My favorite thing is the punch-you-in-the-gut feeling with a great twist at the end. I also love goosebumps and heart racing. Really, you can get these things from any genre, but it happens most often...

I like being scared. It's a big adrenaline rush. But I don't really know WHY I do it to myself. I get horrible nightmares (which I don't enjoy in the slightest), I can't fall asleep at night, etc. when...

This was me, too -- I was always scared of horror, but somehow drawn to it as well. In fourth grade, I checked out Alvin Schwartz's _Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark_ so many times in a row that I'm...

Yeah, I think it's the adrenaline for me, as well. But like Farifax, I probably couldn't tell you exactly what it is? On a different note, one of the solid reasons I like horror is because it's...

The sort of horror I like usually plays on my desire to know about the unknown. Even if it's just "is the source of terror real or all in the character's mind?" Or "is the conspiracy really true?"...

For me horror is more about facing fear than fear itself. Looking directly at what terrifies you can be good for you. Especially if you, or the characters as a proxy for you, overcome it. That doesn't...
