I'm not a Stephen King fan, but his book on the subject, Danse Macabre, is great and I paraphrase it often, which is what I'm about to do here:
some people like to go to movies to escape. to see the happy ending and see the dude get the girl, etc. to see something that is completely in contrast to their everyday, lame lives.
the horror fan likes to see what they have expected all along: that everything really is going to shit... and fast.
so maybe King is saying that horror fans are just die hard pessimists.
