What type of horror scares you the most?

And why? :)

For me is it's psychological horror, espcially where it manages to convey feelings of isolation and hopelessness. Although few things manage to scare me these days.

Except some horror games, the immersion makes it much worse, scares the socks right off :)

I dunno, it doesn't necessarily scare me, but Cosmic/Lovecraftian Horror does give me a huge sense of dread/hopelessness when I'm really into the story. It's an interesting feeling so I actually like this genre the most.

@SW-User I love that stuff, and the feeling of dread like that. If you like that you should look into W40k, which might be the most daunting thing you've ever done lol. In terms of darkness and overall uniqueness there's nothing like it :)
The ultimate cosmic horror setting.

@SW-User Lovecraft is excellent. Not scary exactly, but certainly elicits some sort of reaction.

Body horror is the only type of horror that ever really gets me.

@SW-User I see, i know of some stuff you should stay well clear of then :)

@Axelerator Being scared is fun.

@SW-User I agree, it's become harder for me these days, it has to be specific things to make it through.

None... my reaction times are too slow and my sense of disbelief too weak for horror to affect me, lol

All I get from horror films is annoyance at how stupid the protagonists tend to be 🙄

@Quizzical LOL i got it mixed in my head, i do know the game though haha :P

I'm more scared of the deep sea than i am of deep space tbh.

@Axelerator Well, in space you just die... IN deep water things EAT YOU!! lol

Axelerator · 26-30, M

@Quizzical Well there's no shortage of fictional cosmic entities that would absolutely terrifying.

To me there's something about the deep deep water that seems scary. As a human you're out of your element and weak, compared to some ancient potentially massive creature.

Ghosts I can't watch that
Everything else is silly to me so I don't watch that either. I like a good asylum movie or cave movie.

@abe182 You've long had a fear of ghosts then?
