Anyone here like me, you DON'T like watching horror movies/TV shows?

I'm serious, I hate horror movies and TV shows.

[IADEMO2004]

1. I'm in. Don't care for horror.

[defacto7]

2. I think both are a waste of time.

I really can't remember how many years it's been since I've watched a TV show.

3. I hate horror, fantasy, sci fi, .

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. I don't like the gory ones.

I do like the creepy, menacing ones where you never see the monster.

[spooky3]

5. Me too.

[nancy1942]

6. Ditto.

7. Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolf Man

The Twilight Zone, I love them all.

8. I hate horror movies.

I like a good suspenseful plot, and I like getting scared and surprised, but all the senseless blood and guts just grosses me out. Its as if the screenwriters just throw in one gory scene after another because the plot is so weak and it's easier to apply some latex and pour on the fake blood.

9. Yup, and horror movies have the most cliches of any genre.

[Orrex]

15. Sure, other than rom-coms, police procedurals, westerns, musicals, sci-fi and lawyer movies

[FSogol]

17. LOL.

10. Same here.

Ditto "fun houses." I never could understand why some people think having themselves scared or horrified out of their wits is "entertainment." And yes, I know it's all fake, but it doesn't matter.

Friends have said, "Come on, it'll be fun!" and my reaction is always a nonnegotiable "No, thanks, but you go right ahead." I've canceled movies at home early for being scarier or gorier (or dumber) than expected and refuse to expose myself knowingly to so-called "entertainment" that gives me no pleasure whatsoever.

That being said, here's a great list of Halloween-appropriate movies that are entertaining rather than scary: 15 Halloween Movies for Wimps. You're welcome!

11. Not a big fan of the horror genre - movies, TV...

...shows, or books. Shoot, I jump out of my skin if my husband comes up behind my while my hair dryer is running and I haven't heard him. Terrifyng myself is not my idea of entertainment.

Haven't ever read a Stephen King book, and don't plan to.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Nope, me either.

I do enjoy mysteries, but horror movies/shows are not my thing...

[Polly Hennessey]

13. Hate them.

[TexasProgresive]

14. Me too.

I like movies and books that tell a story, with good character development. I've read a few King books Salem's Lot comes to mind that were very well done, but all in all I don't care for horror.

[WinkyDink]

16. Hate all movies heavily dependent on CGI.

[FSogol]

18. I like classic horror films, but dislike the type that are just an excuse for graphic violence.

And I love the goofy ones like:

[Beringia]

19. Don't like them either

I used to like Dracula, Frankenstein when I was a kid, and have liked some thriller movies, but in general don't like horror movies and avoid them.

20. Grade B and C films are abominations. That's 98% of horror flicks.
