I find it difficult to sleep after watching horror movies. But i like to watch horror movies in night only. I feel thrilled watching them at night.

I usually watch horror movies with a friend if not in the daylight where it doesn't scare me. By doing that, I'm certain you went get the creeps after watching horror movies.If you don't feel comfortable than maybe you shoudln't see horror movies,see drama movies instead.

Well I'm not a big horror fans as I do get scared sometimes watching them, however for me it's pretty much depends on the horror movies. The one that can make me hard to sleep is usually movies that has a bit of that mystical background not some teen thriller things. Mystical horror that have previous events background or spooky mystical legends somehow had that weird effects on me.

Sometimes that does happen to me. But the movie would have to be really scary for me not to be able to sleep afterwards. Most of the time I can sleep after it and not have any nightmares about the stuff I just watched. I like to watch the movie in the afternoon and not at night when its dark. lol.

I love horror movies! I even watch horror films by myself and at the wee hours too! I don't have problems sleeping at all. The excitement and the story all ends after the movie ends too. Whenever it crosses my mind, I don't get too scared at all since it's just a movie. I appreciate the brilliant ideas of those people who have a knack at scaring people through those kinds of stories! ^_^

I guess it's because I don't get scared easily but I love to watch a horror movie alone at night with all the lights turned off . Oh and after that I can still sleep because they just don't affect me like that .

Hi Vycess, when I was little I watched The Shining and that did it for me for horror movies. I couldn't sleep for days and I had to sleep in my sister's room so I would have company but even then I had trouble (really, what was she going to do against horrors?) falling asleep and staying asleep. Now that I'm older I try not to subject myself to the horror movies but if for whatever crazy reason I am trapped and have to watch one, I do have trouble sleeping if I am alone. I did discover one night that if you watch a horror movie without sound and just put the closed captioned on, it truly is not as scary with the sound. All the leading up to the suspenseful parts with music or the sudden noises are not there to scare you! What was the scariest movie you have seen?

I like watching horror movies and yet i get scared so easily.lol. I don't like to watch it all by myself. Whenever i watch one. i always see to it that i have someone with me. I am such a sucker for horror movies yet i often get too paranoid by just thinking about the scary scenes.
