Well, this is it! Here are the answers to the last question I asked on my horror survey. I hope you've all enjoyed seeing the results!
Question 25. If someone just met you, would they be shocked to learn that you like horror movies? Why or why not?
ZUZI W. (Illinois): I don't think so. I like a lot of things, but I am the queen of exceptions.
JASON B. (Ohio): I have no idea
MISSY B. (Texas): not at all
KRISTOPHER B. (North Carolina): no
REBECCA G. (Illinois): I don't think they would be shocked but im sure they would not watch them all with me
BRENNA C. (Florida): Yes. They never believe me. Apparently I look like the type of girl who watches, “The Wedding Date,” and “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” which I think is insulting.
SAM W. (Florida): Doubtful.
GEORGIA A. (Illinois): No, because a lot of people like horror movies, and it definitely plays a part in my personality (and some people seem to think my looks as well), so I don't see why it would be shocking. If there is a person who is shocked by the prospect of liking horror movies, they probably wouldn't be talking to me in the first place.
MYKEL D. (Michigan): No, horror movies just dont shock many people these days.
SEAN A. (Illinois): I dont know how to answer that.
OBERON (Iowa): I doubt it.
FELIPE S. (Arkansas): no b/c i own alot of movies
KEVIN P. (Illinois): No. Because I would have probably shocked them with my cinema knowledge and other things.
The high temperature here today was 1. That it, 1! Needless to say, I am very jealous of the survey respondents from Texas and Florida right about now.
Question 24. Do you collect any horror movie memorabilia? If so, what do you collect/own?
ZUZI W. (Illinois): NA
JASON B. (Ohio): No.
MISSY B. (Texas): vampire stuff, coffins, bats
KRISTOPHER B. (North Carolina): no
REBECCA G. (Illinois): i have the life size bride of chucky doll which i totally adore, and the original full set of nightmare on elm street trading cards, as well as numerous small figures of chucky and freddy
BRENNA C. (Florida): Other than my DVDs which don’t really count, I have a Nightmare on Elm Street sign that I hang in my window in October, a Bates Motel bathroom kit from Psycho, and a hanging Jason doll type thing from Friday the 13th. These things only come out for the month of October though.
SAM W. (Florida): I've bought many Buffy (tv series) items, magazines, set props, signed posters, keychain. Probably one of the reasons I even bought any of that was because I had the TV show with me for 7 years, and wanted to bring things with me to keep me reminded of how much I loved it. Movies, not so much.
GEORGIA A. (Illinois): na
MYKEL D. (Michigan): Not really.
SEAN A. (Illinois): Anything from Rocky Horror, Dvd's, the Soundtrack on Vinyl, Pins, Pictures, Posters, then DVD's of any of my other favorite movies, and some other random posters.
OBERON (Iowa): No.
FELIPE S. (Arkansas): i own lots of movies that i like
KEVIN P. (Illinois): No

Hi all! Sorry for the interruption in posting the results of my horror survey. I've had a busy week and needed to skip posting for a few days to keep caught up with everything else. At any rate, here are the results to question #23. Enjoy!
Question 23. Do you have any phobias there are a direct result of something you saw in a horror movie? If so, what is the phobia and what movie do you think caused it?
ZUZI W. (Illinois): NA
JASON B. (Ohio): If so, what is the phobia and what movie do you think caused it? "Jaws" made me afraid of swimming in the ocean.
MISSY B. (Texas): no- nothing comes to mind
KRISTOPHER B. (North Carolina): When out at a mall , and I go to the rest room and there’s no one else in there I cheek the stalls, cause it this one movie I saw this guy going to the bath and someone came out of nowhere and cut off his Mr. happy
REBECCA G. (Illinois): Nope no phobias
BRENNA C. (Florida): Lol, I’m sort of paranoid about someone hiding in my house. I check behind my shower curtain, under my bed, in my closet, etc. (like a 5 year old). I blame, When A Stranger Calls. That Kurt Duncan kept getting into everyone’s houses/apartments! He just hid and watched and waited! So now I’m creeped out about someone hiding in my apartment, watching me. I also get creeped out if someone calls me with a blocked caller ID.
SAM W. (Florida): Not really phobias, but I do check the back of my seat anytime I get in my car.
GEORGIA A. (Illinois): na
MYKEL D. (Michigan): Bee's- Candyman
SEAN A. (Illinois): Serail Killers because of Scream would be a little one, and maybe being in the dark alone.
OBERON (Iowa): No.
FELIPE S. (Arkansas): that someone is watching me, ??
KEVIN P. (Illinois): Well, after seeing Gremlins in the theater, I did sleep with a flashlight for a few days. Does that count?
