5 Zodiac Signs Who Can't Sleep After Watching Horror Movies

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - Some people love horror movies and fall asleep just fine after. But for others, it is a completely different story; every shadow looks like a ghost, and every sound feels like a threat. If this sounds familiar, you might be one of the zodiac signs who can't sleep after watching horror movies.

Astrology says that some signs feel emotions more deeply, think more, or have stronger imaginations than others. These traits are wonderful in daily life, but after a scary film, they become the very reason sleep feels impossible.

So, which signs keep checking under the bed at 3 AM? Here are five zodiac signs most likely to regret pressing "play" on that horror film.

Cancer feels everything very deeply. During a horror movie, they do not just watch the story — they live it. They feel the fear of every character as if it is their own. After the movie ends, their mind does not stop. Every dark corner of the house feels dangerous, and they need someone nearby to feel safe. Cancers are natural worriers, and a single scary scene can stay in their head for days, making sleep almost impossible.

Pisces lives in a dreamlike world full of emotions and imagination. This is a beautiful trait — until a horror movie turns that imagination against them. When the credits roll, their creative mind starts to build new scary stories on its own. They will picture monsters in the hallway and hear sounds that are not there. Pisces also has trouble separating fiction from how they feel inside, so the fear from the film becomes very real to them during the night.

Virgo might look calm during a horror movie, but inside, their brain is working very hard. They are natural overthinkers. After the movie, they will replay every scene, analyse every scary detail, and start asking questions like "Could this really happen?" This habit keeps them wide awake. Virgo also tends to worry about safety, so after watching a home invasion or supernatural film, they will check every door, every window, and every closet before even trying to sleep.

Libra loves peace, comfort, and balance — everything a horror movie destroys. They dislike conflict even in real life, so seeing people suffer on screen is deeply uncomfortable for them. After the film, Libra feels emotionally unsettled and cannot find that sense of calm they need to sleep. They will want to talk about the movie all night to process it, but even talking does not fully help. Their need for harmony makes fear linger much longer than it should.

Gemini will tell everyone they are totally fine after watching a horror movie. They might even laugh about the scary parts. But that is just their social side talking. Once they are alone in the dark, their fast and restless mind takes over. Gemini thinks quickly and in many directions at once, and at night, all those thoughts turn into fear. One part of them says "it is just a film," while the other part is already imagining what is hiding under the bed.
