Do you like to be scared? For example, do you watch scary movies and TV shows, go to haunted houses, listen or tell ghost stories, go on scary rides at amusement parks, or take walks at night in scary places (e.g., cemeteries)? If you do any or all of these things, why? Is it fun to scream out loud? As Halloween approaches, there's lot of opportunity to scare and be scared. Will you participate in the scary stuff, or sit it out?
I used to be a scary cat when I was young because my cousin usually told scary stories to me and it made me awake all nights. But it was the past, now, I like to be scared, actually, I like to scream to make the people think I'm scared. I intend to go to the Scary Walk on 31st October so I can find something that can scare me. I bought some stuff for the Costume Party so I now, I just prepare for that scary night!
ReplyDeleteI don't like see scared movie I think it is very fearsome,the ghost is not scared but sometimes you can hear some scared music and let me feel scared.before I saw a scared movie and I feel very scared then I never see the scared movie in the future.but I like listening ghost stories I think it is very exciting. If I go to amusement park,I like to do roller coaster.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I like to be scared.I used to watch scary movies in my bedding with my friends at night.My friends would tell a lot of scary stories.I need to sleep with my friend at night when I watched or listened something scary.I like watched and talked about scary things with my friend because we think they're interesting and bizarre.And I do think it's so fun to scream.When we remember how we scream we often laugh at ourselves.We also feel more relax after we are scared.In fact,watching scary movie is a good way to release stress.
ReplyDeleteAs Halloween approaches,two of my friends and me want to dress up as doctor,nurse and patient.Our clothes will be covered with blood.That must be fun!
I do not like to be scared; something wrong happened to me when i was younger; it was at halloween 's; I went to a party at one of my friends, he had been living in a big house since his father retired; it was the prettiest and the biggest house I had never seen; there seemed to be many people at this party, all of us dressed up; we had just started to dance when we heard someone shout fire !fire! I made up my mind to leave at once; if only i could have guessed it was a joke, but I was a child and iI might have never recovered from it

Scaring and being scared
Halloween is coming. I’m so excited that I can’t wait to experience the atmosphere of haunted Halloween. I plan to wear a scary pumpkin costume and a phantom mark for the Halloween horror night. It must be fun because I can definitely scare plenty of people!
I’m in favor of not only scaring but also being scared. I always watch at least two scary movies or TV shows per month. I have watched plenty of scary movies so far, such as Final Destination, Murder House and Asylum, etc. Additionally, one of my hobbies is going to scary rides at amusement parks. Last month I went to an amusement called Funtown to try the scary ride there. I enjoyed listening to the sound of the wind blowing through my hair. Unfortunately, I felt that I didn’t have much time to scream out loud because the process of enjoying stimulation was really short. However, I still enjoyed other people’s frightened look very much.
In my eyes, one of the reasons that plenty of people like to scare or be scared is that they are under plenty of pressure. In contemporary society, there is a growing tendency for people to be knocked up from overwork. At weekends, they want to make full use of their leisure time to relax themselves. An increasing number of businesses seize this opportunity. Some businesses have opened haunted house projects, such as Netherworld Haunted House in Atlanta and Spy House in Middletown, etc. Based on the above reason, I firmly believe that peoples’ accelerated demands of being scared in order to release pressure in their tense lives stimulate the growth of terrorist projects.
In short, I’m in favor of scaring and being scared because they can add great pleasure to our lives. As Halloween approaches, why not seize every valuable opportunity to participate in the scary stuff?
I think getting scared is fun, specially with friends because you can laugh at them and they to you. For example this weekend me and my friends went to a haunted walk and it was very very funny. Also, you can have a great night watching a scary movie with friends and a lot of food, specially now that Halloween is near.
ReplyDeleteI like watch scary movies on cinema with my friends. Actually I do not like watch scary movies by myself. I hate scary stories. Because my friends used to tell many stories to me about ghost. That let me can not sleep whole night. I think making people scared is really interesting thing. Sometimes I plan many pranks to my friends, and let him to be scared. Halloween is coming, I will get my own scary stuff and go to scare people.
ReplyDeleteActually I don't like be scared because some boys used to scared me and think it is fun when I felt so scared that made some mistakes. But I like scary movies or stories , even I always watch it at night , I don't feel scared , maybe I am little weird hhh.( ^ω^ )
ReplyDeleteI used to be sacred at big dogs ,because I saw a big dog attack a man when I was a child . I still don't like some big dogs that are unfriendly, I like smart and friendly dogs! Halloween is coming now! I am ready to have fun hhh!
