Is watching scary movies bad for you?

Question

I've been told by lots of grown-ups and my parents that watching scary movies are really bad for you. They said it makes my mind full of creepy and spooky stuff and it'll affect my schoolwork, and they also said that if you watch scary movies alot, you go mad. Is this really true? I've heard a lot of people go to madhouses bcuz they watched scary movies. I don't watch it all the time but do you think I should be watching them? plz help.

Answer 1

What do you feel? The only opinion that matters is yours. Personally, I love scary movies. I think it's a great genre in which the exploration of the human condition is limitless. As a writer I find that when I place characters, ordinary people, in a supernatural, horrific, or otherwise extraordinary condition those character become more than ordinary. They become heros and villains, monsters and beauties. They become the epitome of our fears and hopes.

So, no I don't think it's bad at all. Scary movies just challenge, question what most people refuse to acknowledge.

Answer 2

scary movies can make a person crazy if you watch way to much like my parents, its also very bad for your learning and makes a person concinzed to do things that is wrong like in 1993this man spented pretty much every hour of the day watching scary movies and soon became crazy
