10 Normal Things That Movies Have Made Terrifying

Used Books – The Number 23

The Number 23 focuses on numerology obsessions and being oddly involved with, yet slowly reading, a little known book. Numerology doesn’t scare me much, but never again will I buy a book I haven’t heard of before.

Of course I’m realistic and realize the odds of me writing a book and having no memory of it are pretty slim, but there’s always a chance. A small chance, but it’s there nonetheless. I mean I am writer, I could’ve written some messed up story fictionalizing a series of murders I committed in a former life, and if I did, I definitely don’t want to know about it.

The fact I can’t read an obscure used book now really upsets me. I love literature, and I love being able to find something that isn’t famous but is still excellent. Now the undervalued books of the world will forever remain undervalued in terms of my appreciation.

So thanks Jim Carrey, I’ll never read another used book unless it’s written by someone as famous as Twain or Dickens. You’ve officially stopped my literary exploration.

So what do you think? Will you be able to look at the things discussed the same way? What’s something silly you’re terrified of thanks to a film? Let us know in the comments!
