I enjoy watching horror films but it's the getting to sleep after that gets me! So I prefer to watch them at parties so I can sleep better knowing I'm around people :)
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.

Sounds like your a scaredy cat.
I am not .... I can kill dragons, walk on fire, eat glass .... but horror movies alone, I am out of here .
Not only can I watch them alone, and in the dark, they don't really scare me at all. I don't want to say it's because of more effects or anything, it could be, but I've just watched so many that they don't really have much effect except for the jump factor. But as far as creeping me out or not being able to watch, that's just silly to me now. I think it's a combination of watching so many, seeing more cg rather than unseen, and seeing a lot of gore, which has desensitized me. I heard there was some new show coming out called American Horror or something in October that some of the critics had to leave. Something about ghosts and disturbing images. What a bunch of pansies. Don't sound like they're good critics to me. Maybe I should critique. Pay me money to watch films and tell you whether they suck or not. I would be the one disagreeing with about 80% of the critics 90% of the time. Screw if it has all of the "elements" and in perfect place and transitions perfectly. Does it entertain me or not? Will it entertain others if you are a fan of (x) genre? That's really all you need. Making movies symbolic of something else is completely stupid. Like saying the zombies in Dawn of the Dead represented misguided consumers who go like zombies through the malls every weekend. -OR- They could just be zombies that wanted to chomp down on some flesh of those that chose to run there to hide. So much overthinking and telling people movies suck that don't and then they tank, while promoting some b.s. romance set in World War II. Enough. I could go on and on. The funny thing, it was about watching horrors or not. Individual rants and arguments can go anywhere, just like reading an original post and then reading what's on page 8 of this forum. Completely off topic and different half the time. LOL

Kinda have to, my GF hates them. That said, im one of those people that jump at everything! I cant help it, I can hear the music getting tenser, i can see whats coming.... and as soon as it does i hit the roof!!
I prefer watching horror movies with someone as long as they're likely to enjoy it on the same level as me, I refuse to watch a horror movie with more than one person as that situation leads to people talking and distracting each other or me while watching it, only to just say "that sucked" at the end because they paid no attention to it, I'd rather watch alone than watch with more than one person.
I generally watch movies alone anyways so I'm fairly used to watching horror films as well even if they're films that are immersive enough that I feel a bit edgy afterwards in the late of the evening. I tend to prefer watching films on my own as it is unless it's a martial arts or blaxploitation film in which case I like to have a couple of friends on hand if possible as they're expertise is very welcome.
Yes, generally. It is no so much the horror that i have a problem with, it tends to be all movies I have a problem watching alone. I am not sure if I grew up with the mentality that movies are supposed to be a social thing of sorts, but I hate watching movies alone. I can do your 22 or 44 minute episode of TV alright, but I just won't watch movies alone. I even like having someone to watch TV with as well personally. Not sure if I am just weird that way though.
Not only do I watch horror movies alone, I have too because the rest of my family are little crybabies. For my mom the Walking Dead is too violent and bloody for her. I never get nightmares anymore. Nothing ever happens to me. When something really bad is going down, I instantly know its a dream and I race to the fastest way to die so I can just wake up and go back to sleep and hopefully have a better dreamless rest.
