Taming Terror: Sliding into Horror

My love of horror started as a toddler when my dad let me watch Child's Play with him. I was immediately hooked.

Since then, I've tried to connect with others who feel the same way I do about horror: intrigue, curiosity, and thrill. But finding others who enjoyed horror the way I do has been and still is difficult. When I ask people why they don't want to watch scary movies with me, they say “I just don’t like being scared.”

So that's the mission of this blog: to open the creaky doors and blow away some of the cobwebs so more people feel comfortable exploring their fears and finding relatable moments by providing spoiler-free jump-scare warnings and content warnings to.

Please note that the lists of content warnings are general, not comprehensive. I may have missed something that squicks you out or triggers you. I do not purposefully leave these out; it may have just slipped my mind to include it. If you think a particular CW should be included, please message me. I include CWs in this series as a courtesy to others; this inclusion is in no way an implication that those who require CWs are lesser or should not be allowed to enjoy the genre.

So why tame terror? Too much fear, and the viewer wants to turn off the screen. But too little … where's the fun in that?
