fear

I started writing late at night. The office building I was in was silent. This time is the last time I watched "Midnight Bell". It was past one o'clock in the morning and that time, I turned off all the lights in the office, and I admit, when the movie started, when the phone rang, and when the woman watching the TV had a horrified look on her face, I was a little creeped out , But at this moment, there were footsteps in the corridor. My heart completely kept up with the rhythm of the footsteps. . . . . .

When I was about to stop breathing, he said, Damn, it's the security guard. So, when Sadako climbed out of the well and out of the TV, I thought hard about whether she would climb out of my computer screen.

I have been very timid since I was a child, but I am very vain, and I have always refused to admit it. When I was in primary school, I overheard my grandfather and the others telling ghost stories and cemetery fox fairies at night. I was afraid and reluctant to walk away. For a while, I didn’t dare to go out at night, and I didn’t even dare to look at the windows. It was dark behind the glass. The imaginary monsters and ghosts seem to stick their heads out at any time. Of course, at that time, I didn't know that fox fairies were all beautiful women, and being seen by them was like a pie in the sky.

When I was in junior high school, my family lived on the fourth floor. It was dark after school in winter. There was a wooden box containing coal at the corner of the stairs on the third and fourth floors. I always felt like a coffin. Opening it, one—maybe a zombie, maybe a headless man who suddenly came to life, maybe a humanoid monster, sat up slowly and turned his head to me. On the second floor, there is a log as tall as a person, leaning against the corner, there is only a long shadow in the darkness, I am worried that it will live. I first walked to the stairs on the first floor lightly, for fear of waking them up, then I gritted my teeth and rushed from the first floor to the fourth floor in one breath. If you take a slow step, the monsters will eat me. In fact, during the day I have carefully checked countless times, they are ordinary boxes and wood. But in the dark it's so scary.

I can't tell people about my fears, and I look forward every day to never be out of school. At that time, Hou didn't have much horror material around him, he didn't watch TV, and the books were all healthy and uplifting. The only thing that counted as entertainment was the few manuscripts I've read, "Room 303", "Green Corpse", "The 12th" Zhang Beauty Skin. . . . . . I'm like a drug addict, the more scared I get, the more I can't help looking and thinking, drowning in the wave of fear.

A man named Pliny said that pain is limited, but fear is boundless.

The scariest movie I've ever seen, I think it's Kubrick's The Shining, and every time those two twin girls show up in an empty hallway, I'm shivering and surging down the stairs blood like a flood. I watched it during the day, with the curtains wide open and the sun filling the room, but my heart seemed to be immersed in ice water. After watching it, I was glad that it was during the day, but I also thought about it later, it would definitely be more exciting at night. The little boy in the film, his supernatural ability allows him to see these scenes that others can't see, just like the little Osment in "The Sixth Sense", he directly talks to the non-real world. If a person experiences these things as a child, how will they live in the future.

I have a friend who refuses to watch all horror movies, refuses to listen to all ghost stories, she said that her imagination can inflate a little fear into infinity, lingering like a nightmare. She only likes to read fairy tales, "The Little Prince", "Peter Pan". . . . . . I always want to take her to a horror movie. While writing these words, the sound of the wind whistling came from the dark night outside. Grandma said, there is a ghost in the swirling wind, and my heart is always hanging in the air. Even if I walk at night now, I still feel a little heart palpitations when I think of the situation when I was a child. Such fear is also good, Wilde said, and outright fear is the foundation of optimism. Well, I'm afraid, which means I'm not completely nothing--a feeling that's been haunting me lately--a feeling that scares me. Those who are not afraid of anything are no different from the dead.

However, with the increase of age, the fear is much less now, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, maybe I'm old, my heart is rough, my imagination is dry, maybe I'm mature, it's boring to be mature.

The most recent horror movie I watched was Japan's "Dark Underwater", a little girl drowned in a water tank, her ghost haunted a single mother and her daughter in the building, so the ceiling began to seep water stains, the faucet was inexplicable Can't be shut down. . . . . . After reading it, I found that the faucet in my house was also leaking. It's dark outside, and I'm thinking about these horrible things here, how will I go home soon.

    "In the film, the role of Jack Torrance has no arcs, nothing at all. When we first saw Jack Nicholson, he appeared in the hotel manager’s office, and then he was crazy like a toilet rat. The behavior is to become more crazy. In the book, he was supposed to be a guy who continued to fight with reason, but finally lost. To me, this is tantamount to a tragedy. But there is no tragedy in the movie, because from It hasn't really changed."...In addition, Stephen King also questioned the casting of Jack Nicholson. He believed that the portrayal of the madman who flew over the cuckoo's den five years ago impressed the audience too deeply, which would inevitably lead them to the role of this film. Crazy preconceived expectations. But in Kubrick's subversive version, this is a big plus! To borrow Hitchcock's words: Why do I love to use big-name stars? Because the first roll of film can be omitted to introduce the personality.

    The lack of ink on the "deterioration of feelings" between the characters, on the contrary, attributed the tragedy more to the judgment swayed by the ghost of the hotel. This makes the degeneration of emotions seem very abrupt, and also seriously downplays the discussion about the "fragmentation of love", which is precisely where the soul of horror lies.
