Maybe it was a horror movie viewing at home? And OP said "paralyzed with fear" so his or her fear made it inpossible to move.

If it was at home she should have just stopped the movie.

why is everyone thumbing down my comment? xD anyway, maybe they couldn't think right through the fear. happens sometimes

"Inpossible"

omg XD i was so tired when I typed that! thanks for pointing it put :)

"whilst I was paralyzed by fear"

She could've closed her eyes, though...

Do you not understand the concept of paralysis? It means you can't move whatsoever, that includes eyes lol

answers: 1 + 2: paralyzed with fear meant an inability to move. 3. maybe the boyfriend was so exhausted, he passed out as soon as he relaxed to watch the movie.

It's just an expression, 16. I doubt OP was actually paralyzed. Especially since nothing scary ever happens just 10 minutes into a horror movie.

The movie itself might not have been scary yet, 19 - especially for people who don't have a fear of horror movies. But if OP is that scared of the very idea oh horror movies they may well have been to scared to think logically.

@19 I thought the same too until obese the grudge. they dove right into the scary stuff from the get-go.

If the mere idea of a possibly scary movie scares you so much you can't turn it off, move, or even think about doing those things, YDI. she should watch more scary movies to stop that from happening. I wonder how well she does in actual dangerous situations.

#44 to be fair, a lot of scary movies don't include "real life" scary situations. Like I doubt I'll ever have to face demons, zombies, vampires, spirit exorcisms, etc... in my day-to-day life. So I'm sure in regular dangerous situations, she will do just fine. If it was just dangerous situations, then action flicks would terrify her too, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
