I have never watched a horror movie on purpose. Never. There is a reason for that. I avoid watching about the “supernatural” world, even though no one would believe those antics on the screen truly exist, nor do I allow my brain to hold on to what I’ve seen.

However, when my daughter was a teen, she followed her friends through one and from that moment on, she slept with the light on. I think she still
