Free movies? Can it be? Movie Addicts Beware

I absolutely love movies, particularly horror and suspense films. I guess you could say I grew up on them. There's just something about that adrenaline rush you get that is so addicting you want to keep watching even if you're creating permanent indents in the arm of your chair and your heart is racing at an abnormal rate. It's wonderful. It's marvelous. Its a legal and cheap high!

Although I'd love to go see a new movie or even rent a movie every day, the adult in me has somehow guilted me into saving my wallet for essentials (most of the time, we all have our lapses into childlike behavior, right?!). Thus, like most of us who succumb to the adult in us, I have learned to find alternatives to expensive movie theaters and those all too easy to spend all your money at movie rentals.

Here's one alternative for you, and I promise, it's readily available even to those who live in the middle of farmland, pastures, and cow pastures; believe you me. The alternative is Hulu--a website where you can watch movies and even some television shows for free.

I know, I know, with all the scam websites out there, 'free' always comes with a price. However, it's really not that bad. The movies are free to watch, no need for downloading any weird player, no need to sign up for the program, you just pick and watch. There are a few commercials which is a pain, but they have a nice selection of older movies and even some more recent flicks. Plus, they have a good range of movies, from comedy to horror, romance to drama. You name it.

It's a bit hard to search for the film you want, but if you're in the mood for an older movie, it's definitely worth checking out. Watch out though, they do mix the full length ones in with just clips. Click on feature films in order to get the full length ones.

If you're in for an old horror movie, check out "The Rats"--it's a stereotypical suspense film about genetically altered animals that end up terrorizing humans, but pretty good for its age. If you're a horror movie junkie like me, you'll get a kick out of it or want to kick it--the rat that is.
