You know when you have Director Wes Craven, who also Directed the Movies 'The Hills Have Eyes Parts 1 and 2', and the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' Series, you're in for a scare-filled night. The original however topped them all. When I watched the original SCREAM, it was at night, it was storming out, and I was alone. I got half-way through the movie and had to turn it off because I was so frightened. I figured I'd finish it in the morning in better weather conditions and when it was light and I could see all around my surroundings very easily. Well, I went to bed and left the lamp on my nightstand on. On the opposite side of my bed, I had a tall cabinet that had plexi-glass on it, which has the effect of you looking into it and being able to see yourself and what's behind you. Well I fell asleep, facing that cabinet. My father got home and thought I was still awake, so he went in to say goodnight. Well he saw I was sleeping peacefully and decided he'd be nice and turn off my lamp. Well when he leaned down to flick the little nob, he knocked some things around my nightstand. My eyes popped open and all I saw was a figure leaning over. I jumped up and threw my fist at the "figure". I hit my dad smack-dab in his adam's apple, causing him to fall to the ground gasping for air. I felt so bad. He never went into my room again if I was asleep.

Back to the movies, I loved the 1st, which I finished watching the next day, and the 2nd, but the 3rd took the series too far...still a good watch though if you want to know what happens to the characters...
