Horror to the limit

My first experience of watching a horror movie, was the time when I was four years old. I was sitting along with my three sisters, flipping through the 20 channels we had in our old tv. It was during the month of October when alot of scary movie are shown every night before Halloween. On that certain day, we came across the movie the Leperchaun. My three sisters dared each other of who could watch the movie the longest. I wanted to prove to my sisters that despite my age, I was boy, and boys aren't scared of anything. While watching the movie, I was terrified. I didn't want to tell my sisters I was scared even though at times they would look at my direction and see me closing my eyes when the "Lepercaun" came to kill the victims. After the movie was over, I sat in silence and walked over to the kitchen for a bed night snack. I headed straight for my room and shut the door as fast as I could. Quickly I changed, and sat on my bed thinking if the "Lepercaun" was even real. When your four years old, you tend to believe anything. Our family closed all of the lights and I tried closing my eyes. Suddenly, I heard a noise across the hall. Then a slow knocking at my door. "Someone is trying to get me!," I thought and I went under the covers. With all of my strength, I walked up to the door and screamed "I'm not scared of you!" at the top of my lungs. My palms were sweaty when I gripped onto my bedroom door, and turned the knob slowly ready to punch the "Lepercaun" if he was ready to get me. My sister stood there, with a simpathetic look on her face came over to me and said "I was worried that you were scared, I just wanted to make sure you were okay." "It's just my sister this whole time that I was listening to?" I felt kind of silly for making such a big deal on who the "lepercaun" actually was. From that day on, watching scary movies hasn't been a problem for me. After my experience of opening the bedroom door and discovering that the scary noises was only my sister. It made me believe that the little things that might seem scary, aren't really scary at all after you find out what they really are. Horror movies are just actors playing a scene, its all made up just for the audiences entertainment. I started to get into watching Horror movies, after I found how intresting they could be.
