[hide]Steps
- Remember, it's just a set and it's just a costume. When making scary movies a lot of make-up and costumes are used, which means the outcome of the movie might be scary but it's fake.
- Visualize the filming scenes. Imagine the filming on the set, the actors laughing, the producers and director taking a quick snack and when you think of it that way the movie will be less frightening. Imagine one of the actors reading a script or getting their makeup done.
- Imagine something random, but enjoyable. It'll help you get your mind off of the movie when you're thinking of something really funny or silly.
- Look for filming mistakes. Is an actor in a period film wearing a modern watch? Look for things like that to take your mind off the scariness.
- Snack on something if you're alone. If you're watching it in a movie theater, grip your seat tightly.
- Don't forget to enjoy the movie. We watch scary movies for the thrill, but afterwards, it's a nightmare. If you know that you are easily scared, just don't watch it.
Tips
- Watch the movie in the morning so you will have the whole day to forget about it and you can sleep easier at night.
- Don't freak yourself out before it starts. Do not read reviews, especially if they claim how scary it is.
- Remember that, in real life, the actors are all friends.
- Don't believe all trailers. A trailer is meant to make a movie seem 25 times scarier then it is, so just remember that no human being could come up with 2 hours worth of trailer worthy screams.
- Don't fast forward important but scary bits. Just block your ears and close your eyes. Some will get through but not all.
- If you know something bad is on the verge of happening, pay attention to a mundane detail on the screen, a painting in the background for instance, never get too engrossed to a point where your head is locked.
- Avoid looking at stuff that are scary like an old painting or an old door that's written on and broken.
- Imagine that the person in danger or who is about to be killed is someone you dislike.
- Have An Exit Near You!
- Think of something totally random, like fuzzy turtle legs, then think about that for the jump scares.
- If you're at home and you get scared easily search a full summary and read along as you watch. You don't get the same suspense but you won't be nearly as scared.
Warnings
- Don't watch very scary movies that are based on true stories if you are easily scared! Your mind won't get off the fact that it's not true.
