Hey, what kind of movie are you in the mood for?
I can watch anything, it's up to you.
I'm thinking of watching a scary movie because it is Halloween but I don't want it to make me too uncomfortable.
What is the point in watching a scary movie if you don't want to be scared.
The genre itself if bigger than just being scared. I prefer movies like The Purse and the Cabin the Woods compared to gore like Saw and Hostel. Those really freak me out.
So you're not too scared of thrillers you just don't want to be grossed out.
Exactly. Would you be interested in watching either of those movies. I could even watch Paranormal Activity. That seems to be a scary thrill most people enjoy without the gore.
I was thinking something a little more PG. Something that makes you laugh all while honoring the themes of Halloween.
Do you mean like a children's movie?
Sure. Or at least something animated that can make you feel giddy inside.
I heard Hotel Transylvanie got really good reviews and it has a lot of the Halloween themes without being too terrified.
Yeah! That's a good choice.
What if we found a nice middle ground where it isn't necessarily animated but it is funny and makes you laugh?
What did you have in mind?
How about Casper the friendly ghost?
I think Casper was also pretty widely recognized as a good Halloween movie. It is a little less kid like and animated yes, but still has the humor aspect that I like.
