    Strange how in the physical world, people dread fear! And yet in the "TV" world, fear can be mesmerising! An adrenalin rush!

    We all love to be scared - as long as there's no real danger.

    So that's where that picture came from! It is a bit disturbing, as are many of the horror films I cannot watch....

    LOL yes, they do have their followers. Chloe(16) loves being scared out of her wits, as long as someone else is there for her to grab a hold of... haha

    I can watch those kinds of movies for hours---and I am constantly talking to the characters--"Don't go down there, you idiot!" Your lines tell the tale, Hank.

    I cannot watch these, but I can listen to a friend tell me the entire movie in frame by frame detail without moving from my seat and I am rarely silent! I love art, I am the perpetually gullible viewer, and these movies work on me. So, you posed the argument--but I notice you give few details. Do you watch?

    I liked the horror genre better when I was younger I think. :) I still like a good horror story, but I don't like to watch those with gory stuff now.

    I used to like horror movies, but I guess age has tamed me.

    My daughter (16) loves watching them with her friends. I'll have to ask her about this one
    Me--I was terrified of cartoons as a child.

    If I have a choice between seeing a horror movie or a comedy, guess which one I'll choose every time?
