We all get super paranoid after watching a horror movie, but we still choose to watch them anyways. We learn what not to do in a scary situation, and we learn to keep the lights on at night. Horror movies typically go through phases that we all know.
1. The "everything is so pleasant and perfect" phase.
You're wondering where and when the next jump scare is, but all you see is super happy people.
2. The "you just got introduced to the villain" phase.
You are so shocked and scared that your hand immediately cover your face.
3. The "plot is starting to get complex" phase.
Woah, things just got really weird. Usually, there is some flashback to the past and some scary images.
4. The "intense faceoff between the villain and the protagonist" phase.
This is by far the scariest part of the movie. You want the protagonist that you got attached to save the day. You're super worried because things can change quickly.
5. The "everything is ok until the next time" phase.
You are in shock right now. The hero just saved the day after the faceoff, but at the end, there's some sort of indication that that wasn't the end of what just happened.
