Yeah, horror movies have given me this weird thing where if I'm up late at night walking around in the dark and I pass a mirror my brain has to go "What if you looked at the mirror and saw something in it that's not in the room" and then I'm like "stfu brain I'm about to go to sleep". But still, what if?

I reckon it's because thousands of years ago, humans who instinctively made up monsters to be afraid of were more cautious, so they survived more often when there really was a monster (or a tiger, or a snake, or something), and so they lived longer and reproduced more

Same with why your first instinct when you hear a rustling in the bushes is something dangerous. Better to be prepared to run from a pack of wolves and be delighted to see a lil opossum than it is to be prepared to see a opossum and get got by a pack of wolves

Jokes on them, my life is so dull I hope some ghosts or demons pop out at me. The amazement and curiosity that would result is worth the scare. It would mean I'm no longer in the Office Space universe

Shadow creatures constantly stalking me just outside my field of vision is a ridiculous notion, but....

One of these days, when I’m walking through pitch black darkness, these ghosts are gonna finally actually be holding knives at eye level right in front of me, waiting for me to take another step. All because I forgot to be anxious about it that one time.

Sometimes I stare through a dark doorway and think it would be scary if someone's head peeks from the side of the frame.

Anybody else then run scenarios through their head. Like if a man with an axe jumped out from behind the sofa what would my escape route be and what weapons can I pick up on the way. But what about my wife and kid. Shit I'll have to try and lead this bastard away but if he doesn't I'll have to fight him.

tf applies scare me all the time telling me they are going to change things I dont want changed.
