Why Do I Do This To Myself?

It always starts the same. Lights off. Blanket ready. Snacks in hand. “This one doesn’t look that scary,” I tell myself with the confidence of someone who’s clearly learned nothing from past trauma. Fifteen minutes in, I’m already regretting everything. The music changes. The camera lingers. Suddenly, I’m holding my breath like it’ll stop the ghost from noticing me through the screen. By the halfway mark, I’ve jumped at least three times, spilled popcorn twice, and made a mental note to sleep with the lights on for the rest of the week. And yet… I don’t stop watching. I can’t stop watching. There’s something weirdly thrilling about being terrified from the safety of your couch. Like a rollercoaster for your brain—with nightmares included. And when it’s finally over? I pretend I’m fine… until I hear a creak in the hallway and sprint to the bathroom like I’m being hunted. See you again next weekend, horror genre. I hate you. I love you. I’ll be back. #Movies #Chill #Horror
