Dame..

Irony is - I was on one of the first flights back from LA to NY after 9/11...

Was it intense for you too? Not one person spoke during my flight at any point.

Well everyone was hyper-sensitive to everything going on around them (no surprise). As I was getting onto the plane, the passenger in front of me had his boarding passed scanned and I noticed the LED said "already boarded" I have to admit I probably wouldn't notice something like that as I travelled extensively for work and tend to zone out mostly because of the routine of it all - but of course, my senses were heightened. The passenger was waived onto the plane and I said to the employee - "That person's card just said that he was already on the plane". She reassured me saying that he had come off to check a back and was re-boarding.

The whole flight was deathly silent. Anytime people were fidgety or dare I say - got up to get something in their overhead compartment or go to the bathroom - all eyes were on them and the tension was like nothing I have ever witnessed before. Everyone was constantly surveying those around them. The flight attendants were "friendly" but not chatty or overly friendly. They did their job (and well) - but it was clearly noticable that everyone just wanted to arrive safely without any incident.

I was on one of the the first flights from Costa Rica to the US... I had been visiting family... and it was very strange. Especially when we got to customs in Dallas, because we got there at the same time as the flight from London, and it's when they were going through the whole 'foot and mouth disease' (or something like that). And yes, it was very quiet. There was a nervouse ease, if that makes sense, during the entire flight.

I never knew Friday the 13th was a lucky day for Aries! (I'm an Aries)

~I'm not superstitious

~I haaaaaaaaaaaaaate horror movies. I'll watch from time to time if I'm with other people..... one you will NEVER catch me watching though is The Exorcist.

~Hannibal Lector (love him!)

~I cant remember the last time I was TRULY scared.... I got a little wigged out when I first moved into this house though. It was my first night here alone, I'd just gotten home from a bar with my best friend and it was probably around 2 or 2:30am. I could hear kids laughing and giggling outside, then all of a sudden I heard one of them screaming. The 'she' was right on my front porch screaming and pounding on my door. When I looked outside, nobody was there and it was silent.

on a side note... back home in Costa Rica, the bad luck day is actually Tuesday the 13th. I'm not sure if it's the same in all latin countries...

This is my favorite day!

My favorite number is 13 and, well, on one Friday the 13th back when so many good things happened in one day - like making all county band (and that wasn't even the best thing!).

The only thing I am superstitious about is the day before Thanksgiving. For whatever odd reason, that day is just EVIL for my family and bad things always happen then, so NOBODY is allowed out of the house that day. It's that bad!

I'm a wimp, so all horror movies scare me. I hate the horror genre in gerneral.

Ooh, I just remembered another time I was really scared. Strangely enough, this one also involves tile.

When I was in high school, my whole family woke up at about 3 in the morning to what sounded like loud stomping or people running back and forth in the hallway.

It turned out to be a few tiles popping up and cracking. It had something to do with the foundation settling and those tiles not being laid properly, but it did sound really freaky.

Superstitions? Um, I'm always a little freaky in April and May. They're really bad-luck-months for a lot of people I'm close, too. Very creepy.
Horror Movie? The original "The Haunting" with Julie Harris. "Theo, whose hand was I holding?" Yikes!
Favorite Villian? Not terribly scarey, but Alan Rickman in the first "Die Hard" movie! Hot!
When was I last scared? Twenty minutes ago when I found a wet spot on the patio and I think I have a leaky pipe under the house! Now I have to call a plumber for the BIG bucks!
Oh, did anybody know that the original Friday the 13th was the day in 13-something when the Church launched their crack-down on the Knights Templar? Just found this out recently. Trivia bit!

Well, she's not scary in a Friday the 13th way, but my favorite villain is Raymond's Mother in Manchurian Candidate.

Other than my belief in karma, I'm not superstitious.

Does "Psycho Beach Party" count as a horror film? Because if so that's my favorite.

Joan in "Mommie Dearest"

I think I mentally blocked it out.

I'm not really all that superstitious, but I never wish anyone good luck.

Fave horror movie- hmmm I'll probably have to go with the exorcist.

Fave villian- Tie between Hannibal Lector and good ol' Sweeney Todd

The last time I was truly scared was November 12, 2001 (sad that I can remember the exact date, huh?) That was when I was thrown from my bed my the impact of a plane crashing down the block from my school...

What are you most superstitious about?
--I guess this would fall under karma; I'll never say something such as "I hate my life," or "I wish I were dead." That lightning bolt is waiting for me. I know it.

What's your favorite horror movie?
--Eesh... I'm not a horror movie buff, and titles aren't even really coming to mind. 'Poltergeist' scared the Hell out of me when I saw it a few years back.

Who is the all-time scariest or favorite "villian?"
--I don't know if he really counts as a villian, but 'Donnie Darko's' Frank was wonderfully creepy. I'd hate to wake up with that leaning over me.

When was the last time you got scared?
--Over the choir trip, I had a few very close encounters with what I assumed would mean certain doom: climbing down the side of a hotel on a sheet rope, for instance, and going right past the director's window, or getting caught asleep in bed with someone, in a room with twenty people, at two in the morning. When I woke up to that, I thought my life was over.

superstition: At work we never say outloud if we're planning ato close up the store as quickly as possble. It never fails that a customer strolls in a couple of minutes before closing and we end up staying even later than usual. We have documented proof.

horror movie: The scariest is the Exorcist ; I can only watch it during the day (a sunny day) with my finger hovering over the pause and mute buttons. My favorite is
The Silence of the Lambs.

villain: I gotta go with the Anthonys. Both Hannibal Lecter and Norman Bates are the best out there.

my scariest moment: I went to the hospital to stay with my mom. When I got there she was speaking gibberish. Once she was talking again it took her about two hours to recognize me. I still have nightmares about that day.

1. Walking on the right side of a pole.
2. My favorite horror movie, would have to be Texas Chainsaw Massacre! That movie is the scariest that I have ever seen! After I saw it in the movie theatres, I was shaking so bad! Very scary!
3. I always thought "Malicifent" from Sleeping Beauty, has been scary. She is a good villian.
4. Probably, when I saw Amityville about three weekends ago. That movie was pretty scary.

A little late for Friday the 13th, but the scariest movie in my entire life I saw when I was eight - Darby O'Gill and the Little People. The Banshee and the Coach of Death - dear God!! That movie ruined my life - I was never the same. Also, a particularly creepy episode (same year) of One Step Beyond (those stories were supposed to be true!!) of a man and his mistress who murdered his wife, and then this strange stain appears on the wall that nothing will wash away and as the year goes on it gets bigger - one time they say it looks like a dancing bear - and then, on the anniversary of the wife's death the stain is the picture of her face at the moment they killed her. I'll never forget the shot of that wall!! And the theme music in One Step Beyond is the creepiest music I ever heard.
