| | horror movies = red flag?Page 1 of 10 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) | A lot of women I know can't sit through horror movies, mostly for the blood but also many don't like feeling scared. I am talking space alien, insane killer, creature, huge shark/dog/gorilla on the loose,zombies, witches, vampire stuff.
Ladies, do you equate that to a red flag in a date or boyfriend? I don't mean he lives it, just that he likes scary movies.
Guys, ever lose a girlfriend or potential girlfriend over it?
BTW, I don't mean he forces it on her to watch, just that he does it at home when alone.
(That statement by itself does not sound good!) | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 1:22:38 PM | I think it's pretty split. I think a lot of girls really enjoy the sensation of being scared.
On my last date, I suggested we go see Disney's Up. She said "I have no interest in watching a silly cartoon. I want to go see Drag Me to Hell!" We did and a good time was had by all. In case some of you didn't know Drag Me To Hell is Sam Raimi (Spider-Man films) returning to horror. He did the Evil Dead films so DMTH is actually quite funny.
I went and saw Up by myself and I think she would have really liked it because it's actually a very touching love story. You'd never guess that from the ads though.

Posted: 6/19/2009 1:23:10 PM | | Why on earth would what kind of movies a person enjoys be a red flag??? That would be like saying that a guy who watches Nascar every Sunday is a red flag. Pfft. I know girls who LOVE horror movies. Now if he was watching some sort of kiddie porn or beastiality movies, yeah...definitely a red flag. But horror movies? Nah...... | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 1:30:37 PM | | Are you kidding? They make those movies because women like them. They throw in the part about the almost naked heroine running screaming through the set to keep the guys from leaving the theater. | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 1:43:29 PM | Ummm..it's just a movie,right?
If the person believed that it was REAL...then it would be a problem.
Or if watching those movies was obsession...or the other person wouldn't compromise and watch anything else...THEN it might be a problem.... | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 1:45:33 PM | I consider a guy who likes chick flicks or tries to drag me to one a red flag. I thought by law all men had to like and watch horror flicks, which I like too so I never considered it an issue. A lot of my female friends hate horror/sci fi so to me that's just more proof that it's a guy thing.
I will look out for it now, tho. | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 1:55:26 PM | | I don't expect a man I am dating to like everything I do and I certainly would not break off with him due to his taste in movies. | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 2:08:48 PM | I love horror flicks!
I'd rather watch a "Saw" movie than a cheesy romantic one.
Is that a red flag? | |

Electric...then if the saw doesn't work,you have the power cord to wrap around their necks :P

Posted: 6/19/2009 2:32:41 PM | I don't think I could be too thrilled with a man who liked watching people die torturous (horrific) deaths as a form of entertainment.
What's he filling his mind with?
And if he says what he watches has no effect on him then ask why Superbowl advertising costs $3 for 30 seconds-- what you feed your mind does make an impact. | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 2:39:22 PM | I had a girlfriend once who was quite horrifying at times and yet she didn't like horror films; she must have come from the Bizarre World.
Anyway, I quit the GF, she was way too scary for me. But I still like the films. | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 3:17:22 PM | I loved scary movies when I was young, but as I've gotten older, they really have come to bother me. I think that being a respiratory therapist for 30 years, working in the emergency room and seeing all the horrific things that people do to each other really turned me off the blood, guts and gore. When you've seen so much of it for real, you don't find enjoyment in seeing it in movies. I am talking basically the 'slasher' type movies. I do love murder mysteries, some alien/creature/shark/vampire genre movies. Blood for blood sake or physical abuse repels me. I had a really difficult time with watching Kill Bill Part 1 at the theater. There was just to much bloodshed for my taste.
Would it bother me if my SO enjoyed those movies? Not at all. Why should my distaste for them affect him? He can watch whatever movies he likes, and since he goes twice a week, he likes a lot of movies!! | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 3:20:25 PM | | I wouldn't know. I LOVE scary/bloody/gorey movies. I even have the real death documentaries, such as Faces of Death and Traces of Death. | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 3:24:18 PM | | Why would it be? I liked Jaws, Cujo, Freddie Kreuger. I even use to watch his miniseries on cable. I call an old guy at work Freddy Kreuger or Mister 6 (Great America) as he greatly resembles them | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 3:47:10 PM | Going to a horror flick on the first date wouldn't be something I would agree to. I much prefer knowing the guy so that when I bury my head in his chest it is all good! I saw Friday the 13th 1 - 4 with my bf this week. We watched the first Nightmare on Elm Street too. For some diversity, he doesn't have cable or sat, we watched some Spaced.
I have watched some of the Saw movies by myself. Not as much fun when you don't have someone to tell you that you can look again.
Of course some of the cheesy horror movies are a blast. The squirting blood from a cut off arm or whatever can be funny.
Some times it is just the company you are with while watching the movie that makes it enjoyable. | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 3:50:35 PM | Eh, horror movies are for kids!
I like to show the broads snuff films, really let's 'em know where I'm coming from. Good way to find a moll who's gonna help me hide the stiffs.

Posted: 6/19/2009 3:52:02 PM | No. I adore horror movies. I would rather watch the new horror than anything else. I generally only watch other movies because I have already seen the horror ones.
I know that guys like taking girls to see them for the "oh no! I can't watch" cuddle factor, plus you get to be the big guy protecting the girl in some weird sort of way.
But I don't cringe at all. I enjoy all different types and I need a man that loves horror as well. My bro loves horror, but his wife don't. So he ends up watching after she is asleep. That sucks. I really want to cuddle up on the couch with my special someone and enjoy a movie together. | |
