I’ve had 2 sleep paralysis episodes in my life and both of them were themed around The Grudge. I’ve never really been scared by horror movies before or since I saw that at the cinema as a teenager, but for some reason that movie rocked me. It also started my lifelong obsession with Ju-On (though I have never rewatched The Grudge) and Asian horror in general.
Kayako is the ultimate ghost villain; once you are cursed, you are fucked. There is no protection ritual, no solving of unfinished business, no escaping a haunted location. She can get to you anywhere, any time of day. She can distort reality to trap you and even time travel. I have goosebumps while writing this comment!
I've also had two episodes of SP but I didn't know what they were until after the first one, which was a generic old "witch" sitting on my chest. However, by the time I got the second one I had read up enough about it that I thought it wouldn't be so bad - nope, it was just as terrifying of not more so because I knew what was happening and couldn't really do anything about it
my sp episodes usually consist of me being bound in some way, usually by and invisible force. my first one was really horrifying, with my vision going all red and black, and the one thought racing through my mind being "you have to wake up". now they're usually just met with feelings of annoyance that I can't simply wake up, lol.
also recently began gaining the ability to lucid dream, which has had some scary results as well. one time where it happened, I was in a messed-up version of an old childhood house, and I kept calling out "hello" to see if anyone would help me. another one was where I was looking in the mirror, sad that I had three eyes. then, I became lucid because I remembered that I'm not supposed to have three eyes.

Watching that as a little kid was not a good idea lol
