Can you watch horror films alone?

I have a lot of new films I have just bought for over the holiday and although I am a fan of horror, sometimes I really don't enjoy watching certain ones alone. For example, movies like Paranormal Activity 2 which leaves you with an "omg not going downstairs alone" feeling after it .... :P

What do you guys think about this subject? Plain horror with plenty of action I am fine with but too much suspense and I have to stop it until a friend watches it with me because I get way too creeped out even though I know it is just a film!

Yes, with the lights off too.

I think the Paranoraml Activity doesn't even count as horror...I hate that franchise so much. It's just so terrible.

And yes, I can watch them alone. I watched them all my life and the last one to "creep" me out would be The Strangers.

Yes since I can differentiate a movie from reality. There are no horror movies that are actually scary anyway.

i can, but i haven't seen one in a long time

also: most of the modern horror movies are way too tongue-in-cheek.

You speak the truth.

I haven't found a movie scary since I was about 7.

Never watched a horror movie, never will. Things creep me out very easily.

yeah, i can't play horror games alone though

It's more fun to needle people when they freak out over a horror movie, so option 2.

Not for everybody, I have a few friends that can't watch horrors at all and if they do, they jump or scream at every little thing :lol:

I can, and I often do.

I enjoy watching asian horror films on my own. But for the most part, I outright refuse to watch the majority of american horror films. Maybe it's because I've got a really good imagination.....but the typical torture-like gore often turns my stomach.

Considering very few movies these days are scary I will say that yes I can watch them alone. very, very few movies would make medo otherwise.

I can, and I prefer it that way.

I can watch them alone in the dark... BUT people have to be in the house...

I can't watch a scary movie and know I'm the only one home... I'd have to have my door open and my lights on then...

Sure..but it's much more fun to watch them in a group.

I cant say I have ever watched a horror movie alone, because they are fun to watch with another person or group so you can Mystery Science them. Its rare a horror film is actually good enough to take seriously so its more for poops and giggles.

Yeah, for whatever reason I don't find them as scary when I watch them alone, though in general any of my movie experiences are enhanced when I watch with other people.

Yes, because most of the time horror movies to me are more funny than at all scary. giggleattheghosties.avi

I can..but I don't like to! :lol:

As long as it isn't about the supernatural world, I can watch it. You present me with anything ghost/demon related, no dice for me.3eyedrazorback

I can, but I prefer watching them with a hot chick. :P

I can and do, but I get really paranoid after the movie if it's late at night.

Yes.

Yes I can, but they ain't fun without company!

Not ghost ones, but zombie and vampire ones sure.

I dun believe those who claim they can. it's either the movie isn't scary or they didn't follow the whole plot from the begining so they aren't into the movie ..... I claim I am a brave person, and yet the idea of watching horror movies alone terrifies me.
