Personally I love horror comedy. I just find it so re watchable. Other then that I really enjoy zombie movies and find paranormal likely the spookiest. I bet you can guess how many times I’ve seen return of the living dead, lol.
Least favorite is likely revenge films or anything shocky just to shock (like the terrifier films). I also really don’t like nic cage. He’s ostensibly too over the top for me.
I love old Hammer Horror & Amicus movies. Especially the anthologies.
I also have a place in my heart for 70s/80s horror that centers around teenagers like the first two Friday the 13th, Halloween, or Terror Train. All because I used to stay up late and watch these on cable as a kid.
Not a fan of torture porn, like “Saw”.
