Halloween topic: Do you like scary movies?

I've never been able to be scared at a movie since I was a kid. These days I'm FAR to cynical! But yes, I saw Alien when it came out and it made an impact! And not that it's scary in the classical sense but Silence Of The Lams was one of the most intense movies I ever saw. I found it frightening.

I don't like horror movies - no thanks to watching Jason, Chucky, Freddy, and Carrie.

I like zombie movies (recent favorite was World War Z)

I like science fiction - and sometimes Alien type movies may cross into horror a little.

If you're scared of a little movie you're really going to be scared when you look out of your window and see a lion wearing a suit with a vulture wearing a suit on his shoulder. The last thing you'll hear is a mighty ROAR! that kind of sounds like "wildebeest".

I find most comical

The one's I really can't watch is a really realistic demonic possession. That freaks me the fuck out

Love si fi

If I saw a lion outside my house with a suit on, I'd grab my car keys and take him to a strip club

If I saw a lion outside my house with a suit on I would shoot his ass

Scary movies?
You mean like "Showgirls"?

In general I don't like scary movies for two reasons: 1) Most of them suck, especially newer ones. Newer ones tend to have bad acting, lazy writing, and unoriginal plots. 2) They scare me! I live alone and could never watch a truly gritty scary movie by myself. For example, The Conjuring came out a few yrs ago and a couple girlfriends and I saw it in theaters even though I don't like scary movies, and I actually enjoyed it; not super original (what scary movie is these days?), buy decent direction and acting. I've watched it a few times since, with my mom and at home with friends. But I WILL not watch it alone!

Older horror films are better... This may be a poor example, because it's not very scary, but I LOVE Rosemary's Baby. I am watching it now. It was so obscure I had a bit of a panic attack watching it the first time, and only a truly captivating film could do that and have me still wanting tl watch every second.

I used to be a huge fan of the Saw movies (even though each one was worse than the last), but again, those are more psychological and gorey. I usually hate gorey films though, with the exception of Tarantino films but he isn't horror so that's getting way OT.

Lol

"The one's I really can't watch is a really realistic demonic possession. That freaks me the fuck out"

Me too. After I saw "The Exorcist" sometime in the 70's I can't watch shit like that.

Slasher films are another story. Those don't scare me to death. I like an edge of the seat monster movie. It's the ghost story and demonic movies that scare the hell out of me.

^^^WWLD?

I don't like scary movies, I don't want to be scared shitless.

I don't like horror movies. It just seems like most people think if they make it gorier and bloodier it'll be better. I don't like gore and blood. Suspense is far scarier. I can't think of specific movies right now but I've seen movies where you don't even see the bad guy, evil entity, etc.... for a long time if ever. The not knowing is far scarier than anything.

Also, zombies. Zombie movies give me the willies. A mass of unthinking, unfeeling dead bodies that you can't reason with. A few at a time I can deal with but start sending in a swarm and my fight or flight kicks in. I just can't watch it.

I'm not into horror movies. I know it's not real and it doesn't scare me, I just never saw the point.

I like movies like The Ring, where the creepy factor is thru the roof. Never found the blood & guts fests ala Jason & Freddy to be scary at all.

We are all pussies lol
