How NOT to Get Scared This Halloween!

BOO!!!
Did I get
ya??
The haunting season is upon us and all the ghosts and
ghouls are coming out to play! Even the clowns are appearing in the
oddest places!
'Tis the season to fright and scare, and if you’re
anything like me, we need to start mentally preparing ourselves.
I’ve already been invited to go to a Haunted Hayride and watch
scary movies. Don’t get me wrong, your girl is down, but your girl
is also a huge scaredy cat. Worst of it all is that I wantto go and get scared and then immediately regret my decision once
I'm in the situation.
So, for everyone like me who gets scared easily but
doesn’t want to get a case of FOMO this Halloween, here are some of
my tips and tricks to diffusing my terror in the various horror
night amusement parks my friends and family drag me to or just
watching scary movies… at night… with the lights off...

AMUSEMENT PARKS
Safety in
numbers
Go with as many people as you can. The more of you there
are, the smaller a target you become, and if there are zombies
(which there will be), you can always throw your friends at them
while you run away.
Look
disinterested
Don’t give off any signs or body language that you are
scared or look funny to scare. Try to walk with confidence,
boredom, or just hang out with one of your friends who gets scared
more easily than you.
Pay attention to your
surroundings
These amusement parks thrive on the element of surprise,
so keep your eyes open looking for places for scary monsters to
jump out from. Plan your route and those jump scares won’t get
you!
SCARY
MOVIES
Hands at the ready… to cover your
eyes
Don’t judge, this works! Covering your ears and closing
your eyes will keep me safe from any movie monster and I don’t care
what anyone says! Call me a baby, but when you’re having nightmares
while I’m sleeping soundly, guess who has the last
laugh.
Remember they’re just
actors
All these scary monsters and axe-weilding murderers are
just actors and they’re NOT real… I hope. No, they’re not. So just
remember, it's just a movie and they can’t actually get
you.
Cuddle with a person or a
pillow
Scary movies with someone like your significant other or
a friend can help you feel safer and secure #SafetyInNumbers AM I
RIGHT?! If you don’t have someone to cuddle with, a pillow will
also do the trick! I also like to surround myself with my stuffed
animals and hug my Build-a-Bear so I don’t feel alone... Unless
you’re watching Child's Play or something, then stuffed
animals might not be the best option.
But the best advice I can give you for any scary
situation is to distract yourself and think happy thoughts.
Whatever makes you happy -- puppies, rainbows, kittens, caramel
apples -- they will help you get through the fear.
You can try it out with Shane Dawson in
his "Try Not To Get Scared" video!
Ready for one by yourself?
If you’re not, don’t worry -- if you want to pause and
exit out, that’s fine because that may or may not be what I
did...
Happy Halloween, everybody!
