Blogpost 8: It isn't real.

Lots of people usually can't get over the horror movies that they watch. They are still scared even after an hour or two. They get sensitive at times and you can hardly communicate to them as if they got traumatized because of the movie. I usually see these reactions as well, when me and my classmates go out for fun and we chose to a horror movie, most of the girls are still scared even after the film has ended maybe because they still think that they are sitting and watching the film.

I wanted to give them some tips on how they could suppress the extreme feeling that they are getting after watching horror films so I had a little research about it and I saw this article entitled "How to stop being scared after watching Horror movies. " from Wiki How to do anything. It says there the steps on how you could actually prevent yourself in being scared after watching horror film. Here are the steps mentioned:

The first is always remember that it is not real. They only made that to scare people and gain profit from it but in reality it will not happen. The second one is try watching a peaceful or a funny movie after watching horror because it may somehow relieve you from the intense feeling that you get from watching horror. Third is, remember that the movie industry invested a lot of money to make the movie believable, it means that they really put effort just for people to be scared but it really isn't real. Fourth is try thinking of positive things or think of what you are going to do for the next day so you could forget about the horror movie you watched. Fifth is do something different after watching the movie, you could play,sing,dance or go out with friends or hang out with your family. Sixth is to imagine the movie in your head, you could change everything that happens in that movie and you can make yourself as the superhero. Seventh is to think of psychological reasons why the movie scares you a lot eventually you will realize that it is all in your head. Lastly, remember that nothing like what happen to the characters in the movie has happened to you before, those things can never be done in our society.

Once you have taken note of these steps you will actually realize that its true, none of the events in the horror that you've watch can be real and can be done in real life. We can prevent being scared everytime because of these facts. After knowing all these, one can be more realistic than before and can be much stronger.

Most of the times we are watching horror movies at night and so after the film we cannot sleep well because we are still thinking of the film. So I researched on how we can sleep decently. I saw this article from Wiki how to do anything entitled "How to go to bed after watching a horror movie" the article says the following steps:

First acknowledge the type of movie you watched, is it zombie,ghost or a serial killer movie and then after that you should think that it is not real over and over. Second is think about fulffy stuffs or funny moments to ease the tension you are feeling. Third is to refuse to let your imagination run wild so that you will not be thinking of bad happenings. Fourth is distract yourself, you can play with your phone or you can read magazines while you are waiting for yourself to fall asleep or you can also take a relaxing bath before you take a nap. Fifth is to lie dow in your bed relaxed while listening to your favorite music. Lastly if you are really scared you can turn on your television and watch something else until you fall asleep.

With that steps we can already overcome and forget the feeling of being in the despair and darkness. We should know what to do especially when we are alone. I suggest that people should know these steps for them to be aware and for them to know how they could relax themselves after watching a very scary movie.
