Yeah, I'm like that with my horror movies in general, too. I don't mind an occasional monster flick, and there's a few that have had their creepy moments, but I'm much more into the psychological horror and the real life things that can happen when it comes to horror movies.

Your Michael Myers image is a perfect example. One of the scariest things about 'Halloween' is it deals with something that could actually happen to somebody.

Hmmm. I totally disagree - I love weird, supernatural horror, whether it's something slightly spooky or totally terrifying. It's nice to have it slightly distanced from the real world, to me, and it's just more interesting - I guess I feel like we already know how bad human beings can be, you know?

But at the same time, I totally love Halloween, partly because it's a fantastic movie but also partly because Michael Myers always seemed like he was kind of supernatural in a way. He was so purely evil and such a lurking ominous force. The character just felt detached from anything realistic. It's probably one of my favorite things about the movie tbh

I enjoy elements of both. Which probably explains why my ideal horror would be something that has enough realism for it to be almost impossible to have a super natural explanation...and yet there's just enough of a psychological element to cause doubt. In real life I'm a complete sceptic when it comes to ghosts etc so I'd love a story that does just enough to make you think "hmm maybe" without going too much into the realms of magical fantasy.

I'm ok with the "oh look it's definitely a monster" kind of flicks but I find things that play with the reality I know more enjoyable. I like the idea that it's the brain going into overdrive in a stressful situation and imagining things that aren't there. So I guess I see where you're coming from in a way.

Hmm.

I like some of both because Halloween (1978) is one of my favorites, but American Werewolf in London is also one of my favorites. And my favorite of all movies, Aliens, is definitely a sci-fi action horror movie. But what I don't really go for is the torture porn horror movies. And sometimes if the gore is too realistic and too much, I can't watch.

Silence of the Lambs and Scream are good but I also really like Poltergeist (1982) and Monster Squad. And then there are things like Cube and Happy Death Day which have sci-fi and fantasy elements, but those elements aren't really the source of the carnage.

I like it all, but I enjoy it a little more when the horror is grounded in reality. Or at least it's a little scarier to me that way.

[greghousesgf]

Me too. People like Norman Bates and Annie Wilkes actually exist. Vampires and ghosts aren't real.

[(Anonymous)]

This is exactly the reason, why I prefer horror movies without an supernatural element. It just isn't as scary to me, because I keep thinking how it "unrealistic" and something that couldn't ever happen to me. People like the ones you mentioned...I don't even want to walk to the bathroom alone :D

[nightscale]

I'm kind of the same, I do like my serial killers over ghosts/supernatural things but I still like supernatural shenanigans in horror too.

I very much have a preference for fantasy/sci-fi the rest of the time though, I like magic and shit in media.

[(Anonymous)]

I think I kind of see it as two different genres: the supernatural/paranormal/fantasy horror and the more reality-based, almost-true-crime horror. I don't like one over the other because I don't like either much, but I totally get why people would have a preference.
