The Final Girl
You read the room before the room reads you.
You like your horror lean, fast and survivable. Masks, knives, a killer with a name and a heroine who refuses to die. You notice the open window and you never split up.

The eight horror fan types
Every type, with the films we'd hand you first. Each title links to its full story on Horror Planet.
The Ghost Hunter
You want to know who is walking upstairs.
Creaking floors, cold spots and the slow reveal of something that was here first. You are happiest when the dread builds for an hour and the scare lands once.
The Pagan
You stayed for the festival.
Remote villages, old rites, flower crowns and a smile that means something else. You love horror that hides in daylight and in traditions older than the people keeping them.
The Mad Scientist
You want to see what is under the skin.
Mutations, creatures, practical effects and the body as a battleground. You rewind the transformation scene to see how they did it.
The Unreliable Narrator
You suspect everyone, including yourself.
Gaslighting, obsession and the moment the floor tilts. The monster you fear most is a person, maybe the one holding the camera, maybe the one watching.
The Cosmic Wanderer
You walked down the hallway that should have ended.
Liminal spaces, found footage, curses that spread and things too large to understand. You like horror that leaves the door open and the explanation out.
The Gothic Romantic
You would invite the vampire in.
Candlelight, castles, doomed love and monsters with better manners than the villagers. You want horror that is beautiful first and frightening second.
The Gorehound
You came for the practical effects budget.
Chainsaws, buckets of stage blood and the laugh that comes right after the scream. You judge a horror film by how loud the room gets.
