Horror movies

Yep, yep. I found this last night and immediately calmed down a lot. ;-) I was mostly scared because after the movie my mind would start thinking of more close-to-reality things which also scare me, I am like that. The movie in itself annoyed me quite a bit because of how the damned girl tries to save everyone. If she had any sorts of instincts she'd just RUN.

But thanks a lot. :-) This evening I'm apparently going to see ANOTHER scary movie which was even recorded in my own country. So do expect me back tonight, hehe.

Once you've pulled a bloke out of a canal after a boat propeller has taken the top of his head off, picked up a bloke who has been dead on the toilet for 3 months and infested with maggots, picked up a woman who was burnt to death, picked up a bloke who jumped off a motorway bridge and hit by 6 cars before he touched the road, picked up a bloke who emptied both barrels of a shotgun through his head and numerous other lovely sights - horror movies are a bit tame!

Ah... I see your point Mr. Shrek. ;)

I think the Texas Chainsaw Massacure was more gross than scary! Many times I had to look away just so I wouldn't see what leatherface would do to his victims!

Yeah, I was the same. I got very well acquainted with the red lights running down the aisle!

I still haven't seen either versions of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but I'd kind of like to see it just out of curiosity.

I for one love horror flicks.

Pizza isn't too bad, Flashy, but Spaghetti Bolognese conjures up a few images!

Ooh, gruesome. Of death..

Oh yeah, kinda the point.

Tell me, Bob (man, we are getting into the macabre here), what's your most popular kind of coffin?

I have a neighbor who is an undertaker, and he has some...interesting...thoughts on this.

What ideas? *pays attention*

Geeks - the 3 main types of coffin I sold were: a light wood veneer chipboard, mahogany and oak. The veneer was the most popular because it was the cheapest - afterall, all you are going to do is burn it or chuck it in the ground. The handles were bronzed - which means they were plastic, sprayed to look like bronze, and couldn't be used to carry the coffin. This was so that they would melt in a cremator.

All coffins came with pale blue linings for men, pink for the ladies and white for children.

The worst case scenario I had for a funeral was a bloke who had no legs and still weighed 462lbs - his son ordered an oak coffin, which is a heavy bastard for a normal sized adult. Because of his weight, the coffin had to be specially made and looked like the flight deck of a small aircraft carrier - it took 8 of us to carry it on our shoulders and even then we struggled.

Me and Horror films don't mix well,
my mate said I watched Silence of the lambs,
hannibal lecter and dog soldiers okies, but,
there not horror films are they?

What if I hate pink? Am I doomed to an eternity in a candyfloss machine?

Yeah.

I'll have mine orange. I don't care I can't have it. Make it so.

Bob, I think you should post a topic with a bunch of your stories, They're very interesting.

P.S. I want to be a Shrek too... *sniffle*

Wow...that sounds like a right pain in the...

Anyway, I asked because my neighbor undertaker, whose son is one of my best friends, told me that when he's helping people plan their funerals, they always tell him that they want something very simple - just a pine box will do them fine. But then, when the time finally comes around, even if they don't order something ridiculously fancy (gold-plated box hand-carved with their initials in ruby or whatnot), they always get it lead-lined - so that the worms, etc. can't get in, he thinks, because the idea makes them all sick. I thought that was interesting, and I was wondering if it was the same with you.

Actually, it might be an interesting career (though not one I'd work toward) to be the person who applies makeup to corpses for their funerals. At least the clients would never complain about how they looked.
