Do you get scared watching horror films on your own?

[Pieface]

But it means YOU HAVE AN IMAGINATION - surely this is a good thing?

yes - I don't think it's bad. It's just a touch inconvenient when you're in your mid-twenties, at home and unable to get to sleep because you watched Misery on your own.

i do jump sometimes but I don't get scared watching them

 

[CyberRose]

I do, but the most scared I've been is playing Resident Evil on my own in a dark room!

Whereas I was (am) unable to sleep cos I because I couldn't (can't) stop thinking about the most random things in the world

I actually got quite spooked by RE4!

Can't watch scary films on my own and even I watch them with others I need to watch something fluffy afterwards like a cartoon. I used to keep (till very recently) a copy of the Magic Faraway Tree by my bed for when I felt scared or watched something scary. I could count on 2 hands the horror films I have watched. Just thinking about it is making me tense...

never been scared from a film.

Sorry, director (and no relation). Well creepy. Pretty much anything from Cure onwards in the link below -and he avoids the teenage girl/big hair cliches that most j-horror has been obssesed with since Ringu in favour of much more weighty themes:

He did 'Pulse' didn't he? That was well fucking creepy.

That made me scream out loud when i first played it as well.

Orang Utan, meet Dub, Dub, meet Orang Utan

I don't have this - I may have an imagination but I'm clearly not thinking about life too hard

Yep, one of his best. Re-made horribly in hollywood.

It's not even thinking, it's whirring

 

[DotCommunist]

no. I am unable to suspend my disbelief that far.

I tend to sit munching food during torture/extreme gore scenes as well

 

[Groucho]

I watch horrors on my own by candle light. I don't get scared though.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

i never watch horror films or suspense, thrillers, murder mysteries or anythign else that is remotely scary, i've even jumped at a few kids films
my ex used to 'make' me watch them with him, which was quite fun actually and then hed turn around in an argument and say ridiculous things like "oh yeah but you cant even watch nightmare on elm street"

seriously though i can still remember watching hider in the house when i was little, it freaked me out and still does.
sometimes i get scared when i pull the curtains at night because its really black outside and you cant see anything and i keep imagining that someone will jump up at the window and kill me or something

 

[Madusa]

I like watching horror on my own.. but only when it's still a little bit light outside.
It's better on your own though cos you dont get other people's hilarious 'boo's'! and other tyranical acts to make you shit yourself.

 

[MightyAphrodite]

i get so scared watching scaey films on my own

it will be my downfall, it will lead me to unholy matrimony

but i do like scary films, i like them THAT much

 

[Dhimmi]

Not really, except for one scene in one of the Chinese ghost story films, number two I think, but then it scares the bejesus out of me in a packed room much to the amusement of anyone present.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I don't get scared watching horror movies, period. I used to, then I went travelling for a time by myself.

When I got back, I went to Halloween with some friends. Everyone in the theatre was freaking, all scared. They were all enthusing when they came out. I felt nothing.

 

[Jambooboo]

I habitually watch latenight horror movies hoping to get scared but I rarely do. If any movie genre is likely gonna get me a bit tense it's probably an atmospheric thriller (Blue Velvet, Psycho, Memento, Pi etc).

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Yes, but I still do it. Now I've given up drugs it's the nearest thing to the high-adrenaline feel I used to get from speed.
