What’s a book or movie that genuinely scared you?

That is honestly a good one. And for this, I went to the cinema with my friend.

The movie was Insidious. It was the first time that both my friend and I went to watch a scary movie in the cinema, and it was quite an experience: sitting under my coat for 2 hours and shrieking at the screams in the audience.

I must admit, I peeked out from under the coat once in a while. And with my luck (or, to be exact, the lack thereof), I got to see all those crazy scary scenes, including the red face appearing behind the man. Terrifying!

As expected, both my friend and I could not sleep that night. We both woke up our moms in the middle of the night and got a mighty scolding. And we were both 18 years old already  So that was embarrasing for us, and mighty entertaining for our above and below neighbours. 

I mean, being a fan of horror, I do not know what happened with that one. Usually, I am all in for psycho-killer series and terrifying moments, but somehow something went wrong with this one, and it scarred me for a while. Perhaps it was the cinema setting, the screaming of the other women in the audience, or the terrified face of my friend. We will never know.

Would I watch it again? Perhaps, maybe not in a cinema and not with that friend. 

But it was one of the scariest movies I have ever watched.
