I avoid horror movies as well, and the like. I don't need to prove I'm a tough guy (I'm not). I got a very lively imagination and can think myself into the weirdest ideas / illusions. No need to add fuel to the flame.

Same with me, I guess I just get more scared than other people, because I can't imagine others enjoying horror movies if they actually felt the emotional rush that I get.

Horror movies are great, its really the only kind of movie that can give you a rush like that or make you feel so out of your element. Being scared is ultimately a bad feeling, but its not like you're in any real danger. Its just fun to be scared sitting at your house and be able to get that adrenaline rush without actually being in a real life situation that creates that kind of fear

I am such an incredible wuss when it comes to being scared. I'm pretty much scared of everything.

Horror is like eating very spicy things. There is no direct enjoyment from it, only pain, but people still insist they like it.

Same here, I don't usually get scared of the thing instantly, but kind of just thinking about it alot I guess. I've also never been a big fan of suspense or things jumping out at me so most modern horror movies aren't my cup of tea.

What I'm reading is that it is "fun" to be scared. Errrrr sure I guess, though I completely disagree.

Well, I had no nightmares despite yesterday's experience so all is well!

I used to be the same way as you were when you were a little kid, but as I grew up I got over the "freaking out" thing. Now, I'll watch a scary movie if it has an interesting premise, but just for the plot. I still hate being scared, especially typical cheap "sudden-loud-noise" scares. And I simply refuse to go into haunted houses anymore for Halloween and whatnot. It's one of those things (like being introverted) that I used to consider as a flaw that I needed to fix, but now I realize that it's just part of who I am, and I shouldn't torture myself going through some dumb haunted house just to prove that I'm tough or something.

Haha, I don't believe that, but in his (quasi-)defense, it is really perplexing to people like me and him why anyone with basic human empathy would want to watch the Saw series/Hostel/any other blatant torture film. I know enough normal people that like those movies to know that you don't have to be fucked up to enjoy them, but it's just weird to me. At least I can cognitively understand why you would want to watch an action-packed and suspensful slasher movie.

I suppose they are considered scary movies. But those are more gorey imo. I was kinda talking about movies like Emily Rose and The Grudge. Just wacko movies I don't get why people watch.

Man OP, i used to be like you one time, now i am addicted to being scared, might sound fucked up, but i enjoy watching horror movies at 2AM, its just something about the feeling. I usually watch Lets plays aswel of games i have already played (People playing through games), like of Silent Hill, FEAR, all the good stuff. And i gotta say that shit freak me the fuck out (esp when the one doing the lets play is doing it blind, i.e never played it before), But i LOVE IT!

Its just the feeling of being scared to shit when you go to the bathroom at like 3 AM, after playing a good couple of hours of FEAR 1, you just fear when you look in the mirror to see like Elma (Scary kid) or something.

i couldnt imagine living without it, i mean, after a while of being scared shitless you get kinda immune to it, so it takes even more to get you to piss your pants (Its like doing drugs, each time you need more to get your high).

Its a weird world we live in

Cheers
Therick

EDIT: and im talking about GOOD horror movies that sometimes fucks with your mind, makes you feel insecure. Watch movies like, 28 days later (A MUST WATCH), the ring, the thing, rec, The Shining, etc..

I don't like gore fests because they're more gross than scary. I prefer horrors that mess with your mind. Huge fan of Stephen King (earlier works) and Robin Cook myself.
