my cousin is like you. when we go to horror films he LOL most of the time. Its ridiculous. Its not an evil laugh he just finds horror funny. And then ppl start loling because his laugh is funny.

I swear the people outside the theatre will think these guys are watching comedy.

So, whenever my friends/family want to watch a scary movie I'm never scared. Everyone else is tense or they get scared by some stupid monster that just "appears". I just don't find them scary at all. Is there something wrong with me? Name me some scary movies that might scare me but be warned, I probably won't be scared.


Did you geta chance to see the first two Alien movies yet?

I think you are simply breaking your suspension of disbelief. Probably you are thinking like: "these characters are dumb, its so unrealistic", "this is all fake","this is about the time when some scare atempts pop up" "will this even scare me?". The answer is, no. No movie can scare you unless you allow it to, because you know its inherently fake.

People can feel scared when they don't delve into these thought and try to connect to the characters. This obviosly can be made easier with the means to make your emersion easier (dark, not warm room, big screen, silence from exterior sources, surround sound).

If none of this is the case... then i guess you simply find other things scarier.

I think Nem is right.

The crux of the problem here, I think, is suspension of disbelief. As viewers (or players or readers), we need to allow ourselves to be scared. We need to give ourselves over to the production and believe in it. We have to let our imaginations run loose.

Allow ourselves? If you can't, you can't. You're just cheating yourself, if you're forcing That is the problem of the movie. But some people naturally will just be like, cool gore, and never be afraid of it. Which is how people who are morticians and doctors, in the first place, get their jobs done. I'm the type of guy that likes watching medical proceedures. Or news reports on victims or deaths. I find the aspect of what happened, and how the person died/got injured/got attacked interesting. So I won't fear what shows up. But I'm not a maschoist. Nor want to see this done intentionally to people, or animals.

I'm not blocking my suspention of disbelief. I just can watch the Halloween/saw/friday/chainsaw movies like a standard drama, any time of the day/night. And go to sleep like nothing happened. I'm more invested in how Lurie Strode stops Myers. Then be scared of the death scenes. That's another way people don't get scared.

It sounds like we agree. Some people can get lost in the illusion, others can't help but notice the facade.

I'm not suggesting people need to change. I'm just explaining what's required for the fiction to take root.

You're right. It just doesn't work on certain people. Which is what I'm leaning towards the OP. There's nothing wrong if you can't get scared. Unless you're being stupid/ass.

Sinister is kinda scary. Maybe the Conjuring too. But yeah I guess most people don't really get scared by films cos they know it's not real. Hearing your toilet flush, Or a light turn on when your the only one home, or hearing someone walk up your stairs and everyone is in bed thats real fear!
