How to watch a Horror film

Here is the ultimate guide to truly enjoy classic horror movie :

It''s true that two people won't get the same experience when they've watched the same film especially classic horror movie. These days, you won't find anyone over th age of 13 who actually gets scared by watching horror film..Thanks you internet and video games !!

Howerver it is still possible to immerse yourself in a horror movie and get frightened if you follow step by step my process ! if you're siiting comfortably we will begin :

1. Do NOT watch horror films at the cinema !
Without taking care about the quality of the film, you will definitely have your experience ruined by stupid persons talking, laughing or even texting on their phone (how annoying !). Worst of all, you may get placed close to a troublemaker who can't stop shouting at the screen.. it's true that characters in horror movie usually make stupid decisions BUT we dont need a running commentary !!!
That's the guy you want close to you in a movie theater


So, to sum up you stay home with your own home cinema, it will totally do the trick so you can enjoy your movie.

PS : do not deprive yourself of eating POP CORN, i think its the basic way to enjoy any movie !

2. Do NOT watch horror movie during the day 
You need to create the right obscur ambiance as in the movie, so it HAS TO BE DARK in your living room !! the best way is to close your shutters but i prefer let them openned and see the darkness through the window. OF COURSE you have to switch off the lights !!

3.You need to control your environment

  • First, you may think that its better to watch movie with bunch of friends( if you have enough)  but ITS NOT ! : it will increase the opportunity for conversations and you'll miss some great scenes.
  • Then, you need to get the volume loud (like at the cinema) :  why ?? because you will fully take the adventage of the weird/scary noises and also of the terrifying music in the movie. we all know some of them : Psychose (Hitchcock) ; Shinning (Stanley Kubrick) ; The exorcist (William Friedkin)

    Here is some creepy anbient horror you can find in monsters movie :




  • NOBODY has to interupt your concentration/immersion in the movie : switch off your phone, computer, tablet computer, alarm clock etc.. 


Now you have your set up ready to enjoy you horror movie, we will introduce some classics monsters movie later ..
