When you read horror, do you take the side of the protagonists or the monsters?

[Alison]

I always root for villains. I don’t subscribe to the belief that good and bad are black and white - also heroes are boring.
Also also - how dare you sacrifice me to save the whole world!!
Joker > Superman ANYDAY!!

[Adrienne L]

It depends on how annoying the protagonist is, but certain villains have my loyalty and love (Dracula, the Joker, Hill House).

[Diane]

I take great pleasure in watching horrible things happen to the humans....It's so much more fun that way...sick I know!!!

[Mary]

It honestly depends (SPOILERS AHEAD FOR BARBARIAN AND THE REMAKE OF A TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE)










For the remake of a Texas chainsaw massacre and the Barbarian I was rooting for the villains because in the remake of a Texas chainsaw massacre I found every character really annoying so I’m glad they died 😭 and for Barbarian I don’t think it was that woman/persons fault it was that crazy dudes fault and what he did to all those women

[Books]

I think it honestly depends on the characters
