I understand why people don't believe in paranormal things, and then the possession stuff, but I think that a good number of those people (if not the majority) believe that there is at least a possibility that they are real. No matter the likelihood.
I tend to like more possible movies myself, because it's scarier to me that what I am seeing could happen.
For instance, I think we would all agree that Vampires and Werewolves don't exist (I don't mean to insult anyone's beliefs). However, we don't know for a fact do we? So it's cool to think, well hey, maybe they do.
Just a thought.

You can think something doesn't exist but you can hardly prove it to be impossible. You touch on werewolf and vampires but really the movies with these creatures are showing possible reactions based on the introduction of a creature into reality. The only thing that MAY not be possible is the creature but the people, the reactions, and the methods used in destroying said creature could be possible. Ever watch Mythbusters? A shark as large as "Jaws" is unlikely to be found, caught, or attack but in the interest of negative proof we'll say we can't prove a shark of that size doesn't exist. The method in which *****SPOILERS****** (heh) the shark is killed, according to Mythbusters, is not possible but they can't test every tank and gas combination in every environment so it's not proved impossible just unlikely. Is Jaws still a realistic movie? It's an exaggeration like most things in movies are. Sure werewolves and vampires exist but not as we know them, they were exaggerations to explain serial killers and unfamiliar rituals (possibly). Have fun, sometimes we think too much.
