We’re all watching scary movies this week, right?  But there are tons of subgenres.  What’s your favorite?

According to a new poll, it’s Psychological horror like “Silence of the Lambs” or “Misery” with 18% of the vote.

Next up with 15% of the vote is Comedic horror.  Think “Shaun of the Living Dead”, “Tucker and Dale vs. Evil”, or “Return of the Living Dead”.

Supernatural horror came in third, with 11%.  That includes anything from the “Conjuring” universe or, if you’re into the classics, “The Exorcist” or “Candyman”.

Next up is Vampire flicks with 7%.  I don’t think I have to give examples here, but I feel the need to clarify that “Twilight” is NOT HORROR.  So keep those movies out your damn mouth.

By the way, Not Sure got 8% of the vote, and 25% are apparently NOT horror fans, because they said None of the Above.

In a related poll, 31% of Americans say they Never get nightmares from horror movies and 3% say they Always do.

22% say they never watch horror movies.
