So, I don't like horror movies. Okay? I don't. They scare me and I'm not good at being scared. I don't like things that scare me. I'm one of those people. I don't see horror movies very often. I don't like things that are gross. I kind of try to stay away from those things. But in 2003, my brother and I decided to go to the movies and see a terrifying horror movie.
Now, I'm gonna tell you the name of this movie, but I want you to remember a few things. It was a long time ago, and I wasn't always a priest. I also want to note before I tell you about this movie, I am not recommending this movie to you. So don't leave church and be like, my priest said I should watch this movie.
No, I didn't. Okay. But in 2003, my brother and I walked into the movie theater and saw a movie called House of a Thousand Corpses. It was horrifying. It was disgusting. It was terrible. I was overwhelmed. I was grabbing onto my brother's hands. I was closing my eyes. I was shrieking and screaming.
At one point, I was so overwhelmed I even had to laugh, not 'cause it was funny, but I didn't know what else to do with my body. I looked over at my brother at one point and said, I have to go to the bathroom. And he said, why are you telling me? And I said, because I don't want to go alone. I was a grown, I was in my twenties, y'all.
I was not 10 years old. And he goes, neither do I. And we got up together and went to the bathroom, and then we went back.
