Is it normal to be scared of something that isn't real?

Totally normal. Chucky scares the shit out of me.

It means the producers and director did a good job :-)

uhhh yea thats why there called SCARY movies people are supposed to be scared after

just watch the movie by yourself in the dark with nothing but you and the TV. you'll feel much more safe.

Absolutely. I don't believe ghosts are real, but a good horror movie allows me to suspend my disbelief for a while. Psychological horror gets under my skin much more than anything explicit. Then when it all gets too much I can always remind myself that it's not real. Or in my mom's words 'don't worry, it's just ketchup'

I suppose it's normal, although I've yet to find a horror film that has scared me. They just seem so obvious. Much more scared by books and documentaries because they document something real that's still going on when you close the book or stop watching.
