Letter To The Editor: My “Creep” Obsessed Roommate Keeps Asking Me To Film Her

Dear The Mugdown,

My roommate Angela has been on a horror movie kick for the past few weeks. I didn’t think anything of it at first because she was watching all her usual suspects like “Scary Movie 3” and “Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.” Last Friday night, she decided she wanted to “branch out,” and she started watching “Creep” on the TV in our living room. I’m not a huge horror buff, but I watched that movie in high school and it gave me nightmares for a MONTH.

I told Angela that I was worried she couldn’t handle a movie that terrifying, and I think I screwed up there because she called me a wimp and made fun of me for wanting to go up to my room. I figured I’d stay with her for her inevitable breakdown.

I swear to God, I’ve never seen her this locked in on anything in my entire life. She doesn’t pay great attention in class, but during that one scene where the camera gets picked up by Aaron’s bed, I didn’t see her blink once. I honestly think something broke inside her after that, because she wouldn’t say another word for the rest of the night.

On Tuesday, she came home with a brand-new video camera and asked me if I wanted to help her film a vlog for a project in her social media class. Thankfully, I’ve got a model I’m working on for my architecture studio, so I told her a quick lie about heading to Langford and drove over to my boyfriend’s house so I could sleep there.

It’s gotten to the point where I can’t set foot in our apartment without Angela cornering me and begging me to film her. I hit my breaking point when I saw an ax in her room yesterday. I KNOW this bitch isn’t in Bonfire, so I packed a bunch of stuff in my backpack and ran out the door. 

I’ve basically moved into my boyfriend’s apartment now, and I filed a restraining order against Angela, but I’m just worried she’ll move on to someone else. Please post this and tell people not to open any DMs from @angie_howard286 or sit by themselves on the benches in Aggie Park..
