Theater Or Dvd ????

How do you prefer to watch your horror?? Or any movies for that matter, do you enjoy going to the theater and seeing the new releases on the big screen? Or do you wait until they are released on DVD to watch them at home ?? I HAVE to see all the good Horror on the big screen !! But I have friends who wait until it's released to DVD no matter how long it takes. I'm not that patient either! *lol* :) Much Love~Blood D~

I prefer the theatre when it comes to horror. You get the full experience. Huge screen, surround sound and lots of preteens yelling and jumping in their seats.

DVD is good for extras and nights at home cuddling though.

I prefer watching at home.

I have got a decent sized screen and good sound, so the cinema experience is not that much better as far as picture and sound goes.

But at home I can start it when I want, sit more comfortably, possibly have a beer or two, and pause it for toilet breaks :)

Also, there are no heads in the way, and the floor is (hopefully) not sticky :)

I prefer to go to the theatre but am not able to as much as I like.Money being an issue and not wanting to go watch it alone is another.

There is no substitute for the theater, especially for horror

It is impossible to be frightened within the comforts of your own home...it's just too familiar and safe. Go into a public setting and something scary is instantly scarier...that and the lack of control.

At home you can turn something off to use the bathroom or pause for a snack which RUINS how the film's intentional pacing is supposed to work on your psyche.

I love watching my DVDs. It fun and it's easy...but it pales in comparison to making an event out of the viewing experience.

I prefer the theatre by far!

The impact of the horror comes through on the large screen and surround sound.

There's something too about getting a large box of popcorn and a large icy soft drink .

"Pottying" is my biggest problem as you can tell from my picture. They don't make stalls for 115" hoopskirts.

However, most of my horror is watched at home on DVD from my large collection. But I still enjoy it!
