Going against the grain, I am not a fan of horror movies. Too scary for me. 😳

<----- Doesn't at all like horror movies and will avoid them like the plague. :eek:

<shudders>

echos the above.
I have been known to enjoy psychological thrillers. I don't mind the suspense or feeling scared/ worried (especially when tucked under a protective arm) but I have no use for the slashers/ horror/ exorcism stuff.

Are you a horror movie lover? What kind or horror do you like? Favorite movies? Last really scary movie you saw?

I enjoy more psychological and suspenseful horror. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with horror movies, being drawn to them even though I know I have to watch them during the day when someone will be home that night. That I have to watch some scenes through my fingers because I know something is going to jump out onscreen.

Some favorites:
The Innocents, The Others, The Orphanage, Rosemary's Baby, Let the Right One In

Last really scary one: The original (Japanese) Dark Water

ETA: I really want to see The Babadook, but am afraid that it will just creep me out too much.

I have a love hate with horror movies. I love watching them, but hate that I jump at every scary scene and spend the next two days afraid of the dark and peeking around corners and slapping shower curtains, just in case.

“Love” paranormal ones, or slasher.

The previews and commercials for Devil (the elevator one) made me cry, I used to have to turn the radio off when they came on. 😂

I love a good ghost story. The Haunting of Hill House (the original black and white one). The Changeling. Fuck those scared me so badly. I loved it. I also loved Blair Witch.

Campy horror movies like Nighmare on Elm Street, Evil Dead, etc are fun when I’m with a bunch of friends and we are watching together.

I don’t movies that rely on all gore or things that just startle me.

Always have a girls night when the fall horror flicks come out. But someone brings a flask and we end up a bunch of moms on in a bar at 730 on a Friday night.

Can't remember the last horror film I saw.
 
Growing up...I read all sorts of scary books...and I still cant sleep at night. Weird...I am not a fan of scary movies.

I did take my 10yr old daughter to see Scary Stories You Tell At Night. I had to be brave....she was holding on to my arm so tight I had bruises. Afterward, all she talked about was how great it was. But she slept w her mom for the next week. All because of the scarecrow transformation. Lol.

Is there a song that reminds you of an ex? How does that change the song? How do you feel when you hear it?

Why waste a good tune?

What's Halloween do you most want to see in your basket? What candy is the most overrated?

I love horror movies. I say that all the time and then every single crappy PG-13, "make 12 year-old girls jump" movie that comes out, everyone says "I bet you can't wait to see that" and I die a little inside.
I can't describe the kind of horror movies I like because they are all over the place.
I can enjoy a masterpiece like The Exorcist AND a cheesefest like Return of the Living Dead and get the same level of joy out of them.
The current movies just blow chunks.

My answer to favorite movies is Halloween. Michael Myers scared me more than I have ever been scared in my life--I watched that movie when I was WAY too young and it terrified me, but I kept watching it over and over. I knew I would be scared for days after watching it, but if it was on, I would watch it.
I now love that movie and respect the hell out of how well it is made. The Jason and Freddys are fun, but they just don't have the quality of Halloween.
I could talk about this all day, so I'll just leave it there.

Everyone is entitled to one good scare. :D
 

The funniest thing about this is how oblivious I was to all the "subtext" when I was a kid watching this movie. It's so obvious it's crazy!
Sort of like the bear scene in The Shining. When Wendy looks down the hall and sees the bear and the man it freaked me out as a kid. I had no idea what was happening other than it was scary-looking as hell.

Today I get that it's just a bear blowing a butler-nothing weird about that at all. :D

I've seen quite a few, but I don't count myself as a horror movie fan. I am more inclined to ghost stories, where all the tension is psychological. Those can really mess with me. I do like a good horror movie where the victim fights back intelligently and triumphs. But, I have a hard time getting "into" the movie where either a.) the victim is an idiot or b.) the monster is just too over the top.

The last horror movie I can recall watching was with friends on-demand - that was "Wolf Creek". That was pretty wicked. Favorite (and scares the crap out of me every time I see it" is "The Others".
 
I prefer thrillers to slashers. Though as a teenage boy I did love all the boobs. Thanks hotwords and NJR for reminding me of those.
The only worthwhile scary movies are the ones with Carmen Electra in.

Well, I tend to go a bit scary, so I guess not original, but one year, like 20 years ago, I was a flasher at work and it was funny as hell. I wore a nude top, nude tights, had a hole in the front of the nude tights, in which to expose a flesh colored dildo. Put on a trench coat, and creepy flashed people around the office. It probably wouldn't fly today. I was working in the office of a weapons manufacturer, so almost all the employees were men who worked a factory line and liked hunting and fishing and drinking beer and had spit cups next to them on the line. Even the few suits were generally guys who worked their way up. Point being, there wasn't really office politics or a stuffy environment.

I have laughed at some fairly offense costumes others wore, like redneck pregnant barbie, priest/boy, apparently I am going to hell. A girlfriend who came as a trucker and kept being creepy and getting other girls to sit on her lap was funny. Toddler Chucky is a winner. There was a really well done snake costume.

I don't know if it would win as a best costume, but hands down the most awesome Halloween party I went to was themed "Alien Abduction" - it was an organized party at a hotel. As part of the RSVP (and fee) the organizers provided everyone with the same costume, and it was mandatory.

Glow in the dark alien tights with the big eyed alien full head mask. Imagine a hotel ballroom (and hotel itself) filled with hundreds of people dressed as identical glow-in-the-dark aliens. It was truly awesome, and yes, there was excessive fuckery involving people wearing alien heads.

It was without a doubt the single most memorable Halloween event I have ever attended.

I would have liked to see that/ be there. Sounds like a blast.

My favorite costume as a kid was a robot (box and duct hose arms, complete with battery operated lights down the front) I thought it was pretty cool

My favorite as an adult... I went as a tide pool. Seaweed strands woven into my hair and a garment covered with hand made fabric sea stars, mussels, barnacles and sea anemone.

As a kid, it was definitely the mummy costume that I made. Loved it.

As an adult? We usually do some kind of family theme. One year I was a plate, my wife a fork and my son was spaghetti. That was fun. Went to Boo at the Zoo in DC dressed up like that.

It was a kid tonight who was dressed as shrubbery - and would hide in people's shrubbery and jump out and scare them.

It was pretty awesome.
