That would have been the usual protocol in any 'home alone' opportunity- invite the mad gang over for drinks and eats, rave on till the wee hours of the morning.
But no. I decided I wanted a night-in, just me the telly and mountains of junk food. Since it hit the global markets we know how marvellous HD TVs are as a viewer you feel like you're in the scene/environment next the person(s). Its fab for nature programs and films. Yea films, horror films are magnified in clarity and hence making it far more scarier than when first viewed on grainy analogue sets.
I do not like being an in-patient at the best of times, but growing up hearing of haunting tales at hospitals and after watching this (when I was much younger) has instilled an eternal fear of dingy hospital corridors. I also have developed an irrational fear of the nurses being harmed by apparitions or poltergeists! Serves me right for being a reluctant fan of the horror genre.
How can I be a 'relunctant' fan? I'm one of those who likes a scary film but would only watch it with either a bunch of people or if alone (like in this occassion) peeping through an opening under my duvet!
So what do I do to pass yet another few hours, since I have already spooked myself stupid that I wont be sleeping a wink until daybreak, I proceeded to watch amityville horror! "Another bowl of popcorn, for the mad lady!"
