Do you like horror movies?

Do you like horror movies?
I am too scared to watch them lol When I was younger I watched the ring and couldn't sleep for months... I still think something will come out of my TV!

I am now brave enough to watch X Factor at least! Lol Got nightmares from the grandma with red eyes haha

 

[Midoriya]

Not really. Not because I find them scary, but because most all of them bore me to death. Very rarely can I ever find a good one that interests me...

 

[Romaki]

I don't like jumpscares or gore, but in general I find horror movies have more interesting concepts.

 

[Kitsuragi]

i love horror, but horror MOVIES (western ones) are really keen on relying on jumpscares and ghosts. which i hate.

 

[Jacob]

I love horror movies so much

 

[idiotdoomspiral]

I love them dearly and im so full from Creepy pasta yum that i think ive developed an immunity to being spooked by any horror movie that comes out due to the genre already scarring 8 year old me religiously watching The Grudge clips on youtube.com and ruining my life

 

[MiniPocketWorld]

Absolutely not. Most of them are gross or funny to me so I laugh at inappropriate things/times. If I want to laugh, I'd rather find a comedy genre movie to watch, or YouTube.

Do I like horror movies? Do I need to breathe oxygen, eat food and drink water to survive? The answer to all of those questions is a resounding yes! To the surprise of absolutely no one who has seen my posts on these forums over the years.

Horror movies have basically always been a part of my life. My first exposure to a horror movie came at a very young age, probably around 3 or 4, when I saw the original Child's Play from 1988. Despite what one might expect, the movie never scared me back then and throughout my life I've never been scared of horror movies. I also played the original Mortal Kombat around 3 years old since my older sibling had a copy for the Sega Genesis, so I was always able to recognize that what happens in movies, shows and games is just happening in the movie, show or game, that the monster or killer or whatnot isn't real, and I don't need to be scared of it. I enjoy horror movies for the atmosphere, the stories, plots and characters, the oftentimes awesome music, and cool practical effects.

I love horror so much that I run a month-long horror movie marathon throughout the month of October every year leading up to and including Halloween day, and oftentimes including November 1st and 2nd to incorporate the Mexican holiday of Día de los Muertos. It's a mix of trying to watch movies, new or old, that I haven't seen before as well as watching movies that I've already seen and know I love.

Horror, when done well, is my favorite genre. That said, there's a lot of crappy horror out there if you don't know what quality stuff to look for.

I like the classic horror films, mostly for their aesthetic rather than because they're genuinely frightening or well-written, though. But I find most western horror movies to be sensory overload more than actually scary. There are exceptions, of course. I like Silence of the Lambs, and there are movies with horror elements such as Jurassic Park that are some of my favorites. But generally speaking, I'm kind of apathetic to horror as a genre.

 

[moonbyu]

yup! i like the more psychological stuff though. sometimes the supernatural stuff is much too cheap for me.

 

[Captain Jigglypuff]

Sort of. I like watching the creative kills in the genre. But I’m not really into horror movies either.

 

[CylieDanny]

I love paychological, or not in ypur fa w gorw, not that I can't handle it, I just, would rather not have it in my face,

I think *Get Out* is my favorite movie of that genre. Its really cool, and Jordan Peel is amazing. Nope was also really good.

Theres a few gorey ones I dint mind. Texas chainsaw wasnt aweful but its one id only watch ones.

Don't breath was one of my favorites, and happy death day. Comedy horror needs way more recognition in my opiniion if done right of course, and not something like, Scary Movie.

But yeah horror movies rock.

 

[Peach_Jam]

not really, unless the horror aspect is sort of a backseat theme and not the main focus.

 

[Croconaw]

They aren’t really my thing to be honest. Movies aren’t my thing in general, though.

 

[Darcy94x]

me and my cousin once had a three week ongoing horror movie marathon. It was actually great memories to look back on. I remember one night we were watching Annabelle and I took a break and went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea, he hid on the stairs to jump scare me and BOY WAS I MAD (& scared!)

But to answer your question, yes I like horror movies

 

[KittenNoir]

Yes I love horror movies I’m so keen for Halloween this year!!!!!

 

[Kirbyz]

im personally not a fan of horror movies unless its a horror aspect included in animation/claymation movies, such as coraline, which is one of my favourite movies. actual real-life horror movies are uninteresting to me and i dont find them scary; i get bored not even halfway through. i do enjoy true horror documentaries and stories however!

 

[VernalLapin]

I don’t watch a whole lot of movies, much less horror movies, so I voted no. I like a lot of analog horror, I watch youtube videos about true horror events because they’re really interesting (but sad), and Kane Pixels’ backrooms series on youtube was very fascinating (I’ve been obsessed with the backrooms from the time I first saw that first iconic image). So generally, I prefer other mediums of horror.

 

[.: Meri :.]

Some of them, sort of! Specifically, sometimes my mom and I like to make fun of them occasionally ahahaha. Found footage is our favorite genre to poke fun at, but we watch some others too. I'll avoid any with any themes/content warnings that I'd find genuinely upsetting, but general horror monsters don't really spook me all that much.

...Not that I'll watch them right before bed, mind you.

 

[oak]

No because then they get incorporated into my dreams for weeks
