I definitely love those super gorey movies, with people cut in half or getting smashed by a chair or smth! I think my favourited version of that would be if it was kind of a teen slasher, but that’s just because I like seeing more than one death in a horror movie!

body horror has been growing on me a lot lately, especially cronenburg, though i do struggle to watch things like slither and tusk, lol. i think overall just a good 80s b movie will always be my favorite! something that doesn't take itself too seriously.

I would say like slasher comedies. Or any horror with a comedic, camp, or ironic element I really enjoy.

I personally love found footage movies (Rec, as above as below...), but recently I've been growing to like slashers. Especially from the 90's/80's or set on that time.

I'd have to say Video Games... Nothing is more frightening that being IN a horror movie.

Fiction podcasts 100%. In terms of genre, I really enjoy body horror, horror/comedy, and “elevated horror” (kinda pretentious name, hope you know what I mean). I do enjoy the occasional movie, book, or game though. I live for the Scream movies.
