I Have a Secret: I Have Yet to Scream from Fear During a Horror Movie

I know I have mentioned many times throughout my articles that I love horror. Let’s face it, I’m a huge horror fan. There is one problem.

I haven’t screamed from fear.

During a horror movie.

Why is that? Coming from someone that loves to be scared to death? I think it’s because I’m used to the ‘horror formula.’

The ‘horror formula’ consists of many concepts in horror:

• Jump scares
• A suspenseful build — up
• Terrifying visuals
• An expected bad ending for the characters in the story
• Horrifying monsters with amazing designs
• Crazy plot twists

And so on. I appreciate all horror concepts. It’s just…I don’t scream.

I would like to experience that one day. That is when I will know I have officially hit it.

‘The True Fear.’

That must be the best feeling in the world for all horror fans. If this makes me sound creepy or weird, I will embrace it. I love horror that much.

It’s a lovely genre that holds a special place in my heart.

(Picture an emoji of someone placing a hand over their heart, lol).

Thank you for reading!
