Question 16. What is the common reaction you get when people hear that you like horror movies?
ZUZI W. (Illinois): They think its cool, except for my mom. She thinks they are evil. ..even though most horror movies are good conquers evil.
JASON B. (Ohio): There is no common reaction.
MISSY B. (Texas): they usually agree with me
KRISTOPHER B. (North Carolina): You are such a nice guy why do you like them.
REBECCA G. (Illinois): when i delve into my obsession with certain ones they tend to find it shocking and disturbing seeing as i also love childrens movies
BRENNA C. (Florida): I’m a 20- year- old girl who likes to shop and go out, so the typical reaction is that the person doesn’t believe me. Then when I start spouting off horror trivia, they get a little weirded out. They usually don’t understand it and think it’s strange. But I have found a few people who are as interested in it as I am so they get it. I always think of when I was 13, renting all of the Fridays, one by one, from movie gallery. I was always self-conscious going up to the counter and one time the guy said, “Lovin’ the Friday's, huh?” I got really embarrassed and lied and said I was renting them for my brother.
SAM W. (Florida): Please stop with gore = horror. Give us amazing, unique story lines. More Halloweens!
GEORGIA A. (Illinois): na
MYKEL D. (Michigan): mostly an odd look followed by " REALLY!"
SEAN A. (Illinois): Well most people know I love movies in general so they think I like horror movies, just an assumption I guess.
OBERON (Iowa): No particular reaction.
FELIPE S. (Arkansas): that i am not afraid to go see them in theaters or at night
KEVIN P. (Illinois): Most people don't seem to mind. I think I get stranger reactions from my love of foreign movies.

Posted by: TAG at January 22, 2007 04:40 PMIt's kind of like when I was a psych major. Every time someone heard that I wanted to go into forensic psych and study serial murderers, their automatic assumption was that I wanted to do this because I, in some way, admire them. The thought that I might want to do this so that I could figure out a way to STOP them from killing always seemed to shock them. *said shaking head*
