10 Killer Reasons Why Being A Horror Fan Is Awesome

Any good horror fan doesn't need me to tell them why being a horror fan is so damn awesome, but I feel like I need to write this article more for the outsiders. It's no doubt that horror fans get the worst reputation out of any genre fans, because we love movies themed around death, scares, monsters, ghosts, gore, and everything else you wouldn't want your mother watching. We're sick and twisted individuals, right? Wrong. Completely wrong. If you think horror fans are just a bunch of Satan worshiping nutjobs, then you have no idea why being one of us is so awesome.

I mean it. We are all fucking awesome. No genre promotes more individuality, no genre celebrates more originality, and no genre stays more true to itself than the horror genre. Sure, horror fans get a bad rap, but if my experience at the New York City Horror Film Festival taught me anything, it’s that, well, “haters gonna hate,” and you know what? Fu*k ’em.

Being in that crowd of horror lovers, throwing back brews and meeting these individuals, it was just too much fun. I don’t knock people who don’t enjoy horror, it’s not for everyone and that’s pretty obvious, but don’t prematurely judge someone because they’re wearing a shirt that says “This Is My Boomstick!” That’s someone proud to show off their passion for something, no matter how different it may be.

Horror isn’t about sickos being obsessed with death. Horror is about relentless fun, thrills, and that jolt of energy you get from being properly spooked. Being scared is OK, and it reminds us how good life really is – and a true horror fan understands that.

We’re people too, you know – just with a few extra herbs and spices than most.
