My sister convinced me to watch Zodiac with her, and it wasn't too bad considering the topic, but it was pretty damn creepy, so now I'm on here to relieve the scariness tension.

What movies have freaked you out, and what did you do to not be freaked out anymore? I really don't want nightmares tonight.

Scary movies in general get me because I'm kind of a wuss, but distraction works best for me. I tend to go for pictures of cute animals and stuff, but feel free to replace that with something of your choosing. Maybe go to bed with some comforting music on, too, tonight; it'll cover up noises might otherwise startle you and give you something else to think about.

Anything with zombies. Zombies scare the fuck out of me. Even Thriller zombies.

+1

For some reason the idea of zombies just really wigs me out. If anything like a zombie apocalypse were to really happen, I would just kill myself. No becoming a badass zombie killer for me. I wouldn't even try. I can't stand the idea of some rotting, shambling creature killing me by ripping me apart with its teeth

I think it is because with most monsters you either die or become that monster (while still essentially being yourself). But not with zombies. You are this living dead thing. Does it have consciousness? And you are now a danger to your loved ones.

I am exactly the same and all my friends make fun of me for it. I guess I just can't convey the existential horror I feel at the thought of facing an enemy that can't really be overcome, and despite its slowness and apparent vulnerability will just keep coming and if it falls there are ten more in its place. And worse, most zombie fiction posits a zombie apocalypse, where there is literally nowhere on Earth to run to or hide from the zombies because they are everywhere and constantly spreading and increasing their ranks. I mean, at that point why would you even bother going all Badass Zombie Killer? You'd only be prolonging your own fear and suffering.

Same here. It's awkward, because I'm weirdly phobic of zombies, but I kind of love the zombie-survival genre.

For me, it's a combination of the fact that they never rest, never get distracted or afraid or tired, can't be reasoned with or intimidated, and will just keep coming for you no matter what -- and the infection factor. Things that can infect you are DNW for me.

Dear gods, same here. Certain zombies I can stand, like Reg Shoe from Discworld or Fido from the film of the same name (and even that movie freaked me out a little), but I had nightmares for months after seeing Resident Evil at age 16 (I wasn't sure I wanted to see it to begin with, but my then-girlfriend insisted), and was a little jumpier than usual even long after the nightmares stopped. Stupidly enough, three years later I thought I was completely over all of that and watched Shaun of the Dead. Turns out I was not over all of that.

TL;DR: I am a total wuss when it comes to zombies and gore.

When I was like 13 or 14, I watched Ju-On: The Grudge and that shit freaked me out. It was really the first horror film I had watched and I was terrified.

I swear to God, I stayed up till like 3 in the morning, which is when I fell asleep with the light on, sitting up on my bed, clutching a baseball bat.

Most scary movies I watch freak me out because I'm a scaredy cat. LOL Most recently, I went with my best friend to watch "The Conjuring", which really scared the crap out of me, and we went to go watch "Pacific Rim" immediately after so I was too excited over "Pacific Rim" to be afraid of "The Conjuring".

In general, when I start thinking about things that scare me, I distract myself by watching or doing something fun. Either watch a few eps of "The Office" or play a board game with my family.

Zodiac! I love that movie.

I think the scariest movie I've ever seen was Beyond the Black Rainbow, which I also love.

...I like being freaked, though. So I don't know how to resolve that.

I am such a baby when it comes to scary movies, I actually had to sleep with the TV on for a night or two after my friend dragged me to see The Strangers. :/

Me too. I had a pillow to cover my face and my sister turned off the sound when I got scared.

That makes me feel a lot better, actually. I saw it in theaters and there were kids half my age laughing through the whole thing while I was just like "makeitstopmakeitstopmakeitstop".

Scary movies never scare me, but gross out horror films like Saw make me cringe so badly.
