My mother doesn't really watch movies much at all these days, she prefers to read. When she does watch horror, I would say she prefers movies with little to no gore, she wants more of psychological scare, she loves Hitchcock, for example.
My father again, more into the psychological, he can't stand anything with a lot of blood or gore (what he call gratuitous violence, which I find hilarious coming from someone that watches some of the action films he just loves :rolleyes: ), he doesn't like zombie films or slasher films. But he's what I call a casual horror fan, examples, he likes Jaws, he likes The Exorcist, The Silence of the Lambs and vampire movies if they have a fair amount of action in them. But he prefers action films. He finds my interest in horror kind of fascinating though...LOL.
I have cousin that is a lot like me when it comes to horror, though he steers clear of the "bad" films usually. But he likes a lot of Asian horror (he is actually the reason I got into Asian horror myself), '70s horror, etc.
And it should come as no surprise to anyone, my husband has almost identical taste to films that I do. We almost......ALMOST ;) always agree. He enjoys "bad" movies, he is also stuck in the '70s and '80s when it comes to horror. He doesn't seem to enjoy truly classic horror quite as much as I do though (or should I say, when I actually can convince him to watch it, he loves it, but its hard to get him to sit down and watch them sometimes).
And me, I like it all, as long as I am entertained, and its not TOO extreme.
