What is your favorite decade of horror and why?
'80s definitely.  All the big slasher franchises started then and I love the '80s music and clothes.

What is the most memorable horror films that made an impact on you as a child?
Alien - mom took me to see it in the theater and she fell sleep during it 

Do you prefer practical special effects, CGI, or both?
Practical but I don't mind CGI if it's not obvious.

What is your favorite classic/gothic horror Icon?
Peter Cushing. 

What is your favorite Horror Film Series?
I've got all but one of the Friday the 13th films on DVD so I guess I'll go with them. 

What is your least favorite kind of Horror creature, and why?
Werewolves.  I always find them kind of corny.

What is the most memorable horror film you saw at the theater or drive-ins?

If you had to choose between Slasher, Supernatural, Fantasy, or Science Fiction Horror- What
I love horror and I love sci-fi, so put the two of them together and I'm in heaven

Probably Bride of Chucky.

Which horror film do you ONLY like the first one, but HATE the sequels?
Nightmare on Elm Street.

Generally, What type of horror do you prefer?
Sci-fi horror but since they're pretty rare I end up watching a lot of slashers.

Is there any Remakes that you actually like?
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake with Jessica Biel is a favorite.  Also The Thing, The Fly, and I'm sure several other I can't think of right now. 

Has a horror film ever really scared you? if so, which film?
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake made me feel really tense throughout.

Not really.  I've had many favorites over the years but I watch them so many times I get rather bored with them, and then new favorites come along.

Do you have a LEAST favorite horror film, that you hate?
Death Tunnel was putrid.  And Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid was so predictable and cliched it actually made me mad.

Out of the iconic 80s Slasher killers, (Freddy, Michael, Jason, etc.) Who is your favorite?
Jason is my man.  I really like and/or love just about every movie in that series except for Jason Goes To Hell.

Are you a fan of the new 'Found Footage' breed of horror films?
I've seen several of them that were actually pretty good.

Both.  I enjoy a ton of old classic stuff and I also like a lot of the direct-to-video stuff that's come out over the last 25 years.

What films do you watch on the Halloween Holiday each year?
On Halloween night I used to be Sorority House Massacre 2 and Slumber Party Massacre, but now it's whatever I'm in the mood for.  During October though I just watch a ton of horror movies.  Old, new, classic, low budget trash, and everything in between.

What is your favorite Horror film Chase scene?
need to get back on that 1.

[ER]

What is your favorite decade of horror and why?
The 1990s because it saw the re-emergence of true horror movies as opposed to the cop-out, low-brow slasher genre that dominated the 1980s. (Not that I was ever allowed to actually see those back then.)

What is the most memorable horror films that made an impact on you as a child?
I loved The Haunting which I saw with my Uncle Pat when I was about seven. You know, at the same age, though, The Wizard of Oz frightened me. Figure that out.

Do you prefer practical special effects, CGI, or both?
Sometimes a film is best leaving both out but special effects seem more solid than CGI.

What is your favorite classic/gothic horror Icon?
Edgar Allan Poe.

What is your favorite Horror Film Series?
I don’t have one. I think the strongest horror films are the stand-alone ones.

What is your least favorite kind of Horror creature, and why?
I have never found zombies interesting.

What is the most memorable horror film you saw at the theater or drive-ins?
I saw The Sixth Sense all alone in an empty theater and was actually able to be amazed at its big reveal.

If you had to choose between Slasher, Supernatural, Fantasy, or Science Fiction Horror- What
Science Fiction.

What is your favorite Horror Comedy?
I agree with Beetlejuice in that every time I see The Exorcist it just keeps getting funnier….

Which horror film do you ONLY like the first one, but HATE the sequels?
The Ring.

Generally, What type of horror do you prefer?
The sort that confronts the psychologically unexplainable that lingers around the corners of daily life can be profoundly scary in ways that films with buckets of blood and a body count rivaling a prostitute’s can never be. A film I saw in France a few years back called A l’aventure that appeared to be about one thing and right before the end suddenly shifted into the supernatural in such a way that it caught me off guard and ended up being one of the most disturbing movies I’ve ever seen. I stayed up half the night after watching it.

Is there any Remakes that you actually like?
I respected that The Shining miniseries from about 1997 tried to stay true to the book.

Has a horror film ever really scared you? if so, which film?
I have to admit Paranormal Activity gave me a restless night.

Which Horror Anthology TV series' are your favorite?
Can’t help but have fond memories of Tales from the Darkside.

Do you have a favorite Horror Film? If so, which one and why?
The Haunting. (See above.)

Do you have a LEAST favorite horror film, that you hate?
I thought Insidious was a predicable and clichéd waste of time.

Out of the iconic 80s Slasher killers, (Freddy, Michael, Jason, etc.) Who is your favorite?
Hate them all. No interest in that at all. Torture porn masquerading as something else. A low point in the industry.

Are you a fan of the new 'Found Footage' breed of horror films?
Yes.

Are you more a fan of outdated horror or modern?
Outdated.

What films do you watch on the Halloween Holiday each year?
None every year as a tradition sort of thing, but one of the most disturbing movies I ever saw I did first catch around Halloween. It’s called The Magdalene Sisters, and it’s not supernatural but it’s certainly absolutely horrific.

What is your favorite Horror film Chase scene?
Gotta admire Jack Torrance’s type-A determination in chasing his kid through that maze in The Shining.

Thanks so much for the responses, I'm finding it very interesting to see all of the different kind of answers! I think horror as a genre has one of the most prominent kinds of audience ever.  I am going to repost my own responses with some of my answers tweaked, and added to, simply because I've been reminded and inspired to say more in my answers. Also, If I could I'd add even more questions, maybe if I make another survey thread some time. Was a fun read. Look forward to reading more responses as they come too. :)

Practical for horror. But I am slowly becoming accepting to CGI when it comes to other kinds of films, like say, the Godzilla film thats coming out soon, or any other giant monster film.

Exorcist, The Haunting had its moments...

Do you have a favorite Horror Film? If so, which one and why?
I usually list Frankenstein (1931) -- saw it as a kid and it made a big impression on me.  James Whale was the most talented and stylish director of that era.

Do you have a LEAST favorite horror film, that you hate?
I'll have to think about it.

Out of the iconic 80s Slasher killers, (Freddy, Michael, Jason, etc.) Who is your favorite?
I guess Freddy, though those aren't my thing.

Are you a fan of the new 'Found Footage' breed of horror films?
Not so much.  Cannibal Holocaust did it well, with inventiveness, a long time ago.

Are you more a fan of outdated horror or modern?
I would call it "classic" rather than outdated -- that's my fandom!

What films do you watch on the Halloween Holiday each year?
I like to put on some William Castle like House on Haunted Hill or The Tingler, maybe Spider Baby and some old Kolchak episodes.

Loving all of the responses and different preferences you of you folks. You're making me gather a small list of films that I haven't seen yet. As for my mention of "outdated" horror, I don't mean any disrespect by calling it that. Hell, I usually say classic myself and don't judge a film by it's age. If anything I prefer old films to new. but, yeah. I guess I meant it in the way to ask if you are the type who closely follows every new release, or the type to swim backwards in time and relish in the history of horror cinema. :)
