Do you get nightmares from watching scary movies?

No, I've never had nightmares about movies (I've only had about four nightmares in my entire life), but Ringu terrified me and The Fear still lingers! I sometimes get creeped out in the shower after watching Ju-on.... ew, hand! I've seen the Excorsist, didn't think much of it. My mother banned me from watching it (religious persuasions...) so I didn't get chance to see it until I was 18. I was really let down :(

Yesss!! did you saw A Nightmare on Elm Street movie with Freddy Krueger?? I could not sleep like 3 days for watching that movie i think is the only one movie that makes you get nightmares!!...

Oh hell no! I love horror movies and the gorier and creepier the better LOL but i'm just twisted like that ;-) and yes I've seen the exorcist NUMEORUS times..its a classic that never gets boring...

i rarely watch horror movies- not because i'll get nightmares but because i'll be too afraid to sleep alone in my room. i'll keep thinking of the movie or that something is there in my room and will disturb me, things like that. so I always try to avoid watching scary movies. i can't remember when was the last time i watched one haha. i'd rather watch chick flicks ;p

yes i did have a nightmares especially after seen Ju-on,Ringu and other scary japanese movies.i don't know way,but if i watch scary movies from other country i had't nightmare.only movies from japan.

The only movies that get me are ones that I can relate to. Amityville Horror got me scared because it took place in a home, and I would think about the movie at night and it would freak me out. Something like Saw doesn't give me nightmares.