I like to watch scary TV shows. Am I like to be scared ? Well, about this question, I only can say, it depends on my mood. If I am in a good mood, be scared is fun. But if I am in a awful mood, then you scared me, I can't promise to you that I won't scary you back, but I am sure you are dead fish. So be careful, by the way, I usually in a good mood. Happy Halloween！
ReplyDeleteI think that it will be so much fun to scare people, but not be scared myself. I used to be curious about scary stories, so my family told me a lot of them, especially my grandmama. She told me not to go outside alone when it's dark, because there are bad people waiting for grab you, or even zombies. They scared me successfully and make me afraid of those things. They thought it was a good way to keep me around them, instead of trying to find me. In fact, they made me super scared, and now I don't like to go outside alone. I will dress up as a magic man on Halloween night, and go trick-or-treating, but someone must go with me. My other desire, is that I hope I will not pee my pants when I get scared.
ReplyDeleteDeepens s on the situation I like to be scared, if I am alone and someone's scare me I would probably punch him or her in the face, but if I am with my friends on a haunted walk or watching scary movies I do like to be scared. In Halloween everyone should get a costume, where is the spirit guys? I think the best part of Halloween is getting free food, hang out with friends, and the parties.
ReplyDeleteI don't really get scared from horror movies, so I like to watch horror movies with my friends. I like watching their reactions. That's so funny.
ReplyDeleteI love watching scary movies but I usually pause the movies a lot because I got too scare. I like these movies because they have a mystery atmosphere. I don' t scream when I get scared, and I don't like people to scare me suddenly,
ReplyDeleteThe Halloween is incoming but I'm not so excited about it. I'm not a very brave boy before. I always wanted to find a place to hide when something terrible was about to happen. I started to watch horror movies when I was in middle school. I love science fiction so I usually watch the horror alien stories.
ReplyDeleteThe most horrible time in my life was visiting Hollywood's world famous haunted houses. The actors here is really frightening and I was deeply shocked by them. I cried for one hour!
During this Halloween day, I will join the hallowen walk with Edward and Billy. Maybe I will have a great experience.
Tomorrow is holloween-day. I have never celebrated it. I expect and wonder what is the Halloween party about. Halloween is a part of america culture so I want to learn and experience. But in others, I scared little bit about halloween because I am cowardly. I can't even watch scary movies at all. If someone ask me that watch horror movie together, I always refused that. After I watched scary movie, I was in a mortal fright and I can not sleep. So I can't understand people who like scary things. I think halloween-day will be good event for some people who like scary things and like to be scared.
ReplyDeleteI haven't saw a lot of scare novel or anything else. I just saw a movie that name is Paranormal Activity and go to the haunted house in Universal Studio in last Halloween with my friend. I feel so scare about those. Those are not what I want to go. My friends make me going. A Lot of zombies touch me and walk around me in dense fog in Universal Studio. I am sure those are funny but I don't want to try again.
ReplyDeleteI'm usually don't get scared, but I like to watch others get scared, that's really amusing! Especially for scary movie, if someone sit next to me and screaming, I will laugh so hard haha. Haunted houses are cool, when people get in, they all hand on each other, that's a lot of fun. I think I will try to scared somebody on Halloween, it's gonna be funny!
ReplyDeleteI did not like scary things when I was a child. When I was a little child. My brother told me some scary stories. After I heard these stories, I could not fall asleep. I was very afraid of ghosts. But now I am not that afraid. Sometimes I want to watch some scary movies and go to hunted house. I feel excited of watching scary things. I think that because I need some stimulus. I will participate some scary stuff with my friends and I am looking forward to Halloween.
ReplyDeleteNo you are lying!
DeleteI'll definitely say yes! I like to watch horror movies; tell and hear ghost stories and so on. Sometimes some scary movies do make me scared and I wouldn't go to the bathroom at night especially when I was a little girl. But after sometime I would still be willing to watch another scary movie! And I don't know why. It's just a fun thing to do. It's interesting and excited. And I love to be a good ghost story teller. I love to see the expressions on my friends face when they are scared by my story!٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́)و
ReplyDeleteAnd there is another excellent reason to be scared: it makes you lose weight!!!
Sometimes I watch some scary movies such us 'Season of the witch' or read ghost stories.But I hate haunted house.Once I went to a haunted house with my friend Nicole and her boyfriend(OK I admit that I was a third wheel in that kind of data=_=)Her boyfriend wanted to see Nicole be scared and ask him for comfort. But actually,Nicole was laughing and chatting with us and felt no dear with the haunted house, and I held hear arm tight,got a great fear with the waggle corpse bags.I prefer to see some no three dimensional things to entertain or seek for stimulate, even I may insomnia because of this,I will sit out during the Halloween approached because I HATE HAUNTED HOUSE OR THE SCARY THINGS CAN BE TOUCH IN THREE DIMENSIONAL.
