Off-Topic

Because I love you guys too, I'll ask you the same question I asked on Screened: I'm in the middle of my "One Horror/Halloween Movie a Day for a week (Including Halloween)" challenge, but I have the chance that I (seriously) might not be making the best decisions when I queued Let the Right One In, Tokyo Gore Police , and The Human Centipede for the weekdays and the Swedish version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo vs. The Exorcist vs. The first two "Guinea Pigs" (The Devil's Experiment and Flower of Flesh and Blood) to compete with what I will watch on Sunday (although I should play it safe and drop those last two since their DVD covers managed to give me nightmares and I actually saw them again by posting their friggin' links! D:).

Even though I know they're just movies, What should I do to help myself recover from any of these in case the horrific images don't settle with me so well? What do you do when recovering from such horror movies? And also, which kind of anime do you aim to watch when trying to recover from the Horror genre after seeing too much of it?

If someone found a really, but really horror movie, please tell me. About the human centipede it was disgusting, not horrorific

@Levance: It depends on what sort of horror you're looking for- classic horror (ala the Universal Monsters series), slasher (Friday the 13th, Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street... just to name a few), in-depth serial killer (Se7en, Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs), Sci-Fi (Alien, The Thing, The Fly), or supernatural (Jacob's Ladder, The Amityville Horror, The Omen[1976 version])- and how much of anything you're willing to put up with. I've seen quite a few, but even I have a lot of catching up to do with my scary flicks.

@Makoto_Mizuhara_Sakamoto: Something that scares and it's not only just gore, or diabolical kids, or invisible demons

@Levance: Well, you won't be disappointed by the original version of The Omen, starring Gregory Peck. Sure, the kid's the Antichrist- LITERALLY- but that shouldn't stop you, since this film was done was a penchant that it's almost unnoticeable. If you want some good jump scares, check out John Carpenter's The Thing. The film with the same title that came out recently isn't a remake- it's the prequel (what happened beforehand). If you want something that's an awesome serial killer flick that's genuinely freaky (and served as an inspiration for EA's Dead Space) is the 1995 thriller "Se7en". And that's only to start you off.

Watch funny movies, it always wears off the "scary" feeling for me.

Getting drunk AFTERWARDS, not beforehand. You do that beforehand, shit gets real and with the quickness.

That's, such a Superdevil225ish comment to say. It's like exactly what I would picture you saying. :)

Don't tell me that one of the comedies in question might be "Scream"... would it?

Actually, it is. I find Scream and the whole series quite hilarious.

They actually are.

That sounds like a nice idea to me.

Definitely agree! I came across a couple of comedies that could help me recover after all the torture I've seen between horror films.

@Supreme Marvel: Also agree with you, but I don't recommend seeing some porn after watching horror films, especially anything extremely bloody like Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl or The Texas Chansaw series.
