Is your spouse into horror the same as you

[Evil Dead Guy]

I am single now , and now i can watch my horror DVDs when ever i wish without going into the next room . Only one girlfriend i had was into horror , but she turned out to be a horror movie herself .

[dwatts]

Nah. My wife humors me every once in a while and will watch something. But to be honest, no, my wife doesn't care for horror.

[Fistfuck]

My sister and my mother are actually more into horror than my girlfriends have been. While I'm away my mother is usually at me to pick up new stuff she hasn't seen yet.

[Damage]

It's true that opposites attract, because my wife and I are polar opposites when it comes to most movies and music. Of course, if you ask me, light-hearted romantic comedies are horrors in the truest sense.

[Scary_Woman]

My boyfriend likes some of them but I like them a lot more.
I watch almost all types of horror even the real stupid ones but he won't watch those because they are stupid.

[wizzer]

my wife has always been into horror films and there are alot that i don't get into but i have found myself watching alot of horror movies now because i have found a special place for some horror movies as some of the funniest comedies that are out there. i like roger corman movies and alot of full moon titles and these days i look forward to any b-horror movie that's not shot on video. i hate those.

for most of our marriage we've been able to have seperate rooms with our own t.v.'s but i've been slowly moving to the darkside and watching horror movies every night. plus then i have something to talk about on here when i get tired of reading about politics :D

[shift]

My wife does not mind horror, but mainly mainstrean horror / newer horror movies shes cool with.

If I pop in F13, The Thing, she says its ok.

I put in Wrong Turn, Cabin Fever and she enjoys it much better. I guess the new CGI/special effects and cameras they use are just a eye candy for her. So if its new horror , she is good with, older horror.... NOT!!!

But no, wife and I are opposite when it comes to horror movies.

[bigdaddyhorse]

My GF loves em as much as me, didn't think it would ever be possible to find a girl who loves Re-Animator and Return Of The Living Dead. :banana: :banana:

[Wayne Manor]

She's up for watching anything from "Animal Lover" to "Thriller - En Grym Film", although tonight she decided "The Grudge" had a clunky ending.

[Morg]

My wife has always had a taste for horror, but mostly the commercialized American type films, like scream -- stuff like that. And some slashers thrown in for good measure, like Halloween and Friday the 13th. Until I turned her on to a wider variety of stuff like Argento and Fulci, amongst other things. The first film of these types I showed her was Suspiria. At first she found it suspect, not sure of it. But we kept at it, and being the opened minded person she is, she has come to love all of these films and film makers, like myself. She said, one day she finally "got it", like she understood what it meant to watch something like Suspiria. Let's face it, the run of the mill fan may love Halloween, but they get a confused look on their face when they watch something like City of the Living Dead. Maybe some movies are like beer: it's an aquired taste.

**Edit: Oh, and it's so great, I quiz her on stuff, and she's pretty knowlegable on a lot of stuff now. Sometimes she even gives me a run for my money! Which is pretty cool, in my book. :D

[indiephantom]

Great...another thread that makes me feel lonely and single. :fuck: I had a great gf back in the spring and she was into horror quite a bit. She had lots of vampire films in her collection. She tended to like lots of the more recent stuff, but was very keen on classics like "The Shining" and "Rosemary's Baby".

I tend to like watching horror with girls, whether they like it or not. :evil:

[Deaddevilman]

My wife hates it. I can sometimes talk her into watching a Japanese horror film... but she usually ends up hating them.

[Agent Z]

My GF loves em as much as me, didn't think it would ever be possible to find a girl who loves Re-Animator and Return Of The Living Dead. :banana: :banana:

A keeper.

My wife hates it. I can sometimes talk her into watching a Japanese horror film... but she usually ends up hating them.

Keep a close eye on her.

[Criswell]

My wife rates horror films on the same level as kiddy porn.........

Nedless to say she had NOT seen very much of my collection.

Or my Horror films!!!!!!!! :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs:

[Alexander]

My current ex-girlfriend ("current" cause she still doesn´t accept the fact that she´s now an "ex") is a psycho stalker worthly of a movie.

[Crystal Plumage]

My wife doesn't like it.She's more into the romantic comedy stuff.Which I have to admit is fun sometime.But for every comedy I need three horrors!

[linlar]

my wife and i like horror movies but she doesn't like the slasher films..

[19VOORHEES83]

My girlfriend lives with me and she told me from all the horror movies she's watched she would say ....1988 the The Blob,The Return of The Living Dead 2,John Carpenter's The thing,Critters,Dawn of the Dead,Army of Darkness,Evil Dead 2 and Killer Klowns from Outer Space are her favorites, so yeah i would say she loves horror movies!!!!

