BlutAusNerd Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 That's why I dig the headphone jack in the Xbox One controller (PS4 too), I can watch whatever I want without bothering my sleeping fiancé.I wake up a lot earlier than my wife for work, so I never stay up later than her. She doesn't like horror movies, and I don't need my kids to get more nightmares than they already have, so I don't really get the opportunity to indulge in them anymore. Sometimes if I have nothing to do on a Saturday or Sunday and the mrs. wants to take a nap at the same time as the kids, I can sneak one in, but that's about the only time.Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even living together before kids, I could check out a few movies that she wouldn't like every week. Kids are the best that life can provide TBH, but you do get a lot less time to yourself. They're worth the sacrifice, it's just and adjustment.Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part is an easier adjustment than you would think because of the necessity of it, but it does wear on you after a while.Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The youngest turns two years old today, and the oldest will be four in a couple of weeks. They're beautiful, smart, they like metal, dogs, and every kind of food, and they're weird and morbid like their dad, so I'm obviously crazy about them.

True Belief Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 @Ikard - no haven’t seen the Three Extremes. Don’t really pursue extreme horror as much as I used to. Having a child kinda changed my outlook a fair bit, but I still love the genre.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like I could get away with it more when I was younger, but now the deficit is really catching up with me. It's harder and harder for me to sleep through the night and it's having more of a negative impact on me. Even a couple of nights without good sleep will ruin my mood and cognitive function throughout the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fell asleep at the wheel a few months ago and wrecked my car after the girls and dogs kept me up a few nights in a row, so I'm not about to devalue sleep. It was just a lot easier when it was something I had to do versus being sleep deprived for no good reason.Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the movie was interesting, but nowhere near as good as the Grudge or The Shining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blair Witch jwas one of the first horror films I saw at about 10yo and it scared me half to death. There's a bit of nostalgia there where some of those films I saw more recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortuga Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I love the old Hammer House of Horror movies and most in the gothic horror genre. Interview With A Vampire (sod the Mandela effect for a moment) is another favorite and so is Woman In Black 1. I have watched some Japanese horror...most just bored me to death, but two do stand out: Dororo...good story line and lots of sword fighting...I like sword fighting *lol* And Aragami...much like the above, but what makes it outstanding is that there is only three actors (plus two extras at the very begining and very end) and yet...it is a thumping good movie! I doubt that many old Hammer House of Horror movies will give even young children nightmares these days and neither Dororo or Aragami. However Woman In Black scared the hell out of me...even going to the loo in the "break" frightend me...that long and dark corridor just seemed a lot longer and darker and what was that shadow behind that door...did it just move????? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the nostalgia part. I remember being terrified when I saw part of The Grudge when I was about the same age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RelentlessOblivion Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I just noticed I have a great mix of straight up slashers and psychological horror on my list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natassja Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Just lent the 'Rec' box set. Really enjoyed the first. 'Darling' was another recent-ish one that I enjoyed. Also not horror but just bought the new 'Twin Peaks' series so am looking forward to getting into that, watched the first few but dying to see how it ends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
