    I don't usually, but every once in awhile I will. Went through a course that runs through my church and the guy was talking about how watching horror movies are not good for us to watch. Gives the devil a footstep into our lives.

    I don't watch blood, guts and gore, not even on hospital dramas or detective series.

    Spiritual transfer?

    Stephen King, is so very successful because when he was 5 or so, he watched his best friend get run over by a train. He claims he doesn't remember it. Why then, are so many of his movies have something about someone getting run over?
    I believe that these horrible traumatic events that some writers have experienced are making them money and therefore glorifying Satan and sharing the trauma with everyone. I work in mental health and there is a documentable syndrome of secondary and even further out trauma experienced by caregivers helping people that have told gorry stories.
    In other words, there seems to be some sort of transfer.
    This changes brain chemistry and I believe makes us desire more and makes us vulnerable to Satan's attacks.

    A waste of time....as Bro, David said.

    Christian fellowship.........is the most precious thing in the world.

    That is the track for success in life.
    Jesus said "I am the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE"......Without the WAY there is no GOING, without the TRUTH there is no KNOWING without the LIFE there is no LIVING....Thats what Jesus said.

    I love horror movies, but not slasher films

    Ok...I admit it...I like horror movies. As a matter of fact, I just watched the new Paranormal Activity. There was no blood, but it was very creepy. I don't like slasher films, and I don't think I've watched one since I was like 14. I do understand the need to be mindful of what you "ingest" as far as entertainment. Watching something like Paranormal Activity makes me put up my guard even stronger...it is a movie essentially about a demon and how it reeks havoc on two girls lives.

    I like horror movies that have a good plot and are entertaining...and that are creepy-I can't help it, it's my favorite movie genre.
    Do I watch them on a daily basis? No. Once in a while for a little "unwind" is good for me. (You may ask how a horror movie is an "unwind", but like I said, it is my favorite movie genre.)

    Am I inviting the enemy in when watching such movies?...*sigh* I hope not, because I really do like watching a good horror film (and good ones are hard to find these days, trust me. My choices are very few and far between).

    Like I have mentioned a few times, I'm a new Christian and I am open to any and all suggestions and ideas, but I hope I'm not looked at as a bad person because of my choice of movies, LOL!

    I don't watch horror movies because I find them disturbing and demonic. I used to watch them when I was young in my faith, but growing more close to God and being more sensitive to his Spirit, I find that I'm getting more convicted to stop watching certain kinds of movies and tv shows that once I thought it was fine and okay.

    I don't necessarily leave a movie or show because something horrible happens in the movie, but if a movie is based on horror. demonic beings, and or gruesome scenes, then I leave as fast as I can. Although I wish I could leave at rapture speed if I run into said movies.
    When someone dies without Christ, it's worse than an arrow to the knee.

    "Be careful little eyes what you see"...

    I don't watch horror movies because I do not want that imagery in my mind. The enemy uses such images to torment people and cause night terrors and such. The enemy can not use that which is not there to start with.
