>Are you actually scared of fiction
NTA, but funnily I never got scared by any kind of fiction (jumpscares don't count, those aren't fear, they're a reflex check) ouside of literature.
>Movies?
The closest I can think of is The Night of The Hunter, and even then I wasn't scared, more hypnotized
>Games?
Silent Hill 1 is probably the only videogame that made me uneasy
>Animation?
The most horror I can recall in animation comes from a 1975 anime series called Gamba no Bouken, specifically from the final narrative arc. It's about a group of mice who travel to a remote island that was invaded by weasels in order to save the local mice population. The final arc sees them reach the island and fight against the big bad, a huge albino weasel. You have to watch it to understand the genius of making a fucking weasel look like a supernatural entity that haunts reality like a deadly ghost.
>Books?
A lot. Literature as an horror vector is dangerous 'cause the better you are at reading, the more you write subconsciously while reading, so that you make up in your mind what the author may have implied or not, and forge specters of fearful doubts within every line of text.
I don't think Howard wrote The Tower of the Elephant to be so fearful, and Sterling did not compose A Wine of Wizardy to be horror, and yet they conjured such images in my mind that really no visual media can replicate
