My friends grandfather who was fond of watching horror movies all the the time and wanted a more scarier movie for his next film.
He was a 66 years man and when ever i went their home he was watching some movie which even made me go mad even at a glance.
Later he was found to have 2 of heart volves blocked and the doctors said its just because of him watching lots of horror movies at this age.
He died of a heart desease.

It is totally true.Cardiovascular system is connected with the Autonomic Nervous System,wich is the one on charge of the alert answer in the human body.When an agressive stimulus appears,this system accelerates cardiac frequency and increases the arterial pressure.Such reaction can cause heart problems in ancient people.

Don't worry about horror movies.
The doc is a quack. The age of
your grandfather is what got to
him.

I think the main problem that causes the heart attack is with the horror movies there will be sudden stimuli or sudden reaction between the movies. I also sometimes feel suddenly feared while watching the horror movies. Also, sometimes suddenly feels heart beat going faster while watching anxiously at the movies.

Yes..i accept this...and occuring nowadays commonly in many places who watching the tv most time...The cause is due to the people involving with the tv while watching...i watch out this in many places..For example, my brother has this type of involvement...he do the same thing as the hero and herions do say hero is knuckles the hand, he do the same thing, hero bit his hand, he also do the same thing in the film while watching the tv....
