If you could make one rule here at AM that everyone had to follow, what rule would you make?

Ms Admin would certainly allow us to make rule, at least for this question.

    My apologies, I do that quite a few times for the same reasons stated by WelbyQuentin and otherwise too!

    The idea is everyone should give information about their profile pic. I see few weird pics in profile and wonder!

    I realize how I overuse the word 'favorite' -- I really do use it too much. Keeping that in mind, I do believe 1968's "Night of the Living Dead" is my favorite movie. No movie has impacted my life as much -- I read the novelization of the movie (written by co-screenplay author John Russo) when I was about 11 years old and it terrified me in all the best ways. At about 13 years old, I saw the movie for the first time at a drive-in theater with my dad, brother, sister, my sister's friend and my friend -- and the movie terrified me and all of us in the car were transfixed; my dad (dressed in old pants and a white dirty T-shirt [he had been working in the garage the whole day] ) at one point went to the concession stand and on the way back, he started to purposely shuffle like a 'living dead' person -- and we in the car saw people in their cars recoil in fright as he shuffled by, close to their car windows! Ha! - - I've traveled numerous times to the site north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA (Evans City) where a large portion of the movie was filmed, I've met and talked with many of the movie's crew and cast --  it's a great movie to me.

    My avatar is a scene from the movie.

    You're welcome!

    Yeah, it scared me a lot! It still does, actually.

    And here's an image of the book cover of the book I bought when I was about 11 years old. I saw it in the book store and immediately grabbed it. It all started there.
    I'm glad my parents allowed me to buy it.

    Yeah, when it came to scary TV, movies or books --  I was there, even at a relatively young age.
    I'd often sneak downstairs when everyone in my family was asleep and I'd watch movies that I saw advertised to be shown late at night -- and I'd get scared.
    "The Innocents"
    the original "Village of the Damned"
    and the original "The Haunting"
     -- all three of those movies terrified me and I loved it. And I had watched them alone late at night. But I still adore those movies as an adult and they still scare me.

  • I used to love scary movies when I was a little kid.  My daughter has always been into them as well, but she didn't have to sneak because she never scared easy.    Now I just find them all quite silly, but I do remember as a kid the Exorcist and Trilogy of Terror scared me pretty good.

    I'm unsure why I was drawn to that dark side of books and movies even in younger years.

    Yeah, I'm up in the air on it. I'm biased but I do think I had pretty good taste in movies as a youngster -- every movie I've mentioned here I still find excellent.
    And I'm rather impressed with how my parents dealt with it all as I was growing up. From what I remember, they didn't "forbid" me to watch these scary movies. Instead, I remember them asking me questions all about them after they found out I had watched a particularly scary one. "What scared you about the movie?" they might ask. Looking back, it may have been their way of aiding me in processing my fears and movie interests.
    And sometimes they would sit and watch the movies with me.

    I don't know -- I'm just sort of rambling now.
    :)
