&nbsp;

I thought of which <del>sucker</del> friend would join me in this nonsense.  The Buckeye Who Prefers to Remain Anonymous was game.

&nbsp;

I then flashbacked to Halloween 2010 when I was double dog dared to see <em>Paranormal Activity 56</em>.  Or was it just <em>Paranormal Activity 6</em>?  Or maybe it was <em>Paranormal Activity 2</em>.

&nbsp;

Whichever one it was, I was so creeped out when I returned home from the movie that I promptly found the contemporary Christian radio station on my TV and blared Jesus throughout my house.

&nbsp;

I decided right then and there that I would NEVER watch a scary movie again.

&nbsp;

But since my memory is not the best, I forgot all about my solemn and scaredy cat vow.  Until the morning of Halloween 2012.

&nbsp;

I called The Buckeye Who Prefers to Remain Anonymous.

&nbsp;

"Listen.  I know I said that I wanted to get in touch with my inner 16 year-old and see <em>Freddy and Jason Take Manhattan...Again </em>but . . . . "

&nbsp;

The Buckeye surmised, "You've chickened out?"

&nbsp;

"Ummm....My inner 5 year-old wants to come out and play instead!  She requests <em>Frankenweenie</em>.  Please."

&nbsp;

The Buckeye sounded confused.  "Isn't that a children's movie?"

&nbsp;

"She's 5!  And she asked nicely."

&nbsp;

"O.k."

&nbsp;

The Buckeye Who Prefers to Remain Anonymous showed up on Halloween Night with an illegal stash of movie candy:  Sour Patch Kids, Mike and Ikes and Raisenettes.  Purchasing candy at the movie theatre is so much more expensive than when we were really 5.

&nbsp;

Two enthusiastic thumbs up.  Waaaaayyyyyyy up!

&nbsp;

100% fresh tomatoes!

&nbsp;

A must-see for dog lovers!

&nbsp;

Take tissues!  Lots and lots of tissues!

&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: medium; color: #ff6600;"><strong>Do not ignore my tissue warning!  Trust me on this one.</strong></span>

&nbsp;

You know those movies when your throat hurts from trying to hold back the sobs because you don't want to embarrass yourself in public?  Even though that "public" is sparsely populated with . . . . oh . . . . 5 or 6 kids and their parents because the rest of the nation is Trick or Treating?

&nbsp;

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOVIES!!!!!

&nbsp;

Thankfully, <em>Frankenweenie</em> is for 5 year-olds and Inner 5 year-olds which assures blessed relief by the time the credits roll.

&nbsp;

But you may need to stay through the very end of the credits to fully regain composure.

&nbsp;

At least that's what The Buckeye and I had to do.

What was your movie pic this past Halloween?

&nbsp;

Would you rather be 16 again or 5?
