Hiding from horror shows

I’ve been chatting with @MarymargII about watching horror movies. I am not into horror movies at all but I know a lot of people are. My myLot friend said she mostly watches on her own and has a big cushion that she can hide behind if the suspense gets too much. Occasionally it seems she has to leave the room so now I’ve asked if she stays within earshot.
Our son, aged about four, used to love Dr Who and wouldn’t miss an episode if he could help it. Most of the show he’d spend standing behind the couch peeping round the corner ready to pull his head in if it got to scary. Do you like horror movies and do you take defensive action if it all gets a bit much?

Yes, I like them. I have a few on queue at Netflix that I will be watching. Last night I was watching Dateline and 48 Hours though..I figured I had enough dark stories, so I watched Frankie and Grace instead. It's kind of a silly show..but it can be funny.

When I was very young I use to cover my face with my palm and peep between my fingers ready to close when it becomes unbearable, no amount of horror movies can scare me now
but I still love watching from time to time.

It's funny how we think peeping between our fingers will keep us safe!

I'm not inclined to watch horror genre, but then I simply don't watch many movies or much television,

I mostly find horror movies funny for some reason. Especially the ones from the 80's.
