Do you think Horror films attract Negative Energies?

I know the question is about horror movies but I think it’s relatable to the music debate since they’re both artistic outlets that we’re not supposed to take as reality. Some people believe the rise in popularity of drill music coincides with rise in violence in the streets especially with the younger kids. I think it’s solely dependent on the individuals surroundings/mental state/support system or lack thereof. So someone that’s depressed in life already with no friends or positive outlets could watch mad horror movies and the energy from it will effect them to a greater level than somebody whose life for the most part is going well. The energy is still there regardless but on it’s own it’s not strong enough to have a lasting/altering effect on their behavior. To me the same can be said about music and certain drugs. Besides just genetics studies have shown the difference between a casual drug user or a functioning addict and an addict that’s life is in shambles is the quality of their life outside of the drug.

not just horror films but any negative/depressing films
it's why i rarely watch depressing movies and any movies involving black struggle unless I know the person will get out of it in the end.

Never. Being at the movies on opening weekend with a packed audience watching a horror/thriller/suspense movie is one of the best theater experiences there is. Although I was paranoid about my toys coming to life after I saw Child's Play 2 when I was six.
Had the same thought too, but it was more for my mom’s dolls. :heh:

Know what gave me more bad vibes than any horror movie? Mr. Pickels on adult swim lmao

I don't mind dark, absurd, occult, demonic whatever so I though I'd smoke and give that show a spin and it just made me feel ick. Not even the content so much, just the vibe.

Yes. Whenever I’m really depressed, I watch horror films, because it takes my mind off what I’m upset about, because I then have the horror images.

It makes the other stuff seem not so bad.

No. Being scared or disturbed is a negative emotion and people that are scared or disturbed confuse their state with some magical energetic process, especially if they already believe in magical energetic processes in the first place.

There are horror games or movies that don't scare me and I can consume them without an issue. Most of the horrific content scares or disturbs me though, so I don't consume it.
