Should I or Shouldn't I?

My friend wants us to go see Paranormal Activity 3 tomorrow and I said okay, but secretly I am terrified.  Well, I guess I can't say secretly, since - after all - I'm stating it on a blog that is open to the entire world despite the fact that embarrasingly few people actually read it.  So ... semi secretly then?

Anyway, so she wants to see Paranormal Activity 3, or else her husband does and I am projecting that desire upon her.  Either way, as far as I know right now we have a plan to go see it tomorrow night.  At first I was okay with it because ghost movies don't scare me all that much since I don't really believe in ghosts.  But, then I saw a preview today and at the end it says "The Last 15 Minutes Will Mess You Up For Life".  Which terrifies me because - as anyone who knows me knows - I have already encountered the movie that would screw me up forever and it really genuinely messed up my life.  That movie being "The Strangers", which did not have "The Last 15 Minutes Will Mess You Up For Life" in the trailer.  So if a movie that has the capacity to keep me from sleeping for nearly 2 years until I finally convinced my husband to buy me both a home alarm system and a gun did not have that in the preview, what about a movie that does?   What will that do to my life?!?!? 

Yet, in spite of my fear and worry - I do sort of still want to see it because scary movies are a staple of the late October timeframe and what would the Halloween season be without scary movies?  Which is why I recorded "Halloween" on TV tonight even though I know it will scare me and keep me from sleeping for the next few days after I watch it. 

Which leads us to the burning question - why do I have it in for myself?   And also, what are the best scary movies for Halloween?
