The first time you drink a glass of beer, the alcohol hits differently. That single glass could have you losing your mind within a few minutes. But on the next few times, you drink the same beer, you’d find yourself dawning two glasses or even a bottle of the same beer before you get intoxicated. Little by little, your body gets used to drinking that I’d take quite a few bottles to get you drunk. This is the same thing that happens when you watch a lot of horror films. The first few times, you’d be scared out of your mind, but the more you watch these creepy movies the harder it becomes for you to get scared by the antiques of other horror flicks. In fact, in some cases, watching horror movies become even therapeutic.
Seasoned horror fans are difficult to scare. Most horror stories seem really flat to them, and some might even check out Dead or Alive 2 Slots and other horror-themed games for the fun of it. If you are one of those people who hardly get terrified and are looking for movies to bring back that numbing adrenaline rush, these three movies will scare the life out of you.
