Reavers scare the hell out of me.

[Masaki-kun]

So I finally BOUGHT the Firefly DVDs (thanks Hulu for sucking), and I want to know just WHY Reavers are so gorram pants-ruiningly, giving me actual nightmares where horror movies just don't give me nightmares, new and fun decorative uses for dismembered body parts TERRIFYING.

Like, I'm sure any of you who look at my recent posts know I started playing Warhammer 40k, and we got a faction called the Dark Eldar. They run around in crazy-ass ships with spikes on them, killing, raping and torturing people all the time. In fact, a lot of their tech runs on torture. And yet they don't make me sweat a damn drop (I mean, there was this one time I lost pretty bad to them, but that's not the same kinda fear!)

I mean, when Reavers run around in crazy-ass ships with spikes on them, killing, raping and torturing people all the time, it just freaks me the hell out and, in that one nightmare I had, it made me lose it WAY harder than anything ever does.

And there's Chaos, with the whole kill, maim, burn, ectera. Not as scary as Reavers.
My girlfriend likes horror movies. I don't, I just prefer action or comedy, cause I can get all pumped. But since she's her, she's got me watching the Ring, and Silent Hill, and Dawn of the Dead (Zombie movies ARE pretty cool). And the Ring didn't scare me. Pyramid Head's a bit frightening. Zombies are a little scary. But they're more "put up your guard and walk real quiet scary, not DEAR GOD SWALLOW A .45 IT'S ALL OVER scary.
I just don't get it.
