A List of 26 of the Scariest Movies Ever Made

April 7th, 2011 by admin under movies. No Comments.

It takes a lot these days for a horror movie to scare me, which is so surprising to me because horror movies used to scare the crap out of me when I was younger. I don’t know why I loved horror movies SO much when I was a child, because I had a really hard time sleeping in the dark after the scary movies were over. Every weekend my two best friends and I would rent one of the Halloweens or Friday the 13th movies, pop some popcorn, turn off the lights, cuddle under a blanket and turn it on. My spot was always in the middle of the girls and everyone HAD to stay awake so I was sure not to be watching such a scary movie alone. Then afterwards, I would be scared for days from these movies that I subjected myself to. However, lately, I find it really hard to find a movie that has been able to actually scare me. I guess since I have grown up and matured I have realized that the things I was most scared of in these movies is much less likely to happen to me in real life. Just enjoy the scare and then move on. I guess it is the movies that are about true events that really give me a chill. Due to the fact that there aren’t very many scary movies out there today that are truly scary, I have decided to provide you with a list of the movies that I think are the scariest ones on the market. These are movies that really and truly scare the crap out of me:

Music Made in Japan

August 29th, 2010 by admin under music. No Comments.

THE origins of traditional Japanese music reach back more than a thousand years. Included are classical or refined music, chamber music, theater, folk and festival music, as well as a host of vocal forms. This treasury of music was passed on from generation to generation without the help of musical scores.

Between the third and fifth centuries C.E., Buddhist missionary priests came to Japan to spread their views. The chants and background music associated with their religion gradually merged with the Shinto traditional music, forming a basis for nearly all native Japanese music.
