Scaring the shit out of myself

My partner is out of town. That means I have the house to myself… I’m all alone… just me and my kitties… spooky! Whenever my partner is away, I like to scare the shit out of myself by watching scary movies in complete darkness. I like being scared. It gives me a rush. Maybe I’m an adrenaline junkie, but I’m too unathletic to chase that high via sports and too straight-laced to chase it via drugs. So, I’m left with getting my fill from scaring myself. I love scary movies and scary video games (I like playing them or sometimes just watching others play them). I also really like reading scary books. Okay, here is a non-exhaustive, impromptu list of my favorite horror media: Movies The Shining. A classic. I saw the TV version at an inappropriately young age, and it scared me so much. The bathtub scene in particular stuck with me. I remember calling my parents to come pick me up from a sleepover because I was afraid there was a woman in my friend’s bathtub. It Follows. One of my favorites…
