Do proponents have a harder time with horror entertainment?

Was curious about this, as sometimes it seems horror fans who like very disturbing stuff involving the spiritual world don't actually believe such things exist?

For myself, given my own "Deep Weird" potentially paranormal experiences as a child...I've always been wary of horror movies. As an adult part of my reason is that a lot of horror movies are terrible films with contrived plots...

...but I'd be lying if I didn't admit part of it is that in some way these movies seem like they could touch on something potentially real..

No. Horror is my favorite genre. I always watch horror movies and read horror novels etc.

Interesting - I've long been a Stephen King fan but usually the Good guys win in his works. 

Did just watch Bring Her Back, Good Boy, and Talk to Me, but I have to admit I looked up the endings because I usually dislike horror movies where Evil wins. Weapons...I think I saw this without looking up the ending...
