Scary movies for the slightly wussy

When I was really little, my favorite movie was "King Kong" --- like, the one from the 50's with the claymation. I've always been a fan of the slightly scary flick. I got away from it in my teenage/college years where I fancied myself a brooding poet and was more into foreign dramas and period romances.

Anyway, back to my movie list. 

These are movies that ARE scary. But I think they are still good for the "slightly wussy" viewer, like myself.

I will post in order of least scariness first ... in case you need to stop ;) 

1.) "The Village" --- I KNOW!! I know. People hate this movie. Poor M. Night. He started off so strong with "The Sixth Sense," and this one was a general bomb with critics. I, for one, really liked it. I know people say the "big reveal" or "surprise" at the end is lame. But I really think it works for the movie. It's all about believing in a scary story to keep the village cut off from the world, but really the world is much more violent and terrifying than any scary story. I like it as a social commentary. And I LOVE the violin solo soundtrack. 

2.) "Psycho" --- this movie was SUCH a shocker when it first came out ...Rich told me recently is was the first movie where a woman was shown in a bathroom ... and flushing a toilet!! There's also something else that happens in the shower. This movie has so many great things going for it. The plot is amazing .. especially if you've never seen it. And since it's older and not super violent and gory, you can definitely handle it if you're not big into scary movies :) 

3.) "The Shining" --- This is another classic flick, but it's definitely a bit higher up on the scare level. I love the creepiness of this one. It's such a mental thriller .. and it really ramps up as the movie goes on. And if you've never seen it, you will get to know about such classic catchphrases as "Herrrre's Johnny!!" and "RED RUM RED RUM."  

4.) "Dawn of the Dead" --- OK. I know I have the 2004 version here. But I'm counting this entry for the original Romero version as well. I think they're both great, but I have to say that the newer one is pretty cool. I was pretty freaked out the first time I saw this, but it's really a fun scary movie ... You feel really connected to the characters and feel like you're running from zombies when they are.

5.) "28 Days Later" ---  I love the first part of this "outbreak" movie so so much. But it definitely goes down from there. But even so, this is definitely my all-time favorite scary movie. The first few scenes of the deserted London and then the first encounter with "the infected" are frightening. 

Any additions???? :) a

The head piece conundrum

It seems obvious.

A no-brainer.

I spend my life making hair accessories for brides, so naturally, I would make a hair piece for my own wedding. Right?

My mom said this:

"No matter what you wear, everyone will ask, "Did you make your hair thing?" 

Would saying "No, actually," be some sort of artistic/DIY failure on my part?

Here's the thing: I've always liked the idea of a wedding veil. Are you shocked?

I don't sell them simply because I'm not that good at making them,
 and other people are better-suited for that job!

SO.

I've been playing around with some tulle yardage for the past week.
Mostly, it's gone into the trash in a fluffy heap.

I did come up with this one:

I like how it doesn't cover my face and get all annoying. But it's a bit too simple for me.

And now this one:

I like the flower detail .. and the veil is still out of the face. But it's maybe a bit bold for me.

I know there's the whole "birdcage veil" trend. But ....eh .....

I've got to be different.

What should I do? The expected crown? A vintage piece? A veil of my own making (or someone else!)
