On October 28th I ignored my nerves and saw the haunted house put on by my fellow Waldorf students. I brought my boyfriend with me because I am too much of a scaredy-cat to go on my own. I truly am a baby when it comes to “scary” things; I hate watching scary movies or going to haunted houses. I have anxiety, and these types of things cause my anxiety to be extremely high. If I am being completely honest, my only motivation for going was to get the event for this class, since I have to miss other events because I will be out of state at bowling tournaments. It was not the fact that I did not like the haunted house that I did not want to go, it was only because of the fact I was too scared to go, but I am happy that I went. I realized that …show more content…
When I say the “mad scientist” I could not help but laugh a little because I recognized the person from watching him in other theatre productions and remembering how much he made me laugh; I love his acting. It was also another way to keep me calm. As we walked into basement rooms with concrete walls and duct work, I hesitated. I also hate basements, but kept going anyway. When we got lead into a little room, and a man came running towards us, I kept pushing and rushing my boyfriend, because he was not moving as fast as I was. I am not really sure why I was trying to get out so fast though, I knew he was not going to hurt us and I actually was not as scared of him as I thought I would be. I think it was more instinct and reaction because that’s what you see them do in the movies. Hearing the chainsaw behind also did not worry me as much as I thought it would, but I was still on edge expecting more. When we walked into a room, there was a person standing right next to door way, and when I saw them I let out the loudest scream out of the few I did that night. Right after it happened I laughed at myself, at the fact that out of all the other things I had seen, this was the one that made me scream the most. When we finally got to the end, I expected a last jump scare that did not happen. Well, for us it did right as we were walking out of the doors, the other woman in our group (the one I knew) had grabbed my boyfriend
Her words helped a little, but inside I still felt nervous. My mom told me we can go see Dead Man’s party. On our way to the party we had to walk all the way across the park, so we saw lots of scary monster’s screaming in other people’s ears.When I was talking to my friend, there was a monster that was riding a motorcycle that rode right next to me.
The Haunting of Hill House, written in 1959, is a gothic novel that presents a twist on the traditional view of femininity. During the 1960’s, the Women’s Movement began in the United States and women all over were fighting for equality and to be seen as equal peers amongst men. In the novel, Shirley Jackson writes about a man named Dr. Montague who reaches out to about a dozen people that have experienced anything supernatural or odd of the sort and invites them to spend a summer at Hill House. Of the dozen, four respond, and only two women actually accept the invitation. However, Dr. Montague makes it clear that he has a purpose for them to stay at Hill House - he wants them to actively seek out any odd behavior of the house or anything inside
The next time I woke up I checked to make sure there wasn't any clowns and then checked again to be safe. Lucky for me there were none to be seen and I was relieved but still on edge from the whole encounter. My mom entered the room soon after I gathered all my nerves. She said that she thought that me seeing them and
We were all scared. My grandpa, dad and I running straight into the track. The only thought there was in my mind was, he isn 't okay. Making sure that he turns over and lays on his back as someone calls 911, I left to go get the cart from the trailer. As I left the track to get it, I start crying, fearing the worst. I run back the track and have my dad help me put the car on the trailer cart and pull it back to the trailer and run back to my uncle. As I got back to my uncle, he was talking some intolerable words. After a few minuets, I heard my name from him.

When I was around the age of 11 my father, 2 sisters and I went to disneyland. When we got there we had an amazing time going on rides, eating, and lastly just enjoying one another's company. At the time I was terrified of roller coasters but somehow my sister convinced me to get on California Screamin. While we were in line I was trembling and horrified thinking the worse was going to happen. Once the ride started my stomach felt like it was going to come out, just as a specific loop in the ride was coming up the ride stopped. We were upside down for a good three minutes until the ride kept going. The day with my family took a quick transformation from a good exciting day to a terrifying evening. Transformation obviously created fear. This can be seen in the following short stories as well. Oate’s “Where is Here,” Arthur Tress’ “Dream Collector” and Julio Cortazar’s “House Taken Over” uses
So, young people tend to watch more horror movies to prove the point that he or she can handle seeing the scary images and overcoming the fear. Not surprisingly, those tend to be the same one who feel a huge sigh of relief when the movie is over. I remembered going to watch horror movie called “The Babadook” with my friends during high school years. Despite having slight fear of scary things, I decided to go with my friends just to prove that I don't get scare with horror movies. Even though I got scared in the beginning, I continued pretending that I was enjoying the movie. I wonder if my other friends were doing the same thing like me i.e. pretending to be enjoying even though they were scared too. My main goal was to show that I am a grown up kid now who don't get afraid of anything and is quite brave. I succeeded in proving the point after watching the whole horror movie without a scream. I can relate to reasoning of King, because I experienced it with my my

The Winchester house is one of the oddest and one of most haunted houses in the world. It is located in northern California. It cost over $20,000,000 to make. The owner, Mrs. Winchester, was rich because her family made the Winchester repeating rifle known as “The gun that won the west”. The house has 160 rooms and there are spirits in each room. The builders had to keep remaking rooms that if Mrs. Winchester kept them all she would have 600 rooms. So when they were done with the house, which took over 30 years to make, there were stairs that led to the ceiling and doors that led to walls.
For my Social Norm Project I decided to go to a scary movie at AMC. My friend and I went to the scary movie called Crimson Peak when the movie theater was busy. The reason I decided to go when it was busy and picked a scary movie is because I wanted to laugh instead of scream at the scary parts to see what people would do. It is socially normal to scream when you are afraid, but laughing is normally not a reaction someone would expect. To do the experiment we sat in the middle of the theater so we would be close enough to the people in the theater and every time a scary part would come up I would start laughing hysterically. At first it was difficult to follow through with the experiment because it was a really scary movie and I had to make
It was a bright, warm evening when we were so excited to get a tiny, adorable puppy at Huntington, West Virginia in an enormous, brick house.
