As for me and horror, I'm not quite sure what to say. If it gets to me, it affects me very unpleasantly, and if it doesn't I'm usually rather bored. I rented "Scream" and flipped off my VCR very quickly--it wasn't doing anything for me or my wife. As Freud observed, morbid dread is the result of repressed sexuality, and I've apparently got too much repressed sexuality to have it tweaked casually, or something. (I didn't sleep for a week after reading "Dracula" in the 7th grade.)

I did check out "I Know What You Did Last Summer II" (or whatever the title was) but that was on the hope I'd see Jennifer Love Hewitt in a tight tank top (a form of repressed sexuality that I was quite happy to have tweaked). You'll see a bigger version of the following picture of Hewitt if you click on it.

Religion-wise, you are at least partially misinformed: I was baptized a Catholic, but was switched over by my apostate mother early in life to Presbyterian Protestantism.
