Is it normal to be afraid of movie theaters?

Is it normal to be afraid of movie theaters? It's not the dark or the movie, but just the theater itself. I can watch movies but not in a theater, I am not afraid of the dark.

Is It Normal?

  • That’s the first time I’ve heard about this phobia but it does exist. It’s called cinematophobia so you’re not the only person that has this fear.

  • I met a lady who couldn't bear to go see a movie in the theater for like seven years.

  • I only worry about catching Scabies or bed bugs in theater seats. But you can get those in restaurants, libraries, buses, everywhere. So we're screwed basically.

  • So it's irrational? It's a phobia then. Not normal, though lots of people have phobias.
