I'm not a big fan of horror, I've said it before and I'll say it again and again. But I would never discredit the genre as rubbish since they are known to have actually cause real-life scares. Most are blown out of proportion, but all the same the consequences are real. For example, as I'm sure you've heard, Spielberg's Jaws [1975] got so many people afraid to swim in the ocean but worse still, caused fishermen to mercilessly kill sharks until they are now facing extinction.

| But still, if sharks are really Death incarnate, then that diver is fucked! |
So what I'm saying is, while most horror movies are laughable (like Friday the 13th, etc), the ones that are really well-written and effectively play out our deepest fears can really traumatise you. Oh, mine's not Jaws [1975].
