EditSteps
-
1Try to think about something else about the movie"That stunt from before was amazing! The actor must have trained for it.""Ad -
2Remember, If you feel a scary moment coming on, excuse yourself to the restroom. Wait a couple of minutes (but not too long) and go back in the theatre. Maybe take your time outside to grab some popcorn! -
3Try to focus on something else. Run a to-do list through your mind. Think about your favorite movie.. -
4Think about how fake the movie is. "That could never happen in real life!" -
5Imagine the man holding the camera, remember the protagonist is never alone, the cameraman is always there just watching. -
6If there is a scary part, simply close your eyes, hearing what is happening is a lot less scarier than seeing it! (To make it believable keep your face towards the screen as if you are watching the movie. You can also tilt your head slightly away from the person next and rest your cheek in your hand or on your fist. This will make it appear that you are bored with the movie and are not easily scared)Ad

EditTips
- If you are on a date, you can snuggle close to him for protection. Guys feel masculine when you do this.
- Covering your ears can help. Sometimes blocking out the music can make the scene less scary.
- Laugh at all the scary parts, everyone will look at you funny, but then you can laugh at their faces too.
- if you are at a sleepover hide under your blanket and cover your ears.
- Bring an iPod or CD player (with headphones) to quietly play during the movie. If you are a guy and do not want to be caught, use earbuds under a sweatshirt. The movie theaters are usually cold anyway so you'll be fine unless you take your hood off.
- If you don't want to be scared consider not going to scary movies.
EditWarnings
- If you are truly terrified of the film, leave the theater.
- If you are a guy and you get up to go to the bathroom, you may hear someone throw an insult at you, ignore them, even if they say, "Are you going to go to the little girl's room?"
- If you're a girl, you are probably not there without anyone. Just tell the person next to you that the movie is freaking you out and you need to leave for a sec'.
- if your a "thumb sucker" never do it during the film or you may bite your thumb
