I've been a gamer for awhile, I got my first Playstation for Christmas in 1998. I have always been a fan of horror, my parents still laugh to this day that my favorite movie as a kid was Child's Play. They would bring me to the video rental store and I wanted to rent that movie EVERY time we went, while my sister picked out a Barney tape or something like that.
So for some reason scary movies didn't scare me, I found them fascinating. I considered myself immune to all things horror, I laughed at adults that would tell me "That's too scary for children". For my birthday I got to pick out two new video games. This is when I discovered that they made horror video games! You can imagine how excited I was. I convinced my parents to let me get them. I got Alone In the Dark: The New Nightmare, and Silent Hill.
To my surprise, I was actually terrified of playing them, even in broad daylight. So scared in fact that I gave up on playing Alone In The Dark and gave it to my cousin who was like 10 years older than me. But there was something about Silent Hill that I loved. It terrified me, but I found the whole world so interesting that I couldn't bare to give it away. I kept the game, but didn't play it again until a few years later. I can remember my little heart beating like crazy in my 12-13 year old chest. Silent Hill was the first thing I was ever scared of but fascinated by at the same time.
That is why I can't wait for this house. I can't remember ever being this excited and nervous about a house. I'm sure other people have this feeling when going into a house they know if full of something they're scared of (clowns, the dark, etc..) but I don't have any of those fears. When in the queue there will be a little 12 year old inside me digging her heels into the dirt, screaming to not go in. I'm sure my heart will race and I will get anxious. i can't wait
