I absolutly cant watch scary movies! They get into my head. For example i live in a wooded area and when i get out of my car to go into the house I run like a mad woman to the front door and i can have a suitcase, backpack, shopping bags, and I still manage to just grab them all and run. But i am also italian and we only take one trip into the house anyways. Leave no baggage behind!!

Or i call up my momma and she waits at the door for me and grabs the suitcase.

Also i hate those scary legends people tell. Like the one about the guy who was in the back seat of the car and killed the girl as soon as she stopped the car. I had balloons in my back seat of my car for a birthday party one night and everytime i looked into my rearveiw mirror i jumped a mile because i thought the balloon was a head. Funny thing is i put the balloons in the backseat but i still jumped at least 4-5 times on a 12 mile ride.

Hi Ellen,

I can't believe you wrote about horror movies today! Yesterday when I stopped by Kyle Hickok's CaringBridge site to leave my daily message, I talked about movies! I love, love, love a good horror movie! My favorite of the horror movies are all the come back to life zombies that eat people! They are the only horror movies that give me nightmares! Also Michael Myers from the Halloween movies scares the dickens out of me too! Jason, Freddy and the rest just don't make me jump out of my seat like the flesh eating zombies and Michael!

Thanks for all the laughs Ellen!

All my best to you,

Kelley Wilson

I remember a movie I saw when I was like 10 or so. There were these creepy things that lived under the bed and when the person went to sleep, the creepy things attacked. I remember that night very distinctly because I was so petrified to fall asleep and was convinced the nightmare was under my bed. I was even too scared to look to make sure.
Since then I have tried to avoid scary movies all together. I want a good laugh or a good cry. The days of "Don't bother washing those pants; just burn 'em," are over!

hi Ellen!
my thoughts on scary movies: why do the women always fall when they are running away? women know how to run.
why doesnt anyone ever turn on the lights when they are investigating the noise they just heard in their house?
and lastly, at the end of the movie, after the good guy kills the killer, why does he always turn his back, close his eyes, kiss the girl, and relax before he makes absolutely certain the killer is actually dead? it's always a deadly mistake to underestimate the dead killer.

keep 'em comin' Ellen!

I hate how most scary movies depickt women as stupid morons, and the guys the heroes. For once i wanna see the guy act like a wimp and run up the stairs screaming his little head off, and the women kick some arse! We can out think any twit with a knife, ax or gun.
I love horror movies, they have the greatest plots. I've seen all the "saw" movies, they were great... totally gross, but awesome.!!

hello, i would just like to get some politicing out of my system and let people know what goes on in this country to degrade us, as humans,mothers,females, aaah and oh yeah all of us "Family" .. in some parts if a person is down on their luck or a low part of our mania, no drugs, no alcohol,,, that if we go and apply for help from a local govt. agency to have decenct housing for our families... Get this we are told we have to give up our children and our rights and have to go live in a homeless shelter in order to receive help How Crazy is that!!!!!! Arent we made to feel bad enough without being humiliated and stripped of our very basic rights and our dignity and refusinf to give up our dignity and pride we are being punished for it it's almost like a witch hut, straight from the days of Salem when the women and children are being hurt to keep us quite and bound those women then went through that for at least two reasons children being molested and the woman spoke out about it when they were to keep their mouths shut, and the second reason was beccause we could make it on our own and live off of the land using natural cures and foods.... so i say to everyone wake up stop letting us good women take a hit for the team thats not the game of life i want we are all equal in the eyes of our maker ,,, yeah i am raring on this because it has come home really hard,,,, also Melissa Etherridge stole my words on her Awakeing Concert !!!!!! But why cant we all just get along and play nice and love humanity thanks Beth

Why do dogs have to die, my dog Monster was neutered on 3/25/08, and he died the vet will not
be responible for his death, how can I make him pay my hospital bill, Monster was in the hospital for 4 days before he died, my mail man said, if you did that to me a would die too. So I guess I killed my dog.

Hey, Ellen I was watching today Fridays show and you did the Mashmellow game. I think You need to make the game fairer to the short people and have a three or four inch floor brought in for them, Or lower the mashmellows, or make the people that play one tall and one short. You or whom ever put the two short girls together and the two taller one on the other team. I know it funny to watch the short girls try but it not fair, they try so hard. What do they do in the show in Asia. They have lots of short people there.

