Poll: Favorite Horror Genre?

[PAGEToap44]

I couldn't find anything similar to this. .I'm curious as to where Escapists seek their scary thrills. I would go for Zombies, for the survival aspect.

Omg it's a genre in a genre god save us.... uhhh they all kinda suck not a big fan of horror... but hey lovin the avatar Shawn of the Dead is sweet

Phsycological sounds cool. Reminds me of Psychological. I like watching people slowly go nuts.

I vote Phsycological.

I chose zombies. By the way, vampires have turned into something that's not horror.

Also, what do you mean by religious??

Like the Omen, the Reaping, films that are religiously orientated.

Zombies and Survival. I chose Psychological though because that probably trumps them both, I have to go with Onyx Oblivion an that one.

 

[_Janny_]

Psychological for sure. I love it when something is so deep and creepy that it lingers in your mind even after finishing the game/ reading the book.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

I only like horror when action is involved so that usually involves vampires or zombies.

I picked.....OH MY GOD IT'S GONNA GET ME!! HUWARGH!

 

[Ghost]

alien invasions or zombies

 

[llewgriff]

Zombies, love em'

 

[iggyus]

Psychological. Just remember Lovecraft and Cthulhu and you'll see

 

[sky14kemea]

psychologicals

i find it funny that i can follow the story pretty easily while my mum gets lost after 5 mins and keeps asking me whats happening

 

[ae86gamer]

Zombies is my favorite. Nothing like shooting the walking dead in the head.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Psychological. It is a test of a true horror film to leave you mentally disturbed rather than just frightened.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Crap... I voted for zombie before I read all the choices. I pick the psychological.

 

[cleverlymadeup]

i really don't have a favorite type, i just like good horror, can be of any of the subgenre's really

 

[teisjm]

I love the ones with relegious cultists.

Fanatical monks has the same dark fantasy feel as diablo, which was one of the cool things about the games.

 

[About To Crash]

Psychological, the ones that play with your head. it can leave you beautifully messed up. I love sitting on the edge of my seat, never knowing just what horror awaits me. Knowing that it will be zombies, vampires, or what have you, defangs a lot of the mystery and thus, the terror.

 

[Yegargeburble]

Movies: I go for zombies, but I am so very dissapointed that there doesn't seem to be a zombie movie (or TV show) that goes deeper than "Oh, God! Zombies! Run!" I want to have the movie/show to put the running, zombie "horror" on the back-burner to focus on how the survivors are changed by the apocalypse.

Anyways, games / books:

I go with psychological. It is just more fun than any other form of horror.

 

[Kingsman]

Right now, I would either go with psychological or religious, because the idea of people doing something under the mistaken idea that they're doing the right thing when in fact they're doing something like bringing about the apocalypse allows for nutjobs/worshippers to do some serious f'ed up sh** in the name of "righteousness".
