If you have this syndrome bad enough, it can even haunt you if you don't see a movie. It must have been eight years ago, but still, I don't like walking outside in rural areas on hot summer nights. I'm convinced some sicko will suddenly come charging out of the woods, cutting off a number of my bodily parts with a Stihl O-56. Of course, maybe I'm being too harsh. There is supposed to be another side to this.
Psychologists say horror films are a release.
