HOW TO WATCH HORROR MOVIES IF YOU’RE TOO SCARED TO WATCH HORROR MOVIES

What if you’re curious about watching a horror movie, but you’re too afraid to watch it? A writer named Karisa Langlo has some suggestions:
– You can read the entire plot summary by pulling up the movie on Wikipedia or TheMovieSpoiler.com. If you know what’s coming, you’ll know when not to look.
– There are podcasts like All Spoiler Recap, Dead Meat and Found Flix which discuss the films, and will put you in the mindset to watch the movie without getting emotionally involved in the horror, but you can appreciate the technical aspect and production values (* …of someone being eviscerated.).
– A website called Does the Dog Die? lists any “triggers and warnings” for every movie. You can search to see if the movie has simple blood to all-out gore, torture, cannibalism, nudity… even whether a pet gets killed. No one likes to see the dog die.
– A website called Where’s the Jump lists the times in the movie when the jump scares happen.
– Turn the sound down, or completely off. Sudden loud noises are a staple of horror movies.
– Watch the movie during the day, with the blinds open and all the lights on. It’s less scary that way.
* – Just in case, get some adult diapers.
* – Hit up a friend for some anti-anxiety meds.
* – Watch the movie backwards. A knife being pulled out of someone and the wound healing instantly and the person being perfectly fine is a good thing.
* I’d like two websites: One would be called “Is There Dancing In The Kitchen?” and the other “When’s The Vomit?” Every movie for the past ten years has a ‘dancing in the kitchen’ scene and a vomit scene. Every damn one.
* PHONE TOPIC: Do you have a trick for not being scared at horror movies? What movie was too intense for you, and you had to walk out of turn it off?
