Auuuuuuggghhhhh! It's Cabin by the Lake on SciFi, and I must watch it.

As the title says, Cabin By the Lake is just coming on SciFi, and I just have to watch it, even though (as I've already said) it embarrassingly scares the beejeezus out of me.

It stars the creepily creepy Judd Nelson as a guy writing a horror movie screenplay about a psychopath who kidnapped girls and dropped them into a lake with a nice block attached to their feet, and then, later, he'd put on his scuba gear and go and visit his "garden". Except he was actually doing the stuff he was writing about. It completely freaked me out. And now, when I catch the odd rerun of Suddenly Susan on TV, I'm like, "Look out! Don't work with Judd Nelson! He'll put you in his creepy room and then he'll DROP YOU IN THE LAKE!" And when I see The Breakfast Club, I'm like, "Look out! Don't be in detention with Judd Nelson! He'll put you in his creepy room and then he'll DROP YOU IN THE LAKE!" And when I see St. Elmo's Fire, I'm like, "Look out! Don't come of age with Judd Nelson! He'll put you in his creepy room and then he'll DROP YOU IN THE LAKE!" Wait, maybe he wasn't in St. Elmo's Fire. Oh well, you get the idea.

Anyway, I force myself to buy and watch stuff that scares me. My philosophy is that maybe it will lose its effect if I own it or if I watch it five times. You know? I just bought the Urban Legend DVD, which scared me for about six months after I saw it whenever I would think about it. I still check my backseat multiple times before I start driving, even though there's not enough room back there for someone to hide (unless it was a gnome, a troll, a munchkin or an almost-midget.) That movie really freaked me out. Ask Scott about my stupid freak-out over Urban Legend, and then watch as he rolls his eyes completely back into his head.

Another DVD that I bought recently that creeped me the heck out was Tales from the Darkside: The Movie. I would buy Twilight Zone: The Movie to try to conquer my fear of picking up a hitch-hiking Dan Akyroyd ("You wanna see something REALLY scary??") but it's not on DVD. Oh well.
