I completely agree with this as well because my anecdotal evidence contradicts Kandarian Demon's, for instance (no offense). From my experience, I actually know more women who love horror movies than men. Thus, our two experiences are completely different and it is unlikely, if not impossible for both claims to be true. That is why I think, as I mentioned, that there should an empirical research study to investigate these different claims.
