When is a time when people voluntarily put themselves in a
terrified state just for the “fun” and the “adrenaline rush” (whatever that
means)? Roller coasters, jumping on and out of things, and horror movies. We’re
going to stick with the worst one today: horror movies.
Ever since I was little I’ve hated any types of scary movies. It
took be until I was 12 to even be able to fully watch and enjoy the Pirates of
the Caribbean movies (Yes, I know they are not horror, but to a five or six
year old they are terrifying even though they are Disney) and 15 to watch my
first horror movie. Since I was the older sibling I never had any
sibling pressure to watch horror movies until I was 15 and my sister was 13.
Then she began her horror movie phase and wanted to watch dozens of horror
movies with her. It didn’t go so well.
Part of what I
hate so much about horror movies is that they aren’t very realistic and ninety
percent of the time they end with the little kid being the murderer. What? I
would hope that people in real life and much smarter than the people in horror
movies. These people think that they are invincible and they can do whatever
they please. It has always been hard for me to take people in horror movies
seriously based on their actions.
Also, there is a
lot more gore than there is in real life. In real life if you accidentally cut
yourself with a kitchen knife you would clean it and possibly need a few
stitches, while in a horror movie you would be gushing blood and leave a trail
along the ground that the murderer follows. Its insane.

I too dislike horror movies simply because they are bad. Bad acting, bad filming, bad effects, its no good. Most of the time you end up bored out of your mind and getting jump scared. There are good horror movies (the shining, jaws, ect.) but they just don't make them like they used to. You'd be better off staring at a black screen for two hours and every 30-45 minutes have the screen flash a scary face and fill the theater with a loud noise. Just because you can make people jump doesn't mean you scare them.
