What Your Favorite Horror Film Says About Your Sex Life

You can tell an awful lot about people by their personal choices, especially their movie selections. Halloween brings out horror film lovers in droves. Clearly, the horror aficionado has certain expectations of the movies he/she sees. But what kind of intimate behavior would one expect from someone who happens to be drawn to this kind of cinema? Are they any different? Weirder perhaps? Do these people's diverse tastes match their personal desires? We may never know for sure. But it's fun to imagine what kind of love lives die-hard horror fans are enjoying (or...not...enjoying?)...

Vampire Flicks

Vampire culture is at once sexy, dangerous, and quite taboo. These movies range in plot structure and corniness. But one thing remains the same. Vampires must get very close in order to bite you. Suffice it to say, that those who go wild for a well-told vampire tale are deeply romantic, passionate people.

Torture-Porn

It takes a strong stomach to sit through an entire Saw marathon. And if your date happens to be crazy about the Hostel movies, Midnight Meat Train-or anything of the sort, then you might just have a thrill seeker on your hands. These films as violent as they are-are strangely connected to arousal (not in the sick way.) These movies provide several quick adrenaline bursts; a lover of these films probably enjoys taking risks.

Psychological Horror

Movies like The Sixth Sense, Passengers, and Hide and Seek (starring Robert DeNiro) cause people to think. People who rely on their intellect probably make dutiful, thoughtful partners. Attention to detail is more than likely one of the characteristics that would draw you to someone who prefers scares born of mental gymnastics.

Religious Horror

Movies in which the Devil is threatening one or more human souls are quite ardent in their pursuits to frighten. Horror films with religious connotations are sometimes like little history lessons. They are rooted in the ubiquitous concept of Good vs. Evil. A person needn't be a religious zealot in order to appreciate spiritual horror. But if you are drawn to scary fare like The Exorcist, Stigmata, or Lost Souls there is a chance that you take your love life quite seriously, and aren't prone to making rash romantic choices.

Slasher Films

Horror films featuring maniacal serial killers are usually pretty predictable, no matter how new and modern the film actually is. A standard formula typically applies regardless of the colorfully improved circumstances. Jason and Michael Myers may find new life in the century's remakes. But their motives remain the same. People who are drawn to slasher flicks probably enjoy some level of consistency in their love lives.

Ghost Stories

Stories involving ghosts and spirits generally take a while to build. The gradual intensity is great for canoodling couples who are getting to know each other. Films like A Haunting in Connecticut, The Amityville Horror, and The Grudge are designed to creep you out in cumulative increments. If you like this kind of cinematic stimulation, it is probable that you enjoy a slow-build up where your partner is concerned. Slow and steady wins the race!

Science Fiction Horror/ Monster Movies

Science fiction horror is quite different from other movies of this genre. In movies such as Alien, District 9, and Event Horizon, the suspension of disbelief is exhausted to the brink. These films involve a great deal of creativity and imagination. To absorb them is to have a mind capable of thinking outside the box. Sci-fi monster movie lovers are perhaps full of vigor and a zest for life-traits that are often quite favorable in romance.
