| Occasionally for some weird odd reason, I sometimes laugh at horror movies.. especially the jumpscares. I'm either thinking I'm laughing cause they are predictable and not scary, or it could potentially mean I'm a psychopath. I've been called a psychopath before cause I've done this in a movie theatre. |
  |
| Not at all. A. Because fiction B. Most horror movies are shit and hilarious already anyway |
  ♡ Harder Daddy ♡ |
| My dad laughs at literally every horror movie, and has never been scared from a horror movie. He thinks it's all very silly. |
 |
| Is someone a psycho if they jerk off to guro or potential murderer? |
 |
| I was more on the edge of my seat when I first watched No Country for Old Men, and that film isn't even horror. |

His conversation with the old man in the gas station was one of the most intense scenes I've ever seen. OT: An actual psychopath wouldn't question their psychopathy in public. So, you're okay bro. Sometimes, I laugh at jumpscares like you. They feel ridiculous sometimes. |
| Well horror movies today rely mostly on cheap jump scares anyway which are fine for a nice popcorn flick, but not worthy of taking that seriously. So I can certainly see how one would get the urge to laugh at times. |
| No dude some of them are really funny. Their pathetic attemts at scares are amusing. |

It really helped that the film didn't have any soundtrack whatsoever, except for the credits, so there's no way knowing how and when things would play out. I think that's what's missing from most horror movies. |

He is truly terrifying with his enigmatic nature. Also, I totally agree with your remark on soundtracks as well. With the absence of music, it all comes down to the acting and it was delivered masterfully in here. Very few film can achieve that. |
| Well the vast majority of horror movies are terrible, consequently making them more funny than scary nowadays. It's like, we're laughing at their poor attempts to scare us lol. |
| I laugh at horror movies all the time and am not a psychopath to the best of my knowledge. |

No Country for Old Men is arguably a masterpiece. Speaking of realistic, this made me remember Cannibal Holocaust which many people thought it was a snuff film. Never got to watch all of it as I've only seen few bits of the movie as a kid and I stopped watching after I saw what the cannibals did to the eyes of that certain dude. What's disturbing about the film though is that they actually killed live animals here. |

| No, it’s entertainment not tests of character. Plus the plots of horror movies are quite outlandish so it’s hard to not have a few chuckles every now and then. |

What's disturbing about the film though is that they actually killed live animals here. It's one of the most disturbing shit I've ever seen when I was a teenager. I've heard that the director was charged with multiple murders initially because the killings scenes were so realistic. Director had to call the actors and make them appear in live television to prove his innocence lol. It's a genre defining movie. If you can handle gore stuff, I can recommend. |
| This is such a weird question. NO! Horror movies like The Ring, Get Out, Us, and A Quiet Place frequently have moments of humor to break up the tension, of course. |
| Wow, this post is full of edge. Someone called you a psychopath in a movie theater? Yeah right r/thathappened. |
| Nah you just had a intense gamer moment. Don'tcha worry about it. |

I have to admit I would question the morality of somebody who laughed at some of the scenes in that movie. Depending on which one of course. Your average horror film, I don't blame anyone for laughing at. A lot of them are honestly not very well made. Horror is one of those genres that's really easy to make but very difficult to do well. And I say that as somebody who really likes the horror genre. Cannibal Holocaust though, I had to take a break from watching it at one point because I couldn't continue watching. I can definitely see why people at the time thought it was a snuff film. |

| Not really. I do that for the bad ones. Also there are some horror movies intend for you to laugh such as Rubber. |
| not at all and certainly not if the horror movie is this https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=howling+2&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 |

That scene was from another movie Zombi Holocaust, which also have cannibals. My memory got mixed the two together. Really though, Cannibal Holocaust is almost believable. Most horror movies, or at least the average ones, rely too much on music cues that it dampens the suspense; that's the issue I find sometimes. Not that I'm saying it should be like No Country for Old Men, but to know when to space it out without spoiling the surprise. |

| there are a lot of dumbasses in generic horror movies that make me laugh through their shitbrain decisions. besides that, ridiculous horror movies like the final destination series because of how bizarre the deaths get |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |

