  I once had a woman friend who loved to go to "horror" films with me.  We

  would go to the local drive-in on "Fright Night" and watch a series of

  various offerings which would vary from 'Night of the Living Dead' to 

  some of the old Vincent Price movies.  She just enjoyed them to pieces.

  Some of the fun would be to try to scare hell out of each other during

  a part of the movie in which the other would be engrossed and not on
  
  their guard.  Usually one or the other of us got in a good one during 

  the evening.

  Sometimes when the movies were especially poor/slow/booring, we tended

  to find other things to do -- you know how drive in movies are...........


  NOW THE POINT OF THE STORY:

  I haven't found any other women that shared this genre of movie.

  Anyone have any opinions/facts/truths about why women don't seem

  to care for "horror/scary" type movies??????????????
