As a Halloween enthusiast, you might assume that I really like horror movies … I don’t.

Plot twist: I’m not.

Blood, guts, and excessive gore? Hard pass. Movies like “Saw” and its many splattery sequels aren’t for me. I’ve also never been particularly scared of monsters, witches or zombies. Why? Because they’re fictional — and often so over-the-top that they feel more like fantasy than fear.
