Do you believe in the devil?
there is a devil of course, i meant my addiction to scary movies has made me scary-movie numb I understand, yes. That has happened to me in a sense, too, but I don't think I could ever become numb to the fear induced by the reality of the devil. |

Yes, and I suppose it would indeed become possible to desensitize yourself to that level, but that seems quite unhealthy. |

Another reason why I hate horror movies. I don't want to be de-sensitized to evil, but to run away from it. Horror movies can numb one to evil, at least for me, if watched too much.

SPOILER Originally there were three different endings to Paranormal Activity. There are people who have actually seen the different endings in the movie theaters. You can probably do a search for it online (I would - but Im' at work right now). Frankly, I think the ending where she walks zombie-like up to the camera and slits her throat might have been eerier.
- Lisa
I agree that would have been the better ending. The standard version has Micah flying into the camera in the end, which is over the top and produced more laughs than fright. There is also an alternative with the police accidentally shooting the girl which may have worked better too. The whole thing got rather silly though by the time the Ouija board was set on fire. Who the heck would stay in that house at night for so long, especially after being dragged down the hall by an invisible entity!? At least make coffee and stay awake past 3am and have friends over! Or run outside and call the neighbours. When the common sense goes, so does empathy for the characters and the fear that may have been produced. |

There wasn't much logic or common sense on the part of the inhabitants. |

The scripture says "8 For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things.
If anyone thinks horror movies are virtuous and holy then they have rocks in their heads. I know I bag the SSPX but their stance on TV and movies etc. is commendable. The vatican endorsements of Harry Potter etc. (which I would grade as horror) is a lamentable sellout to the world and a betrayal of christianity. The TV is a diabolical instrument of the devil. No more effective device for the stripping of souls was ever invented by Satan. And I say this as one who struggles continuously from the allure of the box. I have even disconnected the TV but now I have started watching TV through the Internet.
But the Lord says "If our right eye causes us to sin then pluck it out". Therefore we should get rid of our TV's. And if that does not solve the problem then we should get rid of the Internet which is probably the next step for me (which will probably please many people here).

Here are the words of Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) regarding the New Mass:
The liturgical reform, in its concrete realization, has distanced itself even more from its origin. The result has not been a reanimation, but devastation. In place of the liturgy, fruit of a continual development, they have placed a fabricated liturgy. They have deserted a vital process of growth and becoming in order to substitute a fabrication.They did not want to continue the development, the organic maturing of something living through the centuries, and they replaced it, in the manner of technical production, by a fabrication, a banal product of the moment.
(Revue Theologisches, Vol. 20, Feb. 1990, pgs. 103-104)

And if that does not solve the problem then we should get rid of the Internet which is probably the next step for me (which will probably please many people here). I got rid of the television ten years ago for a number of reasons which were right for me. I admit I exchanged it for a computer, just another form of entertainment, but it's made a huge improvement in my life. For others, maybe not so much. I know my limits when it comes to horror movies and I still like some of them. For me it's the same as riding a roller coaster. There's an element of thrill or even danger that seems natural enough. We have all found temporary escape in some way or another. I've never read the Harry Potter books but I do know Catholics who have enjoyed the series and have not in any way become interested in the occult. I would say that if a fascination in the occult follows then definitely one should avoid reading those books. An exorcist priest was recently interviewed on EWTN and he said that our fascination with ghosts, vampires, and monsters etc., stems from a human fascination of non-human beings, including animals, angels, and devils. They are different from us and so there is a natural curiosity about them. This natural curiosity in itself is not dangerous - rather, it's what we do with it and how much we allow it to manipulate our lives that could become dangerous. We have to watch the line between finding evil entertaining and entertaining evil, because it could be a fine line indeed. - Lisa |

Hummm. Interesting take. Some things to note: 1. Watching it in the theater is much more effective. 2. I can watch any "scary movie" without a single physiological reaction if I drink a substantial amount of alcohol. 3. You already knew much of the movie before you saw it anyway. 4. You had quite some time to expect the unexpected: an impossible level of "scariness". That is probably mostly due to this thread and whatever else you have heard or read. 5. The ending you saw is (in my opinion) not nearly as good as the ending shown in theaters. The "scary" aspect lies in its reality. Most horror movies which treat of this topic are compromised by a lack of realism. I wasn't expecting it to be so genuine in its execution of a very real topic. Additionally, I had read no reviews, seen no previews, drank no alcohol, and watched it in theaters. |
