re: Why Do So Many People Watch Horror Movies?

Horror movies are tailor made for theatres. Unless you have and extremely nice home theatre in your house with full surround, pitch black And a massive screen you can't get the same experience. Then of course there is the crowd reactions.

A great Horror movie is great. A terrible horror movie can be so bad it's still very entertaining.

A well scripted, we'll thought out, critically acclaimed, plot driven movie doesn't have to be seen in theaters and some are better to watch at home because you can rewind and re-watch and pause it.


So unless it's an action, horror, or super hero movie. I won't go see it in theaters. I'll just watch at home.
