Please be mindful of your pets tho', some of the sounds might be too intense for their sensitive ears. Learn to enjoy the rush, absolutely but not at the expense of our fur babies, okay?

Great guide! I'd also add, have a de-stress routine set for afterwards; like a comedy movie or a good sleep. Takes away the 'after tremors'. And yes, snacks are a must, just avoid the super crunchy ones, wouldn't want to miss the whispers.

Totally vouch for the buddy system, much less scary if you have someone to laugh it off with afterwards. I ain't no chicken, but sometimes these things can really mess with your head if you're all alone.

So, ummm...you're saying I should bring my cat when I watch these? How does that work again? BTW, thanks for the tips though, still ramping up my courage to start, so the guide's really helpful.

Ugh the old 'lights on' trick, how original. You should do it in pure and definite darkness! sarcastic cackle Seriously though, one missed detail and the whole experience changes. Dive in, and let the subs shred your nerves.💀

Volume control? Nah man, if you ain't risking your eardrums you ain't doin' it right. Full blast or go home.

But seriously though, good advice. Especially the adrenaline part, that's the good stuff.

Good tips! Especially the part about cans of Pringles and getting your dog in the room. Used to have a huge German Shepherd, the damn dog could sense my heart pounding and would get all riled up during the jumpscares. I definitely second the pet advice.

Talk about survival, huh? Haha, been in this game way too long and trust me bud, it's more about the thrill. Tho gotta agree with the lights tho' – darkness just adds another layer to the scare fest. Buckle up and enjoy the ride, kiddos!
