This is exactly right. Its easy to laugh, joke and cringe with a smile on your face when watching horror films. Any exposure to real violence or tragedy, without fail, makes you realise how 'safe' the feelings of fear you feel when watching films are. The real world will always be the scariest thing anyone will experience.
