Nightmares from horror movies

Post Reply New Topic

Okay. Not a big fan of gore. In fact I despise gore in horror movies and just dislike horror movies in general. I easily have nightmares from horror movies. I wonder if it's an autism thing. Some people don't seem affected at all by them. I just got done watching the voices with Ryan Renolds. It was pretty disturbing. It wasn't a bad movie although it could have ended a little more climactic. The ending was stupid.

Hopefully this will not give me nightmares for a week.

So what about you? Do you get nightmares easily? If so, what movie gave you the nightmares?

Silent Hill disturbed me as a child,

But I loved it none the less

I had Silent Hill as a child cause lulz

I'm weird, I never get nightmares from scary movies. If I have dreams about them, I find them very enjoyable - for example, I might be hunting or fighting a "monster" and loving every minute of it, not trying to run or hide from it. I don't think I really get the "traditional" kinds of nightmares (not that I don't have unpleasant dreams sometimes, though). I'm pretty indifferent to gore these days (as long as it isn't real, anyway), and I love horror. I've always been fascinated by anything supernatural or paranormal - the less I previously knew about it, the better.

But I know horror isn't everyone's cup of tea. I hope you have pleasant dreams despite the movie, Sarahsmith.

Random note,

Sleeping with cig patchs is AMAZING

Its one time deal though, it didn't scare me but my God the spiders were amazing.

I am deathly afraid of spiders in real life and I'll probably find some just to torture my ass for the lulz, that would be some lulz and probably will unfortunately happen for the lulz but I might like it.

I might like all the lulz, I might like the whole package.

But it wasn't spiders in the traditional sense... no it was like the legs moving away from the body... it was trippy

I'm not really into horror movies much but I do like some of the classics. I never had nightmares from em.

I managed not to have any nightmares just one disturbing dream of two girls (the ones he killed in the movie) sitting on the floor outside of Ryan Renolds apartment with stern looks on their faces. That was it then the dream ended.

Cant say I've ever had a nightmare from watching a horror movie.
I find gore movies ridiculous.
Most action/superhero movies are equally ridiculous, and boring.
I would rather a psychological type movie than one where everything is rolled out in front of you.
It's no wonder the imagination is becoming atrophied.

I don't like modern so-called 'Comedy Horror' (loads of this stuff on The Horror Channel), or gory splattery type things, but I do like watching many films up until the late 1970s, Hammer releases being an obvious example. Even so, these don't tend to scare me - a very rare exception would be a mid-1960s film called The Gorgon.

Gosh, I hate the mixing of horror with comedy - especially when it ruins moments that would have been very creepy, cool, etc by trying to be funny. That's a major "pet peeve" of mine. I also am not a fan of gore for the sake of gore, but will put up with it if it's something that's otherwise good - but if it's trying to substitute being truly scary or interesting by trying to shock people with ridiculous amounts of blood and gore, forget it.

Meh, I can take or leave horror movies.
Gore doesn't bother me, I'm not squeamish and anyway, it's all just stage makeup. Corn syrup and dye.
The only scary movie I actually found scary was 28 Weeks Later - and that was because of the lead actor's skills. He did that part way too well and it was scary scary. Now I walk past an open door to a dark room at night and I'm irrationally convinced zombies are going to get me
Funny that it only happens in enclosed human environments, like houses and buildings, doesn't happen outdoors.
I suppose if you get freaked out you can tell yourself what adults always told kids - it's just make-believe, it's not real, it's just people acting parts and it's all makeup. You know that already of course, but a good self-pep-talk.
That and watch or read something nicer afterwards, before you go to bed, to get your head out of that space.
But maybe if they bother you that much, you shouldn't watch horror movies at all? Some people just don't like them.
