Anyone else not like horror movies/haunted houses?

[sam_gordon]

They're just not for me. I went to one haunted forest in college, but that's because I was trying to meet girls. lol. I'm just not into being scared.

 

[TippyThomas]

I've never experienced either and really have no desire to change that. I don't get the 'fun' in being scared or horrified.

I don’t like horror movies or movies with excessive violence and I’ve not been in a haunted house in decades. I am definitely not a fan.

I'm sure there is a lot of us! I used to hate the line at Kong at Universal when they had scare actors in the line jumping out at you.

I saw the original Halloween movie with a boyfriend in HS, hated it. Saw Poltergeist with college roommates, that one gave me nightmares. I sometimes avert my eyes during movie previews in the theater.

Not a fan. Went through a very dark and graphic haunted house in Niagara Falls (?) with my parents when I was about 6yo. Hands reaching out and grabbing me, disturbing scenes much too mature for kids... parents made me keep going till the end. I finished sobbing tears. Was awful, and have avoided those experiences ever since.

Not a fan of either!! Never had the interest in something that would scare the crap out of me.

I am not a fan of horror movies. I am not a fan of haunted houses created by the living for the sole purpose of scaring others. I prefer a calm, peaceful life, without huge bursts of adrenaline.

I have no issues with being in a building that allegedly has spirits who roam within. I have stayed in hotels where there have been sightings of spirits and supernatural phenomena. I have visited historic sites that are reported to have spirits attached, although I have not seen any. My mom saw a spirit in the house I grew up in.

 

[CdnCarrie]

Nope not a fan. Never liked horror movies.

I have a very heightened startle reflect, like if I’m on the treadmill in the basement please announce you are coming down the stairs. Haunted houses are definitely off the table. I do not like horror movies, but I like mentally scary (Stephen king is my favorite author, used to stay up reading because I couldn’t put books down).

Saw a version of Dracula where he bit into a baby's chest. blood all over. Such unnecessary gore, and so disgusting.

When I was a kid I was ok with them, but after I turned 25 I was done with both of them - not a fan

 

[Buzz Rules]

I don't like most new horror movies.

 

[tvguy]

Not a fan. Although in the case of movies, not many out there of any theme that interest me.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I like classic horror, think of the Universal horror movies of the 30s, and silent horror like The Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney and Nosferatu. Genuinely creepy, which I don't mind. Most of the horror movies of today are just jump scares and murder films.

I loathe haunted houses and haunted hayrides or whatever. I last went on one at Knoebel's because it was an old dark ride and I was curious (Knoebel's 'rescues' older attractions from various parks around the world and gives them new life.) It was really scary and I didn't like it at all.

 

[lynxstch]

I didn't used to mind horror movies, now they gross me out and I skip them.

Not a fan of haunted houses, someone scared the heck out of in one when I was younger and that was the end of them for me

 

[soccerdad72]

Not a fan either. The only times I can remember either watching horror movies or going to haunted houses was because friends were going (or I had to accompany one of my kids when they were younger).

 

[Dug720]

Psychological thrillers I like.

Blood and guts horror I don't.

Don't do haunted houses either (other than the Disney mansions).

Honestly I don't get the obsession (sorry, "fascination") with Halloween either.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Older horror movies, fine; new ones, really more violence than old fashion horror, no. The houses, did one, not a fam.

 

[goooof1]

I'll skip the horror !

They're just not for me. I went to one haunted forest in college, but that's because I was trying to meet girls. lol. I'm just not into being scared.

The only scary/Halloween stuff I like is at Disney. Anything else/more is a hard pass from me.
