Horror Films are not My Cup of Tea

I am always happy in the hope of happiness. I will definitely say no if you invited me to see a horror films. If unfortunately I was dragged to the cinema, I would probably deliberately concentrate on pop corns and shield my eyes with the seat back in front of me, constantly hoping that I could shut my ears as well. However, many of my friends are happy in the hope of fear—they are addicted to horror films!!

As a matter of fact, I am not that frightened when I shoot a glance or two at the screen. Instead, what worries me is some kind of ripple effects, which may affect my mind virtually every now and then. Say, for example, when I was taking a shower in Eton Hall, there suddenly came a power cut and all lights went off. I would not at all feel scared since I had noting terrifying to think of, not until last week a “famous” Japanese film ultimately occupied my empty mind.

Last week, excited and nervous, several of my roommates clustered around a computer to see the enduringly popular film called The Ring(Wu Ye Xiong Ling). Holding each other’s hand firmly, they screeched, whispered, sighed, gave a sudden look at the back and kept changing posture as if they could never sit still. All these so strongly aroused my interest and curiosity that I finally stood up and joined them. The film was really a horror film!!!!! (Although I knew people were around me and most of the time I saw the film through my fingers and skipped quite a lot classic horrifying pictures by asking them “Is it over”)

Consequently, I begin to doubt whether my choice for single room is wise. What if I think of the film on a thunder booming night...? What if my cell phone rings at midnight…? What if I wake up from a nightmare and simply want to go to the toilet…? Nevertheless, scientifically speaking, watching horror films can relieve stress by stimulating our brain to secret certain hormone.

With or without so-called benefits, I will never allow myself to “drink others’ cup of tea”!!
