The plots really make you stop and wonder if that kind of thing could actually happen to anyone. I remember seeing an article online about actual cases where parents killed their own child because they were convinced the kid was possessed by a demon. Plus, everyone knows there are plenty of documented cases involving possession out there...
That's exactly why they're scary—because you know this stuff exists or has happened in real life somewhere.
Sure, they stand out psychologically, and true horror is way more engaging anyway (if you ask me).
As for the whole possession thing, yeah, it happens in the world, but that isn't exactly a reason to live in fear.
You're probably scared because you think it could happen to you, but what are the odds of you specifically being possessed by a demon? Honestly, zero.