ReplyDeleteI don't really know how to say me feeling about Hallowing. Sometimes, I would like to find some information about the ghost because I think it is very mysterious. And I like talking about scary things with friends. It is very interesting. But i don't like scary movie because it makes me nervous in the night, and I don't want to go to restroom by my self, I feel scared. I don't like scary movie is not means I don't like everything about scary . For example I really like to go to a ghost house with my friends, I can feel amazing. I can remember i went to the ghost in the last year. It is really fun. Many Ghost was jump out from the house, and they make scary voice to tried to scared us.
ReplyDeleteI like to be scared, then I can pretend I had been be scared, and when they were laugh， suddenly scared the one who scared me, it will be fun, and I like to listen scare story because when I listening scare story I felt excite, but when I sleeping I will feel terrible, and say to my self: why you did it again? I like Halloween, and I will go Halloween walking.
ReplyDeleteI really like to be scared. I enjoy to watch scary movies and TV shows, such as Silent Hill, American Horror Story, The Originals and Vampire Diaries. I have only been to haunted houses for once time, because all my friends are timid. And I do not want to go there alone. I not only love to listen or tell ghost stories, but also love to read scary stories. I would like to try to take walks at night in scary place or go on scary rides at amusement parks if there has someone can go with me. The reason of doing those things, maybe is because I want to challenge myself. I want to improve that I am not timid at all, and I can take care of myself. I like to scream out loud, it can help me forget all the unhappy things. Of course I will join into the Halloween party. Maybe I do not have enough money to buy the costume, but I will definitely find other ways to scared people. I am coming!!!
ReplyDeleteTwo years ago, I was looking trough my elementary school year old cousin, when we were at page with a 2 grades class that looks just like Esteban, when I asked who Esteban was she just said the boy in my closet and kept on looking trough the pictures I almost died
ReplyDeleteI don't like to be scared, but I like to scared other people. Because it is so interesting. When I was a child, I went to haunted house with my old sister,a lot of scared things in the house，such as some bloodstain on the wall, staffs of the house wear death clothes, and so on. That is so scared! I will participate in the scary stuff tonight and buy Halloween walk tickets to day.
ReplyDeleteEven tho I hate being scared by others, I couldn't say I don't want to be in the scary stuffs. Because I really love to watch people being scared by others. I really do love the face they will be showing that without awareness. Speaking of scary movies, I would love to watch it with my friends. But I think the reason of that would be the popcorn. Lololol.

I don't care to be scared because when someone scare me I start laughing I don't know why, I don't use to watch movies and if I watch a movie a prefer comedies and I don't use to take walks at night because is dark...
ReplyDeleteI like being scared coz I like it and I find it quite funny. I'm not going to the hunted walk today because when I was about to sign up it was too late but then I'm going to watch a scary move.
ReplyDeletei dont mind to be scared in halloween because this is kind of traditional thing in this festival.But. i hate to be scared by a scary movie.I am sacred about watching thriller since i was a kid,i think there might be a ghost or zombie under my bed or on the way to my home.Even now i grow up i still don't want to watch thriller because i feel uncomfortable with watching those disgusting plot.Well,these are my opinion about being scared.As for participating in activities,I'm not sure yet.I possibly will not join .
ReplyDeleteI like Halloween very much because it is so interesting. Everyone wear funny clothes. I like scary things such as hunted walk. I'm going to go to the hunted walk tonight. However, I cannot walk alone and I need to walk with other people. I don't watch scary movie because it is too scary. I cannot sleep if I watch scary movie. I like reading scar story and tell other people stories. I want to scare some people this Halloween and I will have fun.
ReplyDeleteI don’t like be scared, but I like to scare the other guys. I know that’s not friendly, and It’s a good chance to scare somebody during Halloween. I like watching scare moives with my friends. I often shout when I watch scare movies wih m friends. It’s really interesting.
ReplyDeleteActually, my birthday is on Halloween. I don't like to be scared, but I love to scare people! I enjoy the emotion that the people be shocked. My brother told me some thing like eveyti me when I go to the bed, better to check under the bed, It might be something! Until 14 years old, I always check my bed when I go to the bed. But I enjoy to watch the scary movie with my fiend, that point, we can scare each other when we fouces on the movie, that will be really fun!
ReplyDeleteScary movie is a kind of my favorite movie, but actually the scary movies that I saw in cinema are less than five. Compare to other kinds of movies, it is few. The reason is very simple-I have no courage. I remember last year I watched a movie called "Silent Hill". It is very horrific. Even now I still can recollect the scary part of that movie.
