I guess with horror stories I don't get as scared because the images are in my head as opposed to on a screen right in front of my eyes (was that a run-on sentence?). I suppose the main reason behind why I like horror is the same reason why I enjoy any other genre: plot. If a story has an interesting plot, I'm bound to like it. I find a lot of plots in horror stories that are unlike other genres. They typically contain more mystery than say, romance, or something like that. I also agree with Thetownofrachelnevada about horror stories containing irony and appealing to people with a good sense of humor. I apologize for my grammar (it isn't the best) and if this response was too long.

The plot is another factor that pulls me. I forgot to mention that earlier. I do prefer mystery plots in horror over the romance ones, unless it's the central base of the plot. Movies are good on occasion, but I like books more since they cover more and don't rely on jump scares to creepy out.

Also, I do appreciate these answers from all of you.
