Take this post as me genuinely thinking out loud...

I do not like watching horror movies, whether alone or with people. Although I must confess that it can be more bearable when watching with other people, that was how I watched ALL OF US ARE DEAD. We were about 4 watching it together and we did all the screaming, talking and laughing together. This brings me do the million dollar question - HOW EXACTLY DO PEOPLE WATCH HORROR MOVIES?. Probably I should repharse it by asking "HOW DO PEOPLE GENUINELY ENJOY HORROR MOVIES?". I genuinely wonder how some people find any iota of fun in watching that genre of movie.

I have seen some horror movies and they leave me traumatized for days, if not weeks! Like a kid, I will start feeling there is someone in my room or under my bed that might hurt or just eat me🤣. If I close my eyes after seeing an horror movie, I start seeing and visualizing all those sacry things I saw in the movie. It is even worse when I sleep because I will start having dreams about it as well. Sometimes, all those scary scenes even crawls into my imagination and I will start getting scared unnecessarily.

Can we all agree that those that enjoy watching horror movies are psychopaths?🤣 Because how and why on earth does it not affect you in any way?! They even enjoy it and have fun watching it. How on earth?!

I met a girl that told me that she uses horror movies to relax. I mean, out of all the things a person can use in relaxing in this life, horror movies?! I wanted to be her for few hours and check for myself, the possibility of that happening. Movies like that get me very restless and makes me panic so much, not knowing what to expect next and facing all those scary scenes that makes one jumpy. I can't deal, for real, and it can never be a kind of movie that helps me relax.

It has been a while I have seen horror movies because I deliberately run away from it. I do wish I had the mind to watch without getting scared but then, I can't just do it. You all that can see horror movies without it taking over your thoughts and imagination, you are my hero! I wonder how you do it but then, it is very commendable, can't be me. I wish I could always convince myself that those things are not real and that are all effects and make up, but then, the knowledge hasn't been able to prevent me from getting scared anyways.

Thanks for reading ❤️

I don't like horror series or films, it's not really a genre I like. I have seen several but I don't enjoy them and the idea is to connect with what we are watching and have a good time. 😬😁

Greetings.

When I was younger, if I was seeing a horror movie, I never let my left stay on the ground or stick out of my seat. I would not even sit at the ends of the couch. I liked to sit between people. I was always scared that someone/something would grab me and hurt me. 😂

😂😂😂 I can imagine! I guess you are much better with it now that you are older. For me, I am still the same old me😂 I still get scared every single time and also overthink.

Yes, I'm not as scared as I was.
Maybe you can play one sometime and watch with a child. That way, you learn to pretend to be a brave adult. Cause you can't be doing fear-fear in front of small pikin na🤣😅

😂😂😂

Please, don't let me embarrass myself, let me just pass😂🤲

Courage, partner, you ain't alone in steerin' clear of them horror flicks! It takes a special breed to find joy in such tales, reckon it ain't for all of us. Keep ridin' away from them scares, ain't no shame in takin' care of your own peace of mind. Stick to what brings you calm, and let them horror movies wander on without ya!

Thank youu, I will keep that in mind! I was just honestly wondering how people enjoy it, it's weird😩😂 I wish I could be that 'special breed' as well but for now, I'll just pass
