How to stop being afraid of scary movies
It made me
awesome 
"I never thought of it as a goal"
How I did it: I was trained as a child to fear everything. I spent an entire sleepover as a child behind a recliner fearing I would see a bit of Edward Scissorhands because my parents said I would be terrified. I was trained to fear things. In high school a friend of mine loved scary movies and I gradually learned that it was a stimulant in a way.
I have to say that the movie that really made me love to watch scary movies was Shaun of the Dead. It is a romantic comedy and then a zombie movie. (They call it Romzom...cute isn't?) Now I can't get enough.
Lessons & tips: Watch Shaun of the Dead, thinking about the narrative plot, the social message, the filmography involved and challenge yourself to try other ones at the video store. I particularly like how men like scary movies. They also like talking about them ; )
Resources: Shaun of the Dead, 28 Days Later (my faaavorite), and any other zombie movie... they're usually gory and have some sort of social statement underneath them.

Well, it didn’t help me with this goal (it was disgusting and not scarry) but I hoped it would.

I read the short story by Daphne de Maurier a year ago and I saw the movie yesterday. Both are great and scary but the movie is not an adaptation. It’s rather loosely based on the plot of the short story.

"An American Werewolf in London" and "The Fly"

I loved the first one but it wasn’t really scary. The second one was scary but disgusting in some parts. Besides it wasn’t scary as all those movies about ghost, demons and psychopats. It was scary because it was probable and likely to happen.

“The Exorcist” and “The Blair Witch Project”. The first was kind of scary, the second wasn’t but I got scared because of the ending. Brrr…

I saw “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and I’m less and less afraid of the kind of psychopats. What’s more there was young Johnny Depp in it.

I saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), Nosferatu (1922) and I’m trying with Scream now (yeah I know I should have watched it long ago but when I was younger I went to the cinema with my mother to watch Scream 3 and I was so afraid we had to leave). I wanted to watch Candyman but again it’s about ghost and I don’t feel like watching it alone.
