Jennifer Lawrence decided to star in a horror movie to overcome her fear of scary films. The Hunger Games actress made a unusual career choice by agreeing to appear in new film House at the End of the Street so she could try and beat her aversion to the genre.

"In real life I'm terrified of horror movie. If I want to watch one, I have to plan out the next three months of my life, because I'll know I'm going to be afraid of everything - afraid of the dark, afraid of my own shadow. I thought if I had the experience of actually being in one it would make me less afraid seeing them. I'll have to see how that one works out."

The 22-year-old star has recently changed her hair to a much darker color for the next installment in the The Hunger Games franchise, but she is still getting used to the change and sometimes she doesn't recognize her own reflection because of the style switch: "The color is hard for me to get used to because I've always been blonde. If I wake up in the middle of the night to pee and catch myself in the mirror, I think, 'Whoa! Who's that?' I scare myself."
