My favorite movie is “Dumb and Dumber”.
The movie follows the story of Lloyd Christmas, a man who wants to get married and settle down. He is accompanied by his friend Harry Dunne, who acts as his wingman. Despite this, Harry is actually a serial killer and, while he acts as Lloyd’s best friend, it is often more or less a ruse.
But Harry is an unusual serial killer, as he always chooses to go out at night, even though his victims are usually people of whom he knows. So in addition to acting as Lloyd’s friend, Harry is also his best suspect.
At the time I first watched “Dumb and Dumber”, I was only nine, and the movie gave me the same uneasy feeling I still get when I see a movie that I might be too young for.
But as I grew up, and in part thanks to “Dumb and Dumber”, I became a fan of “horror” movies. A lot of the movies I have seen since I was eleven would certainly not qualify as horror movies, and others I might even consider “comedy horror”, but in many ways, most of the movies I saw in my teens were, in fact, horror movies.
At this point I should also mention that I have had a very difficult time getting my teenage years and the decade before into one post, so I have done a separate post on “Horror movies and me”. If you want to read that post, here is a link to it.
