    favorite? I would have to say.... ghost story.

    I love myself a great ghost story. Depending on the monster, a good monster story is seconded.

    What are some examples of psycological or thrillers? I can think of a few, but they involve ghosts.. so I dont think thoseare right!

    Don't Say A Word, What Lies Beneath, Wait Until Dark, Hide and Seek, Seceret Window etc...

    I'm a ghost story fan.

    I don't mind the other subgenres but nothing engages me like a good old mystery unravelling and nothing scares me more than a quiet, empty (perhaps?) house.

    The best of them all - The Changeling.

    Depends on my mood but what I've seen the most of is psychological horror - the Japanese do a great job of this. Something that messes with your head (Reincarnation, Audition, One Missed Call, The Grudge) - and often when it's remade in America it's not as scary or as good, with some exceptions.

    Although a good gory movie is appreciated sometimes - Hostel still makes me cringe and I like it!

    I love Japanese horror. Wether it be ghost or psycological. I have seen all that you mentioned as well. Japanese have a great way of making their **** freeky.

    I regret not seeing Hostel, but during Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood, I went through a maze that was Hostel themed. It was more gory than anything. I figured if the movie was anything like the maze, then it was one gore fest that I probably shouldnt watch while eating spaghetti. I remember getting 'blood' squirted on my by a doctor tearing the flesh and muscle tissue from a guy strapped to a chair. Haunts me to this day because it was warm, scented, slimy water. I dont even want to talk about it anymore.

    I love just about every subgenre within the horror realm but I am inclined to favor ghost stories and slasher flicks. I also enjoy things that deal with vampires, werewolves , witches etc..
