#it scares the shit out of me for unexplicable reasons
Note
Prompt: Movie night! Stephen finds most horror movies comical because of what he does, but Tony's too proud to admit he's afraid of scary movies.
As far as the bad guy in the horror movie is a real person, someone in flesh and blood, someone you can pinpoint and who has a face, horror movies are not a problem for Tony either. If he can see them, he knows the main characters are going to save the day because that’s how movies work, that’s the message they want to give you. He quite enjoys those enough to watch them. It’s not his favourite genre, but he can go through the movie without jumping on the sofa every time. 
Tony’s problem, though, with the movies in which there’s a case of possession, of demonic entities. Stephen isn’t bothered at all, about those, quite the opposite: he’s always there calling bullshit on whatever isn’t similar and/or credible in exorcisms and in the creatures’ anatomy. 
Tony is too proud to voice the fact that he doesn’t like this kind of horror movies, let alone that those freak him out. That’s until they watch Insidious, the first one. Everything is perfect (actually Tony is trying not to watch at the screen, but still) until he sees Dalton. It takes half a second to Tony to make the connection - that is half of the reason why Stephen chose that movie in the first place - but when he does he takes the remote and switched the thing off looking straight at his wizard. “You are not making me see my perfect snarky baby being possessed! No, that’s where I draw the line!”
Stephen and Harley tease him about Insidious forever throwing comments to each other and/or quoting the movie every now and then.
