The prompt that gets copied
Help me watch scary movies I'll actually enjoy. I'm fine with [WHAT YOU CAN HANDLE, e.g. over-the-top or supernatural gore], but [WHAT STAYS WITH YOU, e.g. realistic injuries and body harm] stays in my head for weeks. Movies I handled well: [MOVIES YOU LIKED, e.g. Scream, The Conjuring]. Scenes I wish I hadn't seen: [SCENES THAT BOTHERED YOU, e.g. the cliff scene in Midsommar]. First, sum up my limits in three bullet points so I can correct you. Then for [MOVIE TO WATCH, e.g. a new horror release], search parents guides, reviews and scene breakdowns and tell me: a 1 to 10 fit score for me, each scene that crosses my line with the sound or moment that signals it's coming, roughly when it happens, and when it's safe to look back. Keep plot spoilers to a minimum and say clearly when you're unsure.
Teach ChatGPT exactly which kind of scary bothers you, using movies you've already seen. Then get a spoiler-light heads-up for any new movie, with what to look away from.
