As far back as I can remember, I was a child who began being obsessed with horror & thriller novels and movies, when I stumbled upon it one day. Psychological thrillers are one of my favorite types of film, to this day.

I can’t think of anything better than eating dinner with the family, putting the baby to bed, snuggling up on the couch with a tub of freshly popped popcorn, and turning the lights down low, to watch a great movie. Of coarse the size of the television has a lot to do with the experience. If you have a smaller tv (like we do) then it’s just not as enjoyable as one of those big screens are.  When you watch on a big screen tv, it feels as if you’re in the movie, not just watching it.

Nothing can beat the heart racing effect these movies have on people, as they anticipate the next move and better yet, these films don’t need to be filled with gore and blood to shock and frighten.

In fact, the movies with excessive blood and gore, just seem to turn me off.  But, a movie with a lot of intricate details, and twists in the plot always leave me with a feeling of satisfaction, in the end.

I prefer films that involve awakening the brain – not just the senses. There is just no sense comparing life before I found out about thrillers and horror flicks, to what I know about it now.

One of the sub-genre’s that always gets my goat, is possession.  I’ve always been fascinated and quite frankly terrified of the whole idea of being possessed by the devil or his counterparts, the detrimental side effects of it and then having to be exorcised, etc.

I tended to watch those types of movies very little over the years, due to the reality factor, but have since come to terms with my own personal fears and started to watch movies about possession.  It still sends a shiver down my spine, but I absolutely love thinking outside the box.  That’s why I have a real love for fiction, especially thrillers and horror. In theses types of movies, anything goes.  You can stick to reality, somewhat, or completely alter the reality of the book/movie and start down your own path.

If you’re a horror and thriller fan, I’m sure you’ll relate to what I’m saying here. But, if you’re someone who is easily terrified, can’t sleep through the night because of having endless nightmares about what you saw earlier in the day, then maybe horrors and thrillers aren’t for you.

But, I honestly recommend finding out what type of horrors and thrillers would best suit you, renting it or downloading it off the internet, and watching with an open mind.  You never know what your reaction will be unless you give it a try.  You may absolutely love it!
