In all my life I have only watched a horror film once. I have a super low immunity to this genre, and I think even your average five-year-old isn't as easily scared by horror as I am.

I'm now watching BBC's 'Remember Me', because Michael Palin. You have no idea how absolutely terrified I am, f!s. D:

(feel free to share your experience with horror, maybe? I just needed someone to know about this so that I wouldn't feel so alone in this dark and scary flat).

I am watching a horror movie right now! The Thing remake/prequel. I know it is not as good as the original (that I watched yesterday) but I just want to see what they do with the story.

I also watched the Evil Dead trilogy last weekend. I love horror movies and music.

I'm with you. I don't care to be scared, although I am a bit fascinated by how far horror movies will go and how they present stuff. But, not a fan.

What's sad is they had a top 100 scariest scenes in movies countdown (on like Chiller or something). I'm a sucker for that kind of thing and wanted to see what they had. Out of context, most of the "scary" moments didn't really translate. But some of the images freaked me out. Couldn't sleep without the lights on for a month.

The first horror movie I ever watched was the Japanese version of The Grudge, when I was probably 14, and I literally fell asleep that night at 3 AM, with the lights on, clutching a big wooden stick so that I could defend myself if necessary

You're not alone

"Remember Me" was good, especially Palin. He's such a sweetheart of a man I'd probably watch him in anything, though!

[sarillia]

Horror needs to strive for a subtle dread if it's going to get to me. Jump scares do what they're supposed to in making me jump but then I get annoyed because I don't want to spend two hours being startled. That happens to me all the time in real life. All someone has to do is walk into the room so I'm not alone anymore and that'll have the same effect. I don't need it in my movies.

[badass_tiger]

I'm exactly the same with horror movies, I can't stand jump scares and things like that. I do like creepypastas and horror novels though. I'm fascinated by horror but I like going through them at my own pace, that way I can go reeeeally slowly at the scary bits and not scare myself too much.

[dethtoll]

Man, I'm so inured to horror. I've seen tons and tons of it, played just about every big-name horror game from Resident Evil on, I used to read Stephen King a bunch, the list goes on.

It takes a lot to scare me now. But that wasn't true in 1999, where I refused to enter a certain stairwell in Silent Hill simply because of the music that played in it.

[siofrabunnies]

I love horror movies. Any kind: gory, thriller, monster, slasher, whatever! I love looking at the special effects, and how some of them are so campy. I don't usually fall for the 'scary' tricks like jump scares or scare chords, and supernatural beings don't even register on my radar. Creepy humans, though, really get to me.

I watched this one, The Sacrament, which is really hard not to spoil, but the actor playing the villain just blows it out of the park.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh I am such a wimp for horror! I have a weird fascination with the morbid and the eerie, but at the same time, it makes me uncomfortable. Still, I'd much prefer to read it, scary films are the worst because I HATE jump scares and the excessively gruesome. But not all horror films really rely on that - and I can enjoy those movies, but you never know whether or not until you've watched them yourself.

I avoid the genre for that reason, but I have to say, even though it's become a cliche, The Sixth Sense is, I think, an amazing film. I'm so glad I saw it without knowing the twist - actually going in cold, I think that twist is top quality.

[othellia]

So, like, I had my own personal narrative arc with The Ring.

For years the movie gave me terrible nightmares. It was especially bad because I can normally control my dreams and/or at least realize I'm dreaming and pinch myself to wake up, but Sadako refused to let me go. Several times I'd pinch myself and the dream would start blurring. I'd start to feel myself waking up, but then the main symbol/ring from The Ring would flash across my whole vision, and the dream would snap back into sharp focus.

Then one night back in high school, there was an even greater evil creature and Sadako and I had to team up to defeat it.

Ever since then, we've had a pretty good understanding. She shows up in my dreams every once in a blue moon, but we mostly ignore each other.

[philstar22]

Horror movies have never scared me. For some reason my brain knows it isn't real and doesn't get scared.

My favorite horror movies are more psychological ones. I really like Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon, for example. I don't mind graphic, I just prefer this sort of horror movie to slasher flics.

[cenobitic_anchorite]

I had a family member expose me to The Exorcist when I was way too young for it. Luckily I just end up loving the crap out of religious horror films. There's a lot of horror I can't handle by myself anymore (really gory stuff upsets me these days), but I thrive on rewatching stuff like The Omen or even the assembly cut of Alien 3.

