Is it wrong for christians, catholics, ect. to watch scary horror movies? Such as the devil inside, or movies about evil spirits or about exorcisms..? What do you guys think??

Just because you watch the movie it doesn't mean you worship the devil or anything. I'm not religious at all, but if i was I wouldn't ignore a movie because of it. It is just a movie, just because you watch it; it doesn't mean you believe in it. Just because you watch a scary movie about the devil doesn't mean you have to go out and do a ouija board. Just because the movie does it, it doesn't mean you should. If you do something after watching a movie then it's your choice it's not what the movie makes you do.
Im catholic and it is wrong to believe and worship ouija boards and go to fortune tellers and believe what they say. its actually a sin to bleieve in that stuff. butttttt, watching scary movies or having scary story time is not wrong. Plus, most scary movies are things that happen to people and they get murder. Ouija boards on the other hand is talking to evil (most the time) spirits. Scary movies are just watching things happen thhat scare you. Its not bad. Its kinda like someone jumping out behind a corner and scaring you. Its not a sin to scream out of fear.
Exorisms though, people have different views on. Some people believe in them weather your catholic or not. Im not 100 on what the church says about them but i think that it is wrong to believe in that too. idk. I personally love scary movies and i dont really believe in exorcisms. Guess i would have to see it to believe it...
No its npot wrong at all I watch them all of the time and I'm catholic, I honestly believe that just by watching that doesn't mean you are going to believe in the devil. It's just a movie.

No, a movie is a movie. Doesnt matter what you believe. If you are strong with your faith then nothing will make you change your beliefs.
Well i love scary movies but my mom complains that as a christian i should not be watching that stuff
