Horror vs. Social Life

[Shade]

I don't know about everyone else but I have a hard time with people as far as this subject goes. I have two good friends who like horror almost as much as I do and some people will tolerate me talking about horror or related topics as long as it's not all I talk about (never is...as I'm obsessed with anime and videogames as well...not great conversation topics either though-) but the hardest time I have is finding a good date. I'm a girl (not sure it's made obvious by my ava) and every time a guy asks me out to the movies...well we run into a major problem...and I'm not sure I like being tougher than my date ::sigh::. Anyone else have this problem?

None of my friends are big horror fans which is why I come here. They watch the really commercial ones but that's kinda it.

Going to the movies, well I could watch anything so it wouldn't really bother me. I'd just go see the horror movie another time if the date wasn't interested. Their loss!

i agree. i tend to like scarier pics and those are the ones i get really geeked about seeing. my friends are kind of useless when it comes to that, so i end up going to the show by myself. to some it seems depressing but i get to determine what i want to watch and i don't have to compromise on something i don't want to see and there's no justification. it's nice to do what you want.

Same here. My friendda actually think that Scream is better than ANY of the Evil Deads. The fools they are

I go by myself mostly these days as my friends are crap and I was fed up of missing things waiting for them to get off their asses and go!

Not that Scream is bad but the mere idea that it rivals with any Evil Dead movie is laughable >.>;. Of course I was the one who made all my friends watch the trilogy and...well...most of em' left during the first one. I don't see how someone can hate movies that are soooo good. The Evil Dead movies are like my favorite movies of all time an my friends can hardly stand them ::cries::

I agree Shade. I do like the Scream triology and I own them but I don't really consider them true horror as they are far too commercial and basically just a little too silly to be taken seriously. At least Kevin Williamson helped out the horror comeback though.

Puhleeze, any guy that doesn't like horror is a pansy. And any guy that doesn't like video games is.. is.. uh.. hm.. a lame guy. Horror and video games are great :D As far as anime, I'm not really big into it, but there are some I like.

I'd play more games and watch more horror, but I'm a college student, so that comes first... Oh well. Don't worry, you'll find a guy out there that enjoys all three as much as you do. It may take some time, but he's out there. Plus you're only 16 :D Give it a while. Young'un :P

I am lucky to have friends that like horror, but I also have several that don't. Now and then I will go to a horror movie by myself... when I was in sixth grade I snuck into the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I think I'm still damaged.

For a while we were hosting horror theme movie marathons. We'd borrow an LCD projector and show the movies on a wall with the sound pumped through a big PA. Once we watched all three of Fulci's zombie trilogy, and served spaghetti and red wine. Most of the people there weren't really horrror fans but got into it just as a theme party. Once we had sushi and Japanese beer with Ringu and Dark Water. I could see serving barbecue while watching TCM, but I will skip the head cheese. Anyway... making horror movies more of an event makes it easier to drag friends in.

I have only a few friends actually into horror BUT not as much as I am.. Sometimes when I am at work I tend to get onto the subject of horror or something dealing with horror. And I usually get the question "DAMN, how long have you been into horror..?" and when I go out everyone that knows me knows that I will only go see a horror/sci-fi movie. NOTHING ELSE.. I do sometimes wish I could find someone that lives near me that is into horror like me and hang out.. But oh well... :)
But usually people that are not into horror comes to me for suggestions on horror to watch ...
