I'mlike you, Lissi--I can read books that are scary (though I usually look at
the end first so I don't get too tense) but I don't like to see movies that are
scary. However, watching a video at home isn't so bad, since the screen is
smaller and I can leave the room if a scene bothers me too much; then my
husband can tell me when it's over and I can come back. smile
