[Kandarian Demon]

I guess it's common knowledge among us horror fans that most of us get desensitised to the genre as we watch more and more movies - and I've definitely experienced that myself, as I've rarely found myself spooked out by any movies in my adult life.

But... recently, something has changed for me. Suddenly, I am being scared by horror movies again!

Violence is one thing... that is a part of "real life", and as we grow older and experience pain, I think it's kind of logical to be more disturbed by stuff like that.

But... ghosts, monsters and other stuff that a nearly 40 year old woman shouldn't care about anymore? Who does THAT suddenly scare the crap out of me again?!

Not that I'm complaining... I've always wished I could watch horror movies through the eyes of the kid I once was again, and although I'm not the coward I was back then :D, I guess this is the closest thing I'll get to it.

Suddenly, even the scary pics on the DVD covers get to me. When watching a movie, I am sometimes tempted to cover my eyes... the jump scares are suddenly working on me again too. And when the movie is over, I feel slightly paranoid... it's a lot of fun!! :D

I suspect that it's probably just a phase, caused by something, whatever that might be, that is going on in my crazy little brain at the moment.

But I'm wondering if any of you experienced horror fanatics have had that happen to you too? And if it did... did it last? :D
