Help Required!

I'm Harley, new to this forum and I am currently writing a feature on the appeal of horror films, and why people enjoy watching them. I am looking to speak to someone who has had a bad experience/been traumatized when watching a horror film, or alternatively knows someone else who has.

If you can help please message me on here. Thanks!

I faint whenever I see blood on the screen. So far, I have fainted 2054 times in the theater and 1037 times at home, every time a horror film was played. Still, it hasn't stopped me from watching 3091 horror films.

As many as 7 people I know have gone completely mad after watching The Village. 10 others are battling brain-dead symptoms. That's the level of trauma it has caused.

Hope that helps.

After passionately watching horror films for the last 10-15 years I've now successfully became a serial killer, locally known as 'The Decorator'...as I replaced the showpieces with the body parts of my victims (mostly happily married new couples) in the drawing room of their house.

I just don't know why....but as soon I sees gore & mayhem in a horror film I always felt an urge to kill people...particularly beautiful young boys & girls who just got engaged or married.....

Our local police force are so fucked up that they still has no clue about my identity and that gives a safe & secure practice field where I can extensively research, learn & skill myself about this art & business before becoming an international....

The first time i watched a horror movie i got so scared i died. Then i came back as a zombie and killed a bunch of people before finally being killed once again. Now i'm a ghost that haunts horror forums and people that write features on the appeal of horror movies.

Don't turn off your lights when you go to sleep.....

I'm a necrophiliac. The stiffies that stiffs have are ten times as hard as your average engorged living male.

Horror films with a high body count are the only way I can get off without violating the dead.
