Scary films remedy

I just watched Shutter Island and it's a GREAT MOVIE. The only problem is that it's too much of a thriller. I was fearing for my life the entire time. To protect myself, I used the most effective protective stance: I pulled a blanket up to the bottom of my nose and watched the movie through my fingers. The movie never attacked me. Feeling good and a little bit fearful after the movie ended, I made sure to feel better about myself afterwards - I'm watching Monster's VS Aliens. So far, I'm feeling better.