[life_o_petey]

my girlfriend will watch horror movies with me occassionally. She says they're entertaining, but she'd never actually choose to watch one on her own. Other than that we pretty much have similiar tastes in movies though.

[allmessedup]

My wife likes horror films, just not as much as I do--she mainly likes newer films, and doesn't appreciate older stuff--particularly the 70s stuff she has a hard time getting past the poorer effects. If the effects are obviously dated or poor she usually doesn't like the film.

She often complains/jokes that I have forced her to watch every zombie film ever made.....but we share a lot of common ground and both of us really enjoyed SHAUN OF THE DEAD.

[kyouki]

My wife tells me she doesn't like horror films, but she's the first to suggest renting a horror movie when Halloween draws near. If I'm playing a horror video game, she'll tell me how much she hates it, but then sneak over to the couch and sit next to me to watch.

Last week we watched Texas Chain Saw Massacre (74) together and when it was over she said she hated it and it was disgusting. The next day I asked her if she really hated it and she said she liked it. Her favorite scene was where you see Leatherface for the first time and he nails that kid in the head with the hammer. And her favorite character was Leatherface (or, as she calls him, "The Crazy Chainsaw Guy"). :)

She's a closet horror fan.

[Alexander]

Unless my memory REALLY betrays me, Leatherface is called "Bubba" in this film. Or it is part 2?

[Jamm]

We both like horror movies. They make up about 90% of what we watch. However, the other half has control over what gets added to the Netflix queue, and he has a thing for the cheapest, silliest, lowest budget shit he can find. I always look to see what studio put the movie out and he always jokingly tells me "It's a TROMA film!!!"

If it is, I usually just go in the other room and let him have his fun.

[PMcG_6]

I wish. She'll watch some with me and go to the new ones in the theater, but she has her limits. Although, the other day I was watching Ilsa: She Wolf of The SS. She sat down to read her book and started watching it instead. She was like in a trance or something. I got up to get something and asked if she needed anything and she said "I'm trying to watch this". I was proud. :D

[x666x]

My girlfriend is into horror. And I mean horror beyond just the mainstream fare. This does really help. It also helps with chauvenist jokes because she knows I am just kidding.

[kyouki]

Unless my memory REALLY betrays me, Leatherface is called "Bubba" in this film. Or it is part 2?

It must be from part 2 (which I haven't seen). In the first movie, he isn't called anything (though he may be called Leatherface in the credits).

[PMcG_6]

It is part 2. I faintly remember hearing Bill Moseley's character "chop top" saying the name.

[allmessedup]

I *think* that the Cook refers to him as Leatherface in the first film, but only one time.

[kyouki]

I can only remember him being referred to as "your brother" when the cook is talking to/yelling at the hitchhiker character.

Ahhhh, what a movie.

[bigdaddyhorse]

Cook refers to him as "your brother".
ChopTop calls him bubba a few times, and calls him Leatherface a few also, like "git dat bitch leatherface! Dog will hunt!" :lol:
I love that movie, so fucking funny. I could quote Chop Top all day if I wouldn't get locked up for doing so. :D
"Burn her like a rat, burn her like a rat, burn her like a rat, rat, rat, rat, rat!"

[allmessedup]

Yeah, I imagine it must have been really hard to follow in Ed Neal's footsteps, but Bill Mosley actually managed to do it.

Now that I think about it, maybe it was the Hitchhiker who calls his brother Leatherface in the first film. Need to see it again now...I still think it only happened a single time.

[19MRSVOORHEES85]

I have been into horror for a long time and ever since I have been into it, my boyfriend has introduced to me more of the older horror movies. He has liked horror longer than I have but we both enjoy watching a horror movie at least once every night.

[CasEjonz]

My wife (a.k.a. "Queen of the Chick Flicks) absolutley HATES my horror films. If se hears one scream she asks if I am watching one of my"...yucky Italian horror movies." When she is in as she says a "dark mood' she will watch "Se7en", "Ghost Ship", "Thirteen Ghosts", or "Sleepy hollow"....I can count the movies she approves of from my genre on both hands. Needless to say that when I watch "Dawn of the Dead" in commentary, she is not home!

[Latency]

The wife is strange. She totally hates my taste in movies, yet we have a riot watching all of the Evil Dead movies every now and again. She likes scary stuff like The Others and Unsolved Mysteries, but when it comes to TCM or anything that's brutal and sadistic (slashers especially), she leaves the room. Oh well, at least I can win some of the time :).

[Shannafey]

Nah. My wife humors me every once in a while and will watch something. But to be honest, no, my wife doesn't care for horror.

Same as dwatts!!
