Husband was looking for a scary alien movie - didn't care that I am deathly afraid of aliens (and the rule of the house is, if I have the laptop he gets the remote...I was blogging about my fabulously newly painted bedroom) ....
My dad a long time ago scared the shit out of me after a friend and I watched Are You Afraid of the Dark on Nickelodeon... Catherine and I convinced ourselves that we saw alien spaceships outside in the night sky (no it was just us blinking our eyes and seeing those white specs). So my wonderful dad sent us off to bed and told us to go to sleep. 5 minutes later he was waving flashlights out side my bedroom window like a spaceship had landed.... We ran out of that room screaming our heads off. Still freaked out to this day. Thank you dad. Gold Star in parenting for you.
Anyways, back to my lovely husband. He went and rented Monsters... and was expecting something like War of the Worlds or Aliens. Nope, the so called aliens looked like Elephants and it turned out to be a love story with no blood and guts or anal probes.
The last scene was the two main characters finally kissing as the army comes and saves them from the "infected" area aka. Mexico. The end. Bryan was pissed, and I made it through the movie just fine. No nightmares here.
OMG, I remember that and how FREAKED out we were! I can still see his face in the creepy light of the flashlight! I always loved our Friday nights and Are You Afraid of the Dark. That damn clown/fun house one was the freakiest! BTW, I just saw that alien movie Paul and while not the best movie, it was definitely an alien movie that I could keep my eyes open to the whole time. :)
