Hey doing a reserch project at uni about women and horror

Hey I need general opinions on why people believe that women like horror films. Any comments will be helpful as im looking at the wider picture first then narrowing it down.

Thanx

No! No more! That's it! Fuck all Media Studies projects about women in Horror.

A bit of advice. Look back through the previous threads. You don't have to look far to find what you need!

Goh!

Thanx
sorry first time on this website.

They're not asking about women IN horror. They're asking about why women LIKE horror.

As a lady, I personally enjoy horror movies because it gets the adreneline pumping. I've also always been a little bit morbid, so when I need a good cheering up I am not afraid to admit that a bit of gore will do the trick.

Thanx miss macabre, ive found that im getting that answer and im exactly the same as you. I love horror films but don't know why i like them. I still find thought that it is still seen as odd when i say to people that im a woman and i like horror films. Im just trying to find out why this is.

i knew it. When I responded to ferrets post I typed "he" but then changed it because I had a feeling you're girl. I don't think too many people find it odd that girls enjoy horror though. You might just be surrounded by people who are a little closed minded.

Damn. Me and my jumping to conclusions! Sorry. :)

But, since I'm not a woman, I'm not entirely sure how their minds work, So I don'ts know.

Well venture a guess? Why do you think girls like horror?

Also, I dunno if this will help with your paper but my father thinks horror movies are un-ladylike. Yells about it all the time, so funny. Zombies piss him off especially. Hilarious!
