I am a 24 year-old female and I love horror. Movies always have, always will. Ghostface is one of my favorite ever, the scream franchise. I enjoy I love so I have been counting down the days for scream seven and when I found out that there was gonna be a fan event I was like I need to go.
My family isn’t really into horror so my original plan was for all of us to go to the movie theaters on Friday and my dad and my cousin my twin and I would go see scream while my mom and sister would go to go but then I was talking to my dad and I was like hey how do you feel about horror movies and he was like I don’t wanna see horror movie and I was like what do you mean you like growing up? You were the one that like pushed horror movies on me and he’s like yeah but I don’t really like them else. OK great you made me like this and now you don’t wanna deal with it.
Then my cousin (34M) lives with us came to do kitchen after my dad and mom went upstairs and I was like how do you feel about horror? how do you feel about scream? and he was like I honestly think it’s very redundant and it doesn’t do anything for the horror genre and I was like what do you mean he’s like yeah it’s really overdone and it’s overhyped and I was like what like what no it isn’t. It’s like it helped and he’s like no it didn’t there’s classics like Friday the 13, I was like scream is a pillar and he’s like no so I didn’t say anything about the movie or fan event
Now today, my mom told talked about it during dinner and he was like well I wanna go and he was like. My cousin said, "You never asked me!" and "Can I still go?"
I told him no. I reminded him that he literally just told me he didn’t like the movies and thought they were redundant. **Here’s the kicker:** This isn’t the first time he’s done this. In the past, I’ve bought tickets for everyone, only for him to say "I don’t like this" at the last minute, forcing me to get a refund.
I told him I already handled the tickets and I’m not re-buying one for someone who openly trashed the movie. Now he thinks I’m being "exclusionary" and "petty" over a movie.
Why can’t your cousin get the ticket himself if he wants to go? He is 30.
I honesty don’t know, he just start to say that I didn’t invite him and stuff :/
Next time tell him it’s a public event, he doesn’t need an invitation.
will do, he called his mom on me…
And what? Ground you? Take away your device? Set a curfew? Do you realise how ridiculous you sound?
YTA simply for being petty. The dude can go if he wants. There is no legitimate reason for you to say no. To think you even have the power over a fully grown adult is AH mentality. Who cares what he think of the movie – it’s just a movie- he simply wants to be included in a family event.
Also I have serious doubts about how old you claim to be. What was that dig at your dad for??
How is your older cousin such a big baby?
“Exclusionary” is eye roll worthy. You aren’t the event organizer greedily refusing to sell to him. You didn’t block the ads on his phone. You’re NTA. You should probably grey rock him about this type of thing. He’s a whiner looking for a reaction. If he wants to go, he can use his two hands or big boy voice to make a reservation.
This is like super stupid. Like I don’t know what the point is. Like how about using other words besides like?
Edit. Like the scream movies are not for everyone, but maybe your cousin wanted to spend time with you.
Not liking something as much as you is not an attack on you personally. Criticizing something you like, regardless how unhealthy your obsession is, is not an attack on you personally. Get a personality and grow up.
Yes YTA here

YTA. This is possibly one of the pettiest things I’ve read on here.
My personal favourite
“OK great you made me like this and now you don’t wanna deal with it.”
Girlll, grow up lol. You’re 24 and he’s 34 you’re both acting like teenagers.. at best.
Tell him if he wants to come he can get a ticket from _enter box office/website_.
Really doesn’t need to be this deep. Use your words, you’re a big girl.
She sounds like she’s 14, not 24.