When I was really little, though, I also unwisely saw RoboCop and Predator. At that age, those were horror movies. I used to bolt down hallways because I was dead certain either ED-209 was coming for me or those three little laser-beam dots were going to show up on my head.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a really anxious person, so I tend to avoid horror movies.

But I've found to my surprise recently that I'm... not as bad with horror as I thought I was?

But I really have to be in the right mood.

It helps if the horror or gore isn't that good - if it's a bit hammy or OTT. Or if I watch it with a friend who keeps commenting and making fun of it.

I've tried watching Alien before. Also considering watching The Thing.

I also watched this movie about aliens where it was framed as a therapists's interviews, the aliens were owls (I can't remember the name, sorry!) and I found I wasn't creeped out.

[herpymcderp]

Huh. It's been so long since a horror film actually scared me that I think I probably would have to start thinking back to when I was 5 just to remember that feeling.

I keep watching them just trying to find something that might actually do it, but I never have any luck (Contracted came close last year, just for the superbly-realized body horror and very realistic date rape scene).

[(Anonymous)]

I actually get a lot more scared by video games... because you ARE the player character and you can't run away from the monsters.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh man, horror is like my bread and butter. Personally, I love horror because it epitomizes and encapsulates so much of the horrific in the human experience, that it ends up cathartic for me.

I mean, if you took my history as a person, and pitched it as a script for a horror film, it would seem incredibly fitting for the genre. So for me, horror is kind of a sensemaking device.

[cloud_riven]

Even though you are apparently a scaredy cat, and thus probably a bad guage for scariness, I'll be looking into that show now :O

I watch a lot of whatever is available on Netflix, so it ends being that I fail to remember the titles of not only what was terrible, but also what was great. Gorn doesn't really do much for me, as it's the context of how it happens that will give me the chills. That also ties into supernatural type horror, where it's not so much seeing the monster as the terrifying idea of it I've built it up to be in my head, which is more to do with imposing presence than an actual visual.

Campy horror is still entertaining though. I'll still watch a Final Destination, Evil Dead, and a Scary Movie just because they're fun.

[aenrhien]

I adore horror movies personally, but most of them don't really seem to scare me and didn't when I was really little either (most of them actually make me laugh). I've never seen Remember Me though, I might have to watch it during my annual Valentine's Day horrorfest.

I'm sorry you're scared though. I recommend a cuddly stuffed toy and chocolate, if either of those are to your liking.

[nightscale]

I like horror movies in theory, or at least I like a well crafted story that scares the bajeebus out of me but I always regret it when I try to sleep because my brain will turn it against me.

I'm especially bad with anything involving mirrors, if that shit crops up no matter how mild it is I wont sleep for days. I'm also bad with zombies, buuuuut I've found that I've actually managed to make myself a little bit less-scared of them over the years(not entirely though because I randomly get blindsided by sheer terror if I watch a zombie film sometimes, it's weird. I made you okay with them brain, stick to it dammit!).

[caerbannog]

I tuck my feet up and tend to pit the lights on before settling in to a good horror.

Not so keen on psychological thriller. Much prefer over done nature fight back horrors.

[(Anonymous)]

I watch a lot of horror but what happens is that I'll watch a lot of horror films at a time until I feel like my nerves can't take it anymore, then I lay off for a month or more, at which point I'll go and watch some more.

[(Anonymous)]

I can't STAND horror. I have too active an imagination for that shit. You wanna know how long I got nightmares from The Brave Little Toaster? And the bubblegum monster from Ghostwriter? YEARS. YEARS AND YEARS.

[tabaqui]

Oh, man.
If the horror movie does it right? I'm a fucking mess. I mean - i have trouble going down into the basement on a *good* day, but post-horror movie day? Forget it. Daytime only, only if the animals will follow me down.

Stuff like Friday the 13th don't bother me at all, or zombie movies, but stuff like 'Pet Semetary' or 'The Woman in Black'? Holy crap.

I like horror movies that are done well, but omg, i just can't watch 'em much.

The written word is more effective at scaring me than visual media. Someone suggested Anansi's Goatman Story in a thread here the other day and it got me jumpy in the dark for days.
