home theater components, lcd hdtvMy girlfriend is obsessed with the many ghost and haunted countdown shows on TV. Last night, after the sun went down, we saw one such show flipping through the channels. Right after she clicked it and wrapped up in a blanket, I turned off all the lights. The scene got a little bit spookier with the only light coming from the LCD HDTV. These sort of shows aren’t exactly scary to me. It would be scary to be one of the hosts walking around a decrepit, abandoned mental institution in the middle of the forest but seeing someone do it with night vision just doesn’t do it for me.

 My girlfriend is the total opposite. I turned up the home theater components as the host started saying he felt a presence. Booom. One of the metal doors somewhere off in the dark slammed shut and my girlfriend jumped. We both started laughing. The home theater components make for a sound we can feel which for scary shows in nothing but good times. Nothing like a big scare to get the blood pumping.
