Why is it that half of the movies in the theaters now are horror flicks? i absolutely hate scary movies and don't understand this at all.

People like them, & directors know that horror movies get people to the theatre so they'll make $. It's smart on the director's part, but not good for people like me who hates the PREVIEWS of horror flicks, let alone the actual MOVIE in its entirety.

To each his/her own. Some like comedies, I think they are senseless, but I love horror and suspense. It at least makes you think and you keep you interest. I like love stories also but horror is my favorite. It has to have a story though, not like Friday the 13th or Halloween where they just keep killing. I liked the Messengers, I love movies like Silence of the Lambs, etc.

For the same reason they were in the 1930's. The world is depressing and people look for an escape.

Everyone likes to jump and get scared most of the time.

Because they're being shown on that big screen. Wait 'til you get 'em on dvd. They won't be so 'big' on your television screen. Just wait for it ;-)
