I HATE THESE WOMEN Part 1

Aku suka filem seram. I think my kind of sport is showing filem seram kat member2 dan ketawa bila diorang menjerit. However, despite the fact that biasanya aku tak mudah ditakutkan dengan watak2 klise filem seram (seriously, tak payah kot nak melambai2 ke depan sambil bergerak ke tepi macam ketam... udah basi, tau nggak?), I have my exemptions.

These are some scary characters yang orang lain tak paham kenapa aku mesti takut, tapi aku still takut. You see, I have my reasons why I hate them with all my guts.

The crazy Rattle Rattle lady

Aku bennnnnci gila dengan pompuan ni.
A. Sebab she's the epitome of a nightmare.
Sometimes bila kita tidor and dalam mimpi kita, we saw some weird scary looking thing and then right then and there in that dream kita terpiker, "Oh, shit. She is going to chase me. I just know it. This ain't a dream. this is a nightmare" and lepas kita piker je, menda pelik tu akan kejar kita sampai la kita terbangun dari tidur, all sweaty and scared beyond all reason. Yes, she is that. And since I always have those kind of nightmare, she freaks the hell out of me. See that face. How can you not be freaked out by that?
B. Her famous words is "Just because."
Dalam citer ni, bila mangsa dia tanya dia kenapa dia asik kejar pompuan tu, dia jawab "Just because." I frikken hate these kind of ghosts. I hate something yang tak ada reason. Anything or anybody that does things for no reason is scarier than murderers with intention. That is why for me, the Columbine shooting is scarier than let's say, Ed Gein, and the Suicide Club in Japan is scarier than wars.

Saeki Kayako

I hate crawling ghosts. Aku rasa aku dah selalu citer benda ni. Tapi masa aku kecik2 dulu, aku pernah demam panas. Masa tengah demam tu, aku delirious and saw kartun gambar penagih dadah baju belang2 lukisan IMUDA crawling down tannga rumah aku. Since then, I hate things that crawls... except babies. Saeki Kayako adalah one of the prominent figures in the scary crawling business. =_=
Tapi sekarang kalau ada lagi hantu yang merangkak, aku akan tutup TV. Bukan sebab takut, tapi sebab menyampah tengok copycats.

The grinning crazy girl in Insidious

Other than crawling creepy things, aku juga benci satu perbuatan ini. MENYERINGAI. Aku tak suka perkataan menyeringai dan apa saja yang menyeringai. Tersengih is just tersengih. Tapi menyeringai is a kind of a sadistic version of tersengih. The thing about grinning is... it means anything. A frown means you're doing something from anger. A grin means you're doing something out of craziness. See that face? She might not just shoot you. She may shoot you, then stab you with a screwdriver, set your cat on fire, skin you alive and make a purse out of it. And then sit down with your corpse and watch WHEEL OF FORTUNE on TV.
Aku tak kisah tengok INSIDIOUS banyak2 kali. Tapi aku tak akan pandang bahagian this girl and her other crazy grinning twin sister. Nnnnope.

The ghost lady looking for her kid

Aku masih membenci adik aku sebab made me watch/read this. You see, filem hantu Korea tak menakutkan, malah menjengkelkan (aku tengok THE CAT dan THE TALE OF TWO SISTERS sampai tertido). But this webtoon.....
A story. Masa aku kat SMKAKS dulu, one night, aku terjaga dari tidur and saw this one girl datang ke arah antara katil aku dan junior bilik aku si Arima dalam gelap. Rupa dia macam Arima, except the fact that masa tu Arima tengah tidur kat katil sebelah aku. Selain itu jugeeee, dia pakai baju tidur yang sama dengan Arima, seluar tidor yang sama dengan Arima dan bertocang macam Arima. Tapi bezanya, tocangnya menegak, as if something invisible is holding it behind her. Dia datang dekat dengan Arima dan dengan suara yang sama macam Arima, she said, "Arima, temankan kita pergi toilet."
Masa tu, aku terfikir, "Kalau Arima tak bangun-bangun, mesti dia akan pusing ke arah aku dan ajak aku pulak pergi toilet. Baik aku pura2 tidor." So, dengan perlahan2, aku pusingkan badan aku ke arah lain.
So, in this webtoon, the ghost tanya the girl "Kau nampak anak aku tak?". Budak pompuan yang ketakutan tu just main tuding je jari dia ke arah mana tah dan hantu tu pergi ke arah yang ditunjukkan. Before the scariest shit occurred yang membuatkan aku terlompat dari sofa, the girl was thinking one thing. "Kalau benda tu tak jumpa anak dia, mesti dia akan datang balik kat aku. Baik aku lari."
The same dialogue in that webtoon reminded me of what I was thinking back in 1999 when I was in dorm 34 di ASPURI, SMKAKS - when that Arima-looking girl was asking Arima untuk temankan dia pergi toilet.

The Visitor bloody woman

She is not THAT scary sebenarnya. Aku just agak overwhelmed by the fact that bentuk rumah budak perempuan yang diganggunya macam rumah aku. Bila lokasi cerita hantu tu menyerupai bentuk rumah anda, you know you are going to think that THAT is going to happen at your own house too.
Stupid bloody woman.
