Hey yall my name is Jennifer but you might as well just call me Pansy. I will go ahead and volunteer to be the chicken of the class. When we watch these movies, I will be the one hiding under the table. When we read some of these novels, I will be the one calling my mother and having her calm me down about the material. I AM excited to read these horror stories despite my pitiful tolerance for scary anything though.
I do have experience in fantasy and LOVE it. I play all the Harry Potter/LOTR games on sporcle that they have. Witches, vampires, zombies, werewolves, dragons etc. all fascinate me and I have read about them for years. Before I had my 11th birthday, I would pray to get a letter from Hogwarts because I wanted it to be real so badly.....yeah I'm a nerd....
As far as my experience with all things paranormal, I'm severely lacking yet NOT complaining. It fascinates me but I'm not big on being scared. That would be why I have never read horror. When I read, I read to escape my world and relax in another. Scaring myself silly is not my idea of relaxing. I apologize in advance for my opinions in class because they will more than likely be similar to the obnoxious "it wasn't a happy ending so I didn't like it" variety.
I really am excited for this class. I've always wanted to read Steven King and I'm glad I finally have an excuse. Buena suerte con este semestre a todos!

Hahahahaha ok :D
I will admit that I do not particularly care for horror films either. I enjoy the medium much more in either print or video games. In both cases the psychological effect for me is blunted as I gain control over tempo or action. Without control, given a movie's set tempo, we can only wait and watch as the horror takes place before our eyes.
I'm "severely lacking" in paranormal experience myself, Jenn, and like you, I'm not complaining.
My girlfriend and I (now my wife) once lived in a Riverside Drive apartment in Tuscaloosa that we moved into immediately after the previous tenant hanged himself in the apartment. We've agreed ever since that was our best chance to be haunted; we weren't.
