You have to rationalise the situation. Yes it is scary I still get images or The Grudge standing at the top of my stairs and whatnot.

You have to tell yourself you’re being silly, and it’s all just made up. You don’t have to watch theese movies if you don’t like them. Don’t worry do much about things, and the less worrying you do the easier things will get.

I can’t watch scary movies either, I just tell my friends so we don’t watch them. Simple as that.

There might be something more here.

Since you watched the Shining last week and couldn’t sleep for weeks after that, there might be something unknown here playing with time… =)

Be honest with your friends, just say you don’t want to watch it.
I walked out of the cinema when I saw Saw, couldn’t really deal with that movie.

Or try to look at it in a different way, that made me enjoy horror (except for Saw…). Look at it from a technical point of view and it becomes a different experience, not half as scary as otherwise…
