I do not like watching horror movies or tv shows. I prefer not to watch anything in that genre unless I like the premise of the story. I did like Magandang Gabi Bayan's ghost special back when I loved watching TV.
Some movies I did watch too, like The Ring and Feng Shui but most scary movies I just don't prefer to watch. Ever since I saw something on TV about the Moai as a kid and had a scary dream, er, nightmare about it, I refused to watch anything scary. I think I just glimpsed the head figures from a non-scary show but it gave me a nightmare and I have no idea why. Hmmm.
With that said however I can't help but continue watching the TV show Constantine. Yes it's got some supernatural stuff going on and not much I would consider horror but it is filed under the horror genre. Guess I only like watching shows like Constantine but I can't tolerate the rest. Oh and I like X-Files too. So maybe I like horror after all just not the usual ghosty stuff.
I think the Halloween and All Soul's Day spirit is around the corner again since it's October. So what are you watching right now or what scary show/s have you watched recently?

I haven't watched horror movies for some time. I think the last one I watched was Paranormal Activity. I'm more into psychological thriller than horror.

Oh psychological thrillers sounds okay too. I didn't watch Paranormal Activity even if a lot of people were watching it when it was shown. No way I'd watch stuff like that.

@owstalaga I remember watching it with my sisters. I don't think I'd watch movies like that alone.

On our previous visit to the cinema with the family, we went to watch Mission Impossible 5 while my in-laws were in another movie (local Chinese production) with the same screen time. The family is never a fan for horror movies which could have negative impact to our normal life.
My daughters and me are quite timid by nature, so it would be more advisable to be aware of what is relatively happening around us than bringing in special effects to create unforeseeable phobias.

Oh I like action/adventure movies too rather than horror. So much better than scaring ourselves with ghost stories.

I do not like scary movies.. I don't enjoy being scared, and even as an adult there have been some movies that have given me nightmares. Signs was a movie that gave me nightmares for months. I prefer kids movies at Halloween time, things that are Halloween related, but not at all scary.

Signs gave you nightmares? Oh boy. I liked that movie when I saw it. Didn't think it was much of a horror movie.
Yeah any kiddie show usually aren't too scary and that's better than getting nightmares.

Me too I don't go out of my way to watch any new horror shows out there at all. Don't want to get nightmares and be scared of the dark.

Oh but how about watching shows online? We don't watch TV at all but we watch shows online.

Hmm never heard of that. Guess we're in the same boat for not liking horror then.

Cool. I haven't seen an episode of that but I used to watch Elementary but I got bored on the 2nd season.
I like mystery/supernatural shows more than horror or scary paranormal stuff.
