I admit it, I am scared of horror movies...why watch them?

It's fun! I find it interesting to see where the writing will go. I don't like the everyday horror film but I like the odd ball one. I like vamp films that are realistic. I love a good thriller that startles and takes you to a different place. Remember movies are for entertainment.

I love horror movies but they always haunt me at night. I can watch it but just as long as I am watching with someone :) but still I always cover my eyes hehe

I love horror movies. I have always loved horror movies. I am no scared of them, in fact I do find them quite funny. It just amazes me how stupid people are in those horror movies. I have yet to see a horror movie that would freak me out. But if you are not into them or are afraid, then you should not watch them.

When I was younger I used to have this obsession with watching horror movies--especially ghost and zombie ones. I guess it sprung from my dad's side of the family who always made me and my sister watch horror movies on Friday nights and it got even worse during the summer. Anyways, when I was in middle school I started to stop watching scary movies, because of all the nightmares I was having that occurred over, and over again every time I went to sleep. It even got to a point where I felt paranoid, and couldn't sleep in the dark or sometimes at all. I first stopped for a whole two weeks and noticed that I had no nightmares. Then I stopped all the way enjoying my non-horror filled dreams. So far it's been a whole six years without horror movies and I don't miss them at all. Comedies I do say are way better.

Well, this fact might sound weird, but I am not afraid of being alone after I watch horror movies no matter I am so frightened. I don't even understand how horror movies scare me more than the real dark places, or the fact that I'm alone in a dark place. Maybe it's because I haven't seen the real ghost.

I am with you Kostas, I do not like horror movies,,for those who do, morenpower to them,,but I can't even stand all that gruesome scene with blood ever where, body parts every and see a head chopped off give me no plesure at all...I just don't like them... I prefer comedies as well...I can watch 'The Honeymooners" for days...

I am not scared of horror movies, but I don´t like tem unless they are very well made. I have no patience for movies where the plot is just a lot of gross people (supposedly zombies) who walk around the principal characters during a great part of the movie. Then at the last moment, something absurd happens and they return to where they belong

if the horror movie is unable to make u feel scared..then its bad Horror film..lol only a real good scary film are able to make a person be really afraid and scared of a certain horror films.. i guess some people really wanna feel how to be scared..its a thrill..just like a rush during rollercoaster rdes..

I have already stopped watching horror movies for 30 decades now. You can already guess my age. I don't want to scare myself because I always dream of those scary faces.

I know how you feel. I stay away from anything that has horror in it be it a movie or a book. I get nightmares too and even when I'm awake I feel really scared. And I really get irritated when some people just don't understand and make fun of my fears. Worse, they even try to scare me just because they think it's fun.

Yes, me too, I am not used to watched such scary movie because I always imagine it every time I go to bed and when I was about to close my eyes, there, what I have been watched will flash and then it will start to replay on my mind.Sometimes, it replays also in my dreams.

After watching any movie it left some impression in my mind.For horror movies its fear,for comedies its laughter but its all sudden.Yes, after watching a horror movie I also feel trouble in sleeping that night but after that when I going to sleep next night I don't feel any problem.

Haha I was hit by an arrow in this discussion :) I love watching horror movies but it really scares me too since I have a huge and wide imaginations on things. Even though I get scared, I still want to watch it. It kinda feels like, I love the feeling of getting scared sometimes. (That is.. only sometimes) there are also times I prefer to watch comedies other than watching horrors.. Or sometimes, I want to watch dramas and wanted to cry. :D haha It really just depends upon what I feel like to do/ emote with :)

Of course, I do love horror movies. Adrenalin is what makes me keep watching, even when it all looks pretty scary. I think that after a nice horror movie you can better appreciate how safe we really live. Most of these killing freaks are imaginary and it's better that way lol.

I don't watch horror films either. It usually takes me a week to sleep properly. I don't see the point of Wanting to be scared either. I prefer mystery or dramas.

hi kostas, I like horror movie and I admit I got scared too.....but I can still sleep and watch horror movies alone. There are people who has a wide imagination. happy mylotting

Hi! Usually I don't watch horror as I prefer a good comedy or a good drama but occasionally, I'll watch a Hitchcock. Why? Because for me it's 'intelligent scary' vs. 'dumb scary'. I'm not saying that this always the case with more current films as there are some good ones (ex. Legend of Sleepy Hollow) but it would take a tall order to surpass Hitchcock or Vincent Price.

Why do people watch scary movies is the same reason why people love riding roller coasters. For the thrill the rush to finger out who is the bad guy and what are they going to do next or where did this crazy creature came from. I love watching horror movies normally afterwards I do not have trouble sleep and I never sleep alone I'm married and have two kids so someone is always in bed with me at night time.

I'M SO ON THE SAME PAGE AS YOU!!! I almost exclusively watch comedies both in FILMS and TV. I haven't enjoyed a scary movie since I was a kid, back when they were still good. They're not now, they're just a bunch of special effects and gross. I don't like dramas either. I figure I have enough drama in my own life, why do I need to watch it in film or television. I watch movies and T.V. TO GET AWAY FROM REALITY AND ENJOY MYSELF!! I have on occasion taken my kids to those vampire movies like, Twilight. That was the stupidest most boring movie I've ever seen. I object to the what film makers are programing this new generation to enjoy!! I expose my kids to classic comedies as much as possible, everything by Mel Brooks, Stand up comedians, anything funny. After a scary movie as a child, I had trouble walking home, sleeping, swimming in pools (saw a few films with sharks in swimming pools!) Now, I can't remember the last time I saw a scary movie, Oh yes, The Others, that was creepy and scary an unusually good film for the new genre of scary films. The Sixth Sense was eery and scary. But both those films mess with your mind more then actually scare a you. Outside of those two films I can't think of a scary film I've seen recently. Just don't like them much anymore.

I love watching horror movies. I remember watching movies like Hellraiser and Chuckie when I was a child. Because I was exposed to horror movies to such an early age, I do not get scared that easily. But to be honest, I do not watch horror movies to get scared. I enjoy watching them because of seeing strange characters. I have always had a fascination with weird characters, which is probably the reason I also enjoy science fiction movies too. Anyway, I watch horror movies when I get bored with watching too many comedies and action movies. However, I am not too impressed with the mainstream horror movies shown in theaters. For instance, when I watched Paranormal Activity, I actually almost fell asleep. Anyway, I have gone past the phase of getting nightmares from watching horror movies.