I like scary movies to a point. If its toooo scary .. I get toooo scared and I don't like to be scared... but if its scary for a few clips then I'm ok... like it goes from scary to normal life.

Sci-Fi has some good scary movies ... big bug movies!!! Those are all the same too!!!! theirs always some big bug!!! LOL

I remember "The Blob" That was cool!!!! I also like to hear "Chicken Heart" from Bill Cosby!!! He does really good sound affects!

Dear Dottie Dearest, BRAVO! Sincerely, Sphoon

Oh, Ellen!

When I read your thoughts on scary movies I had to laugh! Much of what you wrote echos my thoughts.

But Ellen, when you were a kid, did you do the cover your eyes thing? You know where you put your hands over your face but spread your fingers so you can still see the horror?

Well, that's what my sister and I would do as kids, way back when. But here's the best part, my sister still does it today, at 48 years old! LOL It is so funny to watch her watch the scary movie. That's a show in itself!

And what's up with all the mumbling? Just what is it that Jason is saying in all those Friday the 13th movies? Cathy and I have come to the conclusion he is saying " get, get, get, out, out ,out". Maybe yes maybe no?

So what's your thought on that?

We Carr's LOVE YOU ELLEN! We TIVO you everyday!

As Gladys would say, "keep on, keepin' on"!

Ellen,

I was off work today and wanted so much to see Amanda O. We were interrupted in FL by a Newsflash.

Anyway, My daughter was the one that called me and told me Amanda was going to be on your show today. She knows I really like Amanda. My daughter and I finally did get to see the last few minuntes of your show, and did get to watch and hear Amanda sing. She was great!

However, I wanted to say to Amanda, I love her voice and her style because she is different and refreshing and she has her own style. I would love to see her be successful and for her not to give up.

I would also love for her to sing some Elvis Presley songs. Along with some other type of melodies. I think she could be the First Amanda (her own style) female Elvis. I was hoping, that on American Idol they would do some Elvis songs, instead of the Beattles.

Tell Amanda, this is from a Senior Citizen and a Junior Citizen at heart and love her voice and style. I was rooting for her on American Idol and recognized her talent. Sorry that she was voted off the show.

It is like you said Ellen, she needs a good agent. I hope you can help her out, because I would hate to see her talent wasted.

Ellen, I love your show and try to watch it whenever I can. Your a sweetie.

Tell Amanda, it is all about Timing and Good Luck. Also, so glad she received the recognition and exposure on your show. She just needs some right connections. Sounds like she is on her way. I hope so.

Fondly,

Senior Citizen
(Junior at Heart)

P. S. Also, I would buy her Music.

omg!!lol!!u r too funny1

OMG! I was laughing so hard! It's funny cuz it's true. And has anyone noticed that the characters always go TOWARD the the scary noise? I scream "No! Stop! Don't go toward the noise, get the heck out of there FOOL!" But in real life I guess we always do try to find the source of the noise. I think we see ourselves as invincable crime-fighters, and when we find out it was just the ginormous tree branch hitting the window, we're disappointed cuz now we can't use our super-sleek-crime-fighting-ninja skills on the bad guy. And then you can't even tell the story to anyone cuz that would be embarassing... "Why are you so tired?" "Oh, uh, well at like 3 this morning I heard this awful banging downstairs, so I grabbed my bat, Charlie's Angel-ed it down the steps with the stealth of James Bond, did a back-flip through the kitchen,aaaaaaaaaaand then it was just a tree branch... that reminds me I should have that cut down... you'd think after this has happened 20 or so times, I would remember. Anyway, I couldn't sleep after that just in case it was a serial killer trying to trick me into false security only to chop me up once I fall back to sleep." LOL.

STILL have NOT received my Zooey tshirt or Citizen of Humanity Jeans. Has anyone else?

Yes, why is it that when women are getting chased by men the run up stairs? Then they get trapped! All scary movies are the same, but I love them. Im 13, and thats like all I watch. But I like comedies, too. I love to laugh and thats why I absolutely LOVE your show. It puts a smile on my face everyday. I have my Mom record it while I'm at school so I can see the whole thing when I come home. :)
Love Yah, Ellen!
