Everything I learned about Horror, I learned from her

My passion for Horror comes from this pic. It's from the infamous book, Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark, a book that I'm afraid of, but I can't help but to look through from time to time.

In the 3rd grade, I remember seeing this pic and being completely flooded with fear. I was truly frighten by her and yet, intrigued with the emotions I was forced to experience. I began to feel the horror, the thrill, and excitement all at once. When my emotions faded, I started to look deeper at my fears and closely at myself. I know it's a lot for a 3rd grader, but it was also the time HBO was the deal and Slasher movies were everywhere.

Every time I saw this pic, I saw something new. For 20 plus years, I still get something new from this pic. The ghost girl really honed my appreciation for fear and things that go bump in the night.

From this pic, I get the a full pass to my fears and excitement for the unknown.
