Funny, I had that same problem, well sort of... for a little while I could only sleep during the daytime. At night I was too creeped out. And I've been working on, or making, scary movies for over 20 years now!

I was okay after about three days. The effect will probably wear off.

The effect of the film on me was quite funny. I had read all about it, had read postings on the net, knew about everything that happened in the film from start to finish. I knew the whole ad campaign was designed to trick you into thinking it was real.

I knew all that. But I championed the cause of this movie, because it was made by stray dog independent geeks with almost no money, and I was excited to see it. At the time this came out, too, I was tired of seeing big-budget special effects movies, too (I was "on the rebound," if you will). So I was prepared to accept it with open arms.

I was pleased to discover that the film had a kind of rough-hewn, off-the-cuff charm. I liked the unknown leads. And it had a joyful, "mud-pie" sort of feeling to me--you know, "We made this with NOTHING, look at it!" So yeah, while I was watching it, I felt I was getting just what I had paid for.

When I got home, lo and behold! I found that the film had actually creeped me out. I'm sure partially this was due to my receptive attitude. And I have been accused of having poor taste by many colleagues who are convinced it's a "piece of crap." And maybe it is a piece of crap. But dammit, I liked that piece of crap. I only saw it the once. I've always felt the effect would be spoiled if I saw the flick more than once.

I had a similar problem, and I found a solution that works wonders.




For every second the lights are on, rape him in the ass. I guarantee you the lights will never be on again after about a month (sometimes you have to rape him with the lights off, but that might just be me)

But it should work for you, worked wonders for me. To this day my dad won't have the lights on when I'm in the room.

Actually, you know what I did? I watched "The Simpsons," and that sort of got me un-scared. It took a few episodes, but it was the best thing for me.

makes me laugh when people say they can't do this, that and the other, after they've had a 'traumatic' viewing experience.

yeah, but this is different, a fear was already there.... to be exploited.

Becoming fearfull of something, that you was originally comfortable doing, prior to watching a scene, makes me believe that people are too easily influenced by what they view, in an emotional sence. It should be real life experiences that influence.