ReplyDeleteIn fact I prefer something that is not too scared, and meanwhile to add some other elements like the impressive plot. There is a scared game which moved me called "My Desire"(I didn't play that game, I just know it by watching someone's live) My Desire is not a game which only frighten you, and it is more like an affecting story. I could learn something that will be very helpful for my future. This is what do I really want. I hope I will find some other games or movies like My Desire.
I like scary things. I like watch the scary movie with my friend. I like scaring someone with my friend. My best friend doesn’t like scary things. I always telling scary story to her and she always has no brave to go to bathroom at night. Last year, I went to the sacred walking. That was fun, and I ‘saved’ my friend. This year, I don’t go to the scared walking again because here is a important person for me his birthday is on the Halloween. We need to celebrate, but I also can tell the scary story to him and make he needs check the space that under his bed before he go to the bed again.
ReplyDeleteI think to set up Chinese Thanksgiving Day
ReplyDeletebecause Thanksgiving Day is traditionally a day for families and friends to get together for a special meal. The meal often includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie, and vegetables. Thanksgiving Day is a time for many people to give thanks for what they have.Thanksgiving Day parades are held in some cities and towns on or around Thanksgiving Day. Some parades and festivities also mark the opening of the Christmas shopping season. Some people have a four-day weekend so it is a popular time for trips and to visit family and friends
Jerry - This doesn't respond to the question: do you like to be scared?
DeleteI hate scary things, either movies,objects or books. When I was nine years old. I watched a scary movie. I cried like 6 minutes and when I was thirteen years old I read a scary story book. Then I could not sleep well about one and half month, every time I closed my eyes the scary thing was appear before my eyes. Then I decide never see scary books or movies during my life.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has his or her own extensive spot in life. For me, I am a person who always easily get scared. Being scared is kind of a tradition on Halloween, most of my friends really enjoying being scared by other people on Halloween. So do I. Sometimes I would like to be scared and sometimes I do not. It depends on the situation. For example, I will never choose to watch a scary movie by myself . The reason why is that if I am alone, I will image lots of creepy scenes by myself. It will also influence my sleep, make me dream a nightmare. As you know, it is not healthy for our psychology. On another hand, sometimes I enjoy being scared when I stay with my friends. I always have a lot of fun with my friends when we go to a haunted mansion together. Some of us are hard to get scared, and some of us are not. So when we feel too scared that we can not handle the scary any more, we always can rely on our friends. It is really fun when we stay together and get scared. It is always a chance to feel the lovely friendship between my friends and me. In a word, for me, I enjoy being scared when my friends are with me, but I do not like being scared when there is just me by myself.
ReplyDeleteI love halloween, but i don’t like to be scared. I love halloween cause I can go to the sacred house or some scare field with my friends. we can shout out with a very loud sound in those place, we can hold each other in those place, although those place make me feel scare but also let me feel the friend ship is alive, and every one can be happy after those place. So i love halloween.
ReplyDeleteOh my god, I don’t want to be scared because I don’t like the feeling of that, I watched a lot of scary movies with my parents when I was a little boy, and whenever I watched these kinds of movies, I couldn’t sleep in the night because I was just a child at that time..... I don’t like screaming, and these kinds of feeling, but I know that lots of people like the feeling of that, include the most of my good friends, so I went to the haunted house with my good friends tonight, and it’s a really interesting trip for Halloween night! Maybe you don’t like some thing, but some of my friends like them, I’m pleasure to try them because I think I can usually find some interesting things from them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone, for your comments on being scared. It seems that about half of you like to be scared, and half don't. Many of you told interesting stories about times you were scared and how they affected you. I enjoyed reading your comments.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I don’t like to be scared. No screed movies, TV shows, but stories or novels are okay. Sometimes they are fun.
ReplyDeleteThe mid night’s forest is scared, the temperature is low, the wind is blowing and make some scream. So I have never been to forest at night.
If I do these things, that must because of I have to do it…
And the halloween comes, theres’s must be lots of opportunity to scare and be scared, I will try my best to adapt it and enjoy the festival.
Yesterday was Halloween and I had a great, great fun was had a party at school and I liked it. It is the first time I celebrate Halloween in united states I liked it, everyone is disguised. It's been a good day
ReplyDeleteI like to be scared,and I very like playing scared game such as,Resident Evil and The Evil Within.But I seldom get scared when I’m playing those games.Maybe just because I’m used to it.And I seldom scared by haunted house or the thing like that,too.Though I really like to be scared,I just can’t find anything that can scare me.Maybe one day, I can find a really frightened game or a hunted house that can make me scared.
ReplyDeleteI don't like to be scared. It makes me feel nervous and dangerous. I don't like this feel. And I don't like any scare books or movies.
ReplyDelete
