Re: Horror films.
I used to watch horror films and found some of them scarey then I grew out of fantasies and into reality. Now I find films that once were scarey are funny and intriguing.
Fear is a state of mind and as we grow up our sense of fear changes. The first film that I saw was 'It Always rains on Sundays' and it scared the life out of me, granted I was only 8 years old at the time. Now I doubt that it would interest me enough to even watch it.
I have a habit these days of wondering how they manage to get some of the shots in some films, where would the camera be positioned etc, hence I do not watch a film unless it is of great interest.
The Shining, Silence of the Lambs, and Se7en are supposed to be the scariest but as I have not seen the I dont know how scarey they are.
