The strongest feelings among our emotions are fear, fear is something that can trigger even in broad day light, we fear things that we can't see or things that is less likely to happen. Fear was triggered either by being surprise or childhood memories. I was once told by my parents when i'm young that if i am not obedient the apunehneh will come and catch me away, seriously everything the garang guni walks pass i will hide and dare not come out, i find it very funny now that i think back. When we watch a horror movie we know that the things we are going to watch is going to keep us from sleeping at night as we will imagine and when sounds were heard we will get super paranoid and hide under our blanket. Why do people like to watch horror movies? Because it's thrilling people likes the feeling of being scared? or maybe they just want to watch it with girls so that they can be grabbed by them?(for male)
Well i did a research on why people like to watch horror movies and i found that the study is being conducted by Eduardo Andrade and Joel B. Cohen, argueing about the reason why people like watching scary movies is that it is a way to experience both positive and negative emotions simultaneously. while experiencing the nagative emotions and also experiencing positive emotions this may reinforce the need to continue to watch horror films.
Splatter is a need when you watch movies that shows blood splattering when the character is being cut. This makes the movie more realistic and also gives abit of thrill to people and that is also why these kind of movies have rates as well. I'm not really into horror movies but will watch one or two sometimes, i ever watched a funny horror movie about chinese vampires and a family ghost. One of which is a hong kong show by sammi My Left eye sees ghosts. While the different between horror shows and games is that while in game you would tend to just pause there and not move because your're afraid that something might pop up and scares you but in movie you can't really stop the show unless your watching from a DVD at home.
I think that the only thing that scares people in movie is the surround sound effect because i tried watching a horror movie without sound at home, though it's not as thrilling as it is you can still have a little bit of "what is going to happen/come out next" thoughts. When we talk about unexplainable phenomena the only thing we could do was feel scared because basically we can't see them and i have heard a few rumours about ghost disturbing beings.
Experience:
well i have had experience once before when i'm in china for a holiday trip, it was early in the morning when my sis was bathing and i slept first so at first i heard people knocking on the drawer behind me several times thinking that it was my sister i throw my temper and turned back but there was no one and i could hear the shower going so i went back to sleep but next i heard a sound calling "OI" and this time i really heard it and scolded something coz i really hate people disturbing me from my sleep but once again there was no one so woke up and switched on the TV to stop myself from thinking further. This is totally not like any other horro movies i've watch before and i am not really that scared.
There is only one horror games i've played before which is Silent Hill on PSP and it really scares me because everytime i enter a shop it's all pitch black and i would tend to stop awhile before moving, i didn't manage to complete the game because i reached a place and monsters keep chasing after me and i just kept running in circles didn't know where to go feeling frustrated i quitted the game. hahaha
From my point of view i think that horror movies that are happened usually at home is the most scariest one or maybe like what we have seen is the same thing as what people in the movie seen and maybe we'll be curse too? a few examples like The Ring where the video tape was being watched and soon later the phone rings so imagine you're watching The Ring Movie at the cinema and as the phone in the show rings, your phone rings along with it. It will definately make you jump haha.. One show that is said to be true is the Paranormal Activity about this house is said to live a demon and this couple wanted to take down the video of this demon and failed but get themselves into trouble. The ending is said to be false as there are 3 alternate endings.
These kind of ghost horror is different from gore horror, for gore horror there is usually a serial killer which is unknown and starts killing people like Scream, chucky and Saw, this kind of shows really gives people the thrill shouting "quick run run run" and get anxious for the main characters. I really like shows where you can see the main character fighting with the serial killer instead of just running and getting killed. one of the show that i really dislike is quarantine as the reporter keeps screaming and it's because of her that the cameraman and her got killed and didn't even put up a fight. Sometimes shows that are not suppose to be scary are scary, like the Toys Story 1 where the kid disabled the toys and put them together in any combination looks kind of scary to me and most of all it's toys and kids have been playing with barbie dolls and all.
There's really not much difference from watching a chinese vampire and a english vampire show well the only different is that the english vampire can hide their tooth and they looked just like any other normal being while the chinese vampires are made by dead corpse and there will be this man that put a tailsmen on their head and made them jump and transfer them from one place to the other. There is always one vampire that is super strong and powerful but something stupid about the chinese vampires is that you just have to hold your breathe and they can't find you i mean isn't it weird? well it is said that the human Qi plays an important role for chinese. Even if the chinese vampires are afraid of tailsmen there's no way a strong vampire will be afraid of just some papers. When we watch vampires shows like van helsing we know that vampires is not afraid of crosses except for holy water i guess and sun light? maybe? Well you can try holding ur breathe if you met one the next time? haha Ok so as long as a chinese vampire bites or use his claw you turned into a vampire as well and i watch a show saying about if you place the person that got bitten by vampires you just have to let him/her stepped on the rice for like 3 days or so it might help him to force the poison out.
For a english vampire to change a human into vampire they have to input their own blood into the normal human being and so they becomes one with them. Isn't the biting part similar to zoombies? they bite you and you turned into one of the undead. 
Hmm never liked zoombies because it's human beings and well you see humans everywhere so imagine there really is a virus that turns humans into zoombies and i guess it will be the end for singapore since it's small. =D
I find that using an object in movies is a success for movie makers for example there's a lot of shows using puppets/dolls and since then alot of people will be afraid of dolls. For me i think clowns are very scary after it is being used in most of the shows, now that they look super creepy to me if i see one on the street. I remembered watching a doll show called Chucky and it really freaks me out because it moves and kills people, so when i see the chucky model at plaza singapura i try to avoid it or would not enter the shop at all.photos taken from:
