While I'm not a big fan of gore, some people are and I'm okay with that. Not everyone has to like the same things I do.
There are plenty of other things for me to watch. What others do is really none of my concern.

What gets to me are movies based on historical fact or are depictions of what actually happened...like 12 Years A Slave, Schindler' s List, and others.
Because I know theses things actually occurred, it torments me that people did these things, and people suffered so horribly. I really cannot watch those movies. I do read in the literature historical accounts, and as part of my undergrad studies, I studied literature on the Holocaust.
But I can't watch it enacted. I can't take it.
Movies in the sci fi or horror category, or shows like The Walking Dead, don't get me that way because they are fiction.

We would make fun of the lame costumes and effects. seems to be something kids enjoy - spook or monstor movies.
I loved Chilly Billy and watched with my friends too.
Our favorite was Vincent Price and ""House on Haunted Hill.""

We've been Walking Dead fans since the start. Great story line and acting. We also love Game of Thrones, Sons of anarchy and Justified. We really liked Jericho which didn't last more than a few seasons and is similar to WD except it was a nuclear apocalypse of the USA. In bad times having some extra supplies come in handy, money is of no use.

Yes, it is haunting and then it follows me for a long time afterwards. Thanks, Sylvia, for understanding!
