Dear Parents, As the cause of your daughter's panic is the characters in the horror movie which she believes to be true, she shall overcome this panic if one of you dress up in a weird & little frightening way to show her & convince her that it's just the people like you & her who are dressed in a horrifying way. Better way is to dress up herself differently & explain. She shall understand. Also make her see that it's not blood & just red colour. Sudden exposures like this may naturally frighten children because children aren't yet developed to analyze & interpret. You may consider a consultation with a professional if she still retains her panic. Good Luck..!!
