I definitely think I have a phobia of scary movies. What phobia is that? I couldn't find it anywhere. Is there one?
By the way, is this the right category?

By the way, I got the idea of searching for this because I happen to see another question which I answered. You can see my answer over there.

I'm not a fan of scary movies, either, but I never thought there was a name for the condition. Hmmmm...this could open up a whole new realm of inquiry.

There are phobias for everything! But I think you probably have not a phobia. When a person has a phobia then he becomes wet of fear of stupid things, like he's going to loose his consciousness etc. And you're probably just scared of horror movies which is normal in your age. And actually I would recommend you not to watch them at all!!! Don't listen if your friends tell you you are scary or something! That's all stupidities. People can get diseases for all their life after watching horror if they have vivid imagination!!!

A scary movie is just generally scary overall. You don't have to have a phobia in order to be frightened by scary movies. That is why they are made. As well, every scary movie is made differently, so what you fear per movie is always different. A phobia is usually an unwarranted fear, and so it can't be unreasonable or unwarranted to find yourself frightened at something that is meant to be scary.

I don't think it is a phobia. As a BOY, I LOVED scary movies, because I would have some COOL NIGHTMARES!! But, when I got OLDER, and EXPERIENCED the nightmares FIRST HAND!! I quit!! The Horror films take me back to the nightmares of LIFE that I've had!!

I think that itr is natural to be scared but movies are not real. if they give you nightmares then avoid them. I do not have a fear but do not enjoy such films so do not bother with them
