Scary Movies

So, it's week five I've decided to do a different topic since I'm out of town. My field site for the week was a good choice.

It's Saturday night and it's so busy with couples, teenagers, families, and elderly people everywhere you look! Mainly teenagers though all in big groups, the line for the snacks is very busy luckily we showed up thirty minutes before the movie started. Scary movies are always packed, this one is especially since it just came out this weekend. We walk to the ticket booth, and the man tells us number six to the right. We walk in and find seats in the middle. Everyone is pretty much already seated and eating their snacks, talking about the previews and if they want to watch that movie next or what movie they want to watch next.

All the other people walk into the movie searching for good seats, it's already packed though. The previews are done and the beginning of the movie credits begin, that means the movie is about to start. Ahh! You can hear everyone getting their bag of popcorn and start eating it like crazy to distract them selves from the alarming scence they are about to endure. All you hear is everyone being scared whispering to their friends that they don't like scary movies, that they don't know why they came and what did they get themselves into. The movie of course starts off with a fact saying some information about the history of glass dolls and their connection with children. Then it goes about seeming like what might be just a normal movie but, then all the scary stuff starts to happen. Everyone starts to freak out and scream, even I did at one part and I normally don't scream in scary movies! The end of the movie comes, and I hear the conversations start about what could've been different about the movie, my friend suggests that it could have had a better ending. As we walk out the door everyone else is talking about if they liked the movie or not. I personally enjoyed the horror film Annabelle, dolls are very creepy though!
