Watching Scary Movies on iPhone?

Watched The Exorcist on iPhone yesterday in the dark alone. Wasn't scared. Actually laughed at a lot of parts. Does iPhone watching take away the scary experience? Want to watch The Ring but don't want to watch on iPhone if it'll take away the scares.

I think it takes away some of the experience. The fun in horror movies is being scared by the loud sound and such.

The bigger the screen, the larger the scream.
