A Horror Survey

Hi. I'm working on a research paper about why people like horror. I've prepared a short survey. I figured it'd be best to target people who are familiar with, and preferably fans of, the genre.
The survey is very short and shouldn't take more than a minute or so to fill out. I would really appreciate you guys filling this out honestly.
Thanks
- Justin

I am into horror because of the song-and-dance routines.

You are more than welcome to use the answers I gave the last 50 "new" members who asked the exact same question and then disappeared.

I like horror because that's the way I was born.

The sad truth about the state of horror movies today is the same as with the rest of the entertainment spectrum: The tendency of market researchers to try to boil entertainment down to demographically-targeted elements is exactly the reason why so many movies are lifeless, dull, mechanically calculated, mathematically devised, and un-entertaining.

They told me horror would get the girls.

It hasn't worked.
