"Ghost stories really scare me. I have such a big imagination that after I watch a horror movie like 'The Grudge', I look in the corners of my room for the next two days"
About this Quote
The specificity does the cultural work. Name-checking The Grudge anchors the fear in a particular era of mainstream horror - a mid-2000s moment when J-horror remakes made dread feel domestic: hallways, bedrooms, corners. Her image of “looking in the corners of my room for the next two days” pulls the terror out of the theater and into the private space where young fans actually live. It’s also a clean little performance of authenticity: not nightmares or trauma, just a two-day hangover of vigilance. Contained. Marketable.
Subtextually, it’s an anecdote that negotiates femininity in celebrity culture. She’s allowed to be scared, even hyper-alert, as long as it’s framed as imagination, not instability. The corners aren’t just where monsters hide; they’re where a public persona meets private anxiety. Hudgens turns that collision into an endearing mini-story, proving how contemporary fame often runs on a simple exchange: reveal a small fear, earn a lot of trust.
