Some people just derive some enjoyment from being scared, whether it's the adrenaline surge from **BOO!!** jump-scares or seeing people pleading for their existence at axe-point and thinking "better him than me." I for one look forward to the launch of The Horror Channel and really dig horror movies, as long as they're at least decent and show a little bit of creativity. My wife doesn't get into them much at all, so I usually wind up seeing them by myself. I think it's a fair trade for being able to skip American romantic comedies.
