horror movies dont scare me anymore, its really the stupidity of them. I often wonder why the victim never fights back, its like they just stand there and wait for the monster or villian to kill them. They also dont have consider running really fast, using anything as a weapon logic...?? It makes me wonder if people suffer from the shock of the moment sorta thing to they deserve it in the first place.

You apparently aren't watching the right horror movies, then. Watch Antichrist... if you dare (seriously, it scarred me for life). Also John Carpenter's The Thing is pretty genuinely creepy.
Your ON!!!!
But you have to watch, the heart break club and not another gay movie. Ok?

The reality-based movies. Fantasy horror has nothing on what people did to one another for real
I think I can agree with that. Horror is usually more horrific when it is grounded and real. Which is why I thought Antichrist was so disturbing. It makes you completely identify with the characters and feel for them and then shit hits the fan in a relatively grounded and realistic way.

Not aiming at you, because I know you have good taste in film but your point took my interest.
The trick of watching a Horror movie is to invest yourself into it. Not to challenge it.
Sure there are plenty of crap Horror films out there and no suspension of disbelief is possible.
My point is, when watching a good horror film for the first time don't take the mindset of "lets see if this film can scare me" but take the "I wanna feel creeped out, Oh shit here it comes" view.
There is nothing worse than listening to people say "I watched that movie, I sucked! It didn't scare me at all."
It's like having a bunch of friends jump into a cold pool and having that one douchbag get out saying "It wasn't cold" whilst everybody else is too busy having a good time.
