It seems I can't even ask a question on horror films without some weirdo I've never met going on about how "sick" and "depraved" I am for liking them, and how they "should kill all my family" to "see how I like it".
Does anybody else get this?
Because if you're going to think along the lines of liking horror films = sadistic maniac, then surely you could also argue that people who like action films are murderous becuase the protagonist regularly shoots hundreds of innocent people; or you could argue that people who watch romance films are just perverts who enjoy watching people make out and have sex.
Anyway, I'm NOT looking for a fight, (and I'm definitely not calling anybody a sadist or a pervert) but I'm just curious to know what you guys think, and whether you've had the same irritating experiances form people who don't know you?

Some people should get a life. I love horror films and part of the reason that i enjoy them so much is because it is fiction. Having said that, I also love watching true to life films-loved the Jeffrey Dahmer one but my favourite one was A Deliberate Stranger about Ted Bundy. I like to try and understand why they do these things (can't very often). Do these people think that we watch a film and then think of playing it out or something. They are the weird ones-you keep on watching.

My mom thinks that watching to much horror movies will mess up my brain. My grandma thinks horror movies are a sign you like the "darker" side and that it is evil.
In reality, watching horror movies is all harmless fun.
There is no reason anyone should say those things to you because you like watching some horror movies.
Personally, horror and gore movies are my favorite! It doesn't mean I'm a sadistic maniac AT ALL. People should not be judged on what movies they like.

Never really experienced that sort of thing myself but people that say that are probably more depraved than you if they're capable of saying such things. Let's see the following statements
I like watching horror films vs I should kill all your family to see how you like it.
I think it's obvious who's more sick in the head here.

If people didn't watch horror films then they wouldn't be made in the first place. I love reading the books but can't watch the films cos I miss most of it from hiding behind the cushion!! The people who judge you for watching them are obviously small minded and uninformed. Ignore them.

Don't let it get to you. People can't like everything. Never let someone who doesn't know you get to you.
People who have a mentality that television, movies, music and video games can make a person violent, don't understand human behavior. And you'll never be able to make them understand and it's not worth trying. Would it be better for them to not say anything at all? Probably, but that won't happen. Like I said, don't let it bother you. You know you aren't a serial killer and watching horror films won't make you one.

I like what i like! Which are also horrors! I dont give a s*it what anyone would want to say about that, all people are different and have different tastes. I dont like chick flicks (cant stand em more like) but i wouldn't dream of calling people names etc that do like em.
So all you horror haters BACK OFF and leave us horror lovers alone!
There that should do it! Hope you feel better now that you no your not on your own. *lol*

I didn't know that people DID condem others for watching horror films?!
Usually someone just says to me ... "oooh, I don't like all that blood & gore...!" but to 'Condem' someone for preferring a horror film... that's a bit much!
"For watching Horror Films... I CONDEM you to a life behind bars!!"