Not that I'm saying it should be like No Country for Old Men, but to know when to space it out without spoiling the surprise. I can see why you mixed up the two. Cannibal Holocaust is a lot worse though. I've seen some really gory zombie films but every zombie film feels at least a little cheesy to me. Everything in Cannibal Holocaust, including the human deaths, looks freakishly real. The animal deaths were easily the worst part about watching it because I knew they were real but the human deaths were really difficult to watch too. I can't even imagine what it must've been like to walk out of the theater for it when it first came out. A lot of people must've thrown up or come back home seriously traumatized. I think people who have watched it tend to recommend it to people a bit too easily. I knew it was gonna be really bad before I watched it and it was even worse than I thought it was gonna be. I think the problem with how horror movies use music is that you can actually predict what's going to happen based on the music. The music serves as a cue that something is going to jump out at you or an object is gonna move, or the monster is going to appear. It ruins the element of surprise. I think horror would actually be better if it was done a bit more like it is in Higurashi. Some cheerful scenes, which suddenly switch to being really eerie, and then use the shocks very sparingly. Higurashi and Haunting of Hill House I think are the two most well made horror stories I have ever seen. |

| No, sometimes I laugh at serious scenes because it's dumb but that's most horror movies or shows. |
| I would probably gag laugh if someone laughed during a horror movie in the cinemas lol... I don't think it's pyschopathic, one of my cousins lovessss horror movies and finds them funny too |

Won't be surprised if there were people who went the same experience as you've described; it's not really for the faint-hearted first timers. Somewhat related, this reminded me about what the WWII veterans felt when they saw Saving Private Ryan in the theaters, which I figured you may have read before. We'd go mum for a while after we witnessed something traumatizing. And same sentiments about the use of music in horror. I get more freaked out by random noises without any soundtrack playing whatsoever in the background, or some entity who went at you all of a sudden without warning. Funny enough, creepers really excel at this, especially when they're in the dark, deep into the caverns. |

| I wouldn't call the RedLetterMedia crew psychotic for laughing at an obscure video of "critters" like squirrels and gophers being shot dead Exploding Varmints Volume 1. Found the video while I was typing this. Yay. |
 |
| No, At least not for the 95% of horror movies, There are some that are just fucked which i'm sure people with a morbid sense of humor laugh at but psychopathic? not even close |
| i like laughing at bad horror movies because otherwise i get scared too easy so no :) |

But I think zombie films should be approached with a different mindset than being scared. I think in general, spectacle in horror makes everything less scary. Usually the more subtle, the more genuinely scary it will be. Creepers? I don't think I've heard of that. What is the full title of it? |

I guess we've said enough about what we've agreed upon horror and there's not much I can add furthermore. And I say that as someone who isn't a fan of the genre itself :P Creeper? Aw man. Nah, that was a subtle Minecraft joke I pulled off there. It's not a movie xD |
|
| Yeah that's the literal definition of a psycho if you're a sheltered little faggot lol |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| I laugh at how bad and predictable they are |
| Considering Jason kills off a camper as they try to hide in a sleeping bag... no, I wouldn't say that's right, 'cause that scene was hilarious. Not to mention they call something like the Final Destination series a horror, but it is actually a single edit from becoming a comedy. I mean, it's real dumb how some people die. |
| "You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru) Just to list a couple of biases. Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice. Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing. |
| Don't see the problem if they get killed by their own stupidity. |
 |
| Aren't movies for your own entertainment however you see fit? Nothing wrong with laughing at a horror movie |
| I mean if the movie is so bad it's funny, I would too. |
 |
| they probably are just trying to make fun of the movie before the scary shit comes. |
 |
| Generally speaking no. Because the film you are watching it can be so bad that it is funny. Whether it is from poor acting, writing, effects, even the plot. With my case I seen a lot of good, bad, even cheesy Horror Films that they kinda of melt together that I can laugh at just about anything. |
| Nah, plenty of them are hilariously terrible and/or over-the-top to the point of absurdity. |
Take care of yourself |
