Don't judge a genre by its trash. Judge it by its classics. If given a fair shot, I think the horror genre holds up quite well.
O I'm not. And I agree there are quite a few out there that are very good. The original Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street are classics for a reason. Nightmare on Elm Street is a particularly fine example of a spectacularly original and frightening idea. 28 Days Later is fantastic. I'll even watch, and get a kick out of, some of the older horror flicks like The Gate, Silver Bullet, etc. But they aren't really good movies. Scream was good, but then they made 8 more. Same with Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween. It seems like for every one 28 Days Later, there's 50 The Cabin in the Woodses (Yes. That movie sucked complete arse).
Not saying there aren't great ones out there, but let's be honest, when was the last truly great horror movie released?

Aside from the solid points in here already...simply put: I like them because they're fun. It's fun to be scared. Just because something isn't real or even based in reality doesn't mean it can't be scary. I can watch a horror movie and be creeped the frick out and then be at my house alone at night without fear that something is "gonna get me." It's just fun. And I fricking HATED scary movies when I was a kid...so it's cool for me now because I enjoy them so much. I've done quite the 180.
Good thread about this very thing.

Halloween
The Shining
Psycho
The Exorcist
Alien
The Thing
Those are six of the finest films ever made.
Scream, The Ring and The Strangers are amazing horror films as well.
