I think somebody is outside. :)

2. I've seen it so many times
that it isn't so bad, but still it's pretty creepy.

3. I stopped watching it.
The first time Anthony Hopkins hissed at Jodie Foster.

I knew it was gonna get worse and I don't wanna know.....

7. the first time I watched it
I was 16, it creeped me out. But it is surprisingly psychological, not overtly violent. It has a little violence, but it's mostly a mindfucker of a film. Extremely well done. Hopkins was born to play the role.

4. Night time is really the best time to watch a horror movie.
They are just too unbelievable and boring in the daytime. They are to me, anyhow. :shrug:

5. I like scaring myself
I've just been jumpy lately, after reading the Ann Rule book, somethings in that just messed with my mind. Plus I had a weird guy knock on my door a few weeks ago and he acted like he wanted to do some harm to me. Then he knocked on my neighbor's several nights later and scared the hell out of her.

6. My dear Wetzelbill!
You might...

But you're a brave, sturdy guy...

I think you'll be OK!

8. yeah it isn't too bad
I am more brave when it comes to real life stuff as opposed to watching a film or reading a book, lol. I get more freaked out watching a film than I would say walking down a dark alley myself.
