I was too afraid someone would step on my foot and my back was killing me from walking offset. <br /><br />We have a fancy theater here in Dallas that has reclining seating. Tickets are $20-25 each though.

None of them are die hard horror/thriller fans that like you, I am too. I think I would like to see it since they liked it but just not expect too much of it and then I won't be disappointed lol. I hate when a move is hyped so much that it's now what I thought. My friend did give something away which I hate but not enought to totally spoil it.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-75959052897818645242011-02-21T10:48:43.018-06:002011-02-21T10:48:43.018-06:00Terri - Rolling around in your books is the bomb! ...Terri - Rolling around in your books is the bomb!

Atchison has a haunted tour every fall and they usually get one of the houses on the tour to open for visitors afterward. I got some orb pictures, but I'm not sure where they went. <br /><br />You know what would be cool?

I wasn't interested in Black Swan, but for some reason I did track down spoilers for it and that satisfied any and all curiosity I'll probably ever have about the film. :)Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13934289345709450176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-42921122194673731532011-02-21T09:43:30.750-06:002011-02-21T09:43:30.750-06:00The cover is great.

This will definitely be one I pick up. <br /><br />I was almost Olivia. *grin* Sort of.<br /><br />I had plans to rent the Sallie House (Sightings, Most Haunted Places, Heartland Ghost) while I wrote my first novel length horror piece. But the romance bug bit me harder. <br /><br />Black Swan was on my to watch list, but eh. If it didn't move you, I'll save my quarters for Red Riding Hood.
