I suspect some people are born that way. There is a connection between horror and the way jokes are structured, so I can see horror appearing to people who have a good sense of humor and are not easily frightened. If you enjoy irony, you'll be drawn to horror. Short creepypasta is sometimes stuctured exactly like a joke. "Bad Dream" uses this formula. "Who Was Phone" and some of the other troll pasta are similar to anti-jokes (like "The Aristocrats," but shorter).
