Just curious. I don't really like scary movies, or games etc. Never quite understood their appeal. Most of them aren't scary anyway so I can still watch them and enjoy them most of the time.

Uh, this almost feels like a pointless topic after reading the opening statement but anyways mostly shock horror and a bit of thriller horror.
Sir, your taste in films is impeccable! Allow me to award you one giant high five of such epic proportions that all other high fives quail before it's thunderous clap!Sonicron said:
Horror that makes me wet my pants and screws with my head at the same time.
That's the best kind of horror out there.
I seriously need a game that can do just that.

Psychological horror is my favorite.
If my mind isn't thoroughly fucked with and I'm not panicking for no reason, then it's not horror in my book!
The Audition is my favorite horror film at the moment.

Cosmic horror--Lovecraft-type stuff. The concept of incomprehensible creatures that come from the absolute furthest points of space and time is pretty damn creepy when done well, although a lot of modern interpretations just decided that meant "really ugly tentacle monsters". Which completely misses the point, I think. It is, like most horror, best if you don't explain everything to the viewer, and if the horrifying monsters are mostly left to the imagination.
The best of the genre I've read recently is the internet's own SCP foundation. This [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-093] and this [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-682] are good examples of what I'm talking about. Scary in inexplicable ways, and there's very little exposition to demystify things.

I watch any, it's got to be psychological horror, also stuff like Lovecraft appeals to me. Although, most horror doesn't...
The kind of horror that operates on foreboding and despair rather than simple jump scares and gore. If the narrative can offer a glimpse of legitimate hope, then crush it mercilessly without resorting to simple deus ex machina, it often ends up one of those metaphorical punches in the gut that make particularly empathetic people genuinely ill at ease and can stick with them for days.
