I don't understand this secret. You don't think you can call yourself a horror fan because horror movies scare you? But that's their job.

I adore horror movies. I eat them with a spoon and I still get scared by plenty of them. In fact, I am happy when they do because it reminds me that as much horror as I watch, there is still something new that can scare me. I am not that jaded.

I think I didn't word this well, and it lacks context - it's not about being scared, it's really only about the "through the fingers" thing. This goes back to a convo I had with another film fan (someone whose opinion I respect a lot) who said that I couldn't really claim I "saw" the movie if I look away at key moments. Like, their argument was, everything in a horror movie builds up to the scary moments, and if you don't look at the payoff, you're cheating yourself out of the experience. But granted, this is someone who mostly watches movies for the artistry (mise en scene, pacing, camera angles, all that), so for them looking away or only seeing parts of it is missing out. Come to think of it, though, this might be the reason why they don't get scared, because they watch it in a more disaffected way than I do.

Now that I re-read all of this, it might be that we were just really pretentious that day, lol. (We're both film students.) The responses in this thread made me feel better about my watching habits :)

Your reaction--completely invested, unironic, absolutely in the moment--is what every auteur wishes.
