Is it normal to like jump scares?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to enjoy jump scares. The sudden jolt and rush afterward can feel exciting when you know you’re safe.

A jump scare gives you a quick burst of adrenaline, and for some people that feels thrilling rather than unpleasant—especially in a horror movie or haunted house, where you know it’s all pretend. The anticipation can be part of the fun, too.

People are split: some love getting startled, while others would rather not have their heart leap into their throat. Neither reaction is weird; it’s just a matter of what kind of excitement you enjoy.
