By realistic I mean something that is at least somewhat grounded in reality and isn't outright impossible (Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Scream) as opposed to horror films with supernatural/scifi elements (Dracula, Nightmare on Elm Street, Alien)

Supernatural. It adds that extra layer of dread that’s so important (eg. The Shining and Hereditary).

Hybrid. The Blair Witch Project, The Woman in Black... stuff like that which invites the supernatural while trying to project everything in reality.

Prefer a proper ghost story over anything else in horror, though I do love psychological pics as well.

Although realistic horror is probably the better category, the other is just more creative and fun to be had with.

Supernatural for me, there's enough sick shit in real life/the internet so a little 'impossible' fantasy is more interesting. but of course not always I also love some 'real' horror from time to time.

By realistic I mean something that is at least somewhat grounded in reality and isn't outright impossible (Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Scream) as opposed to horror films with supernatural/scifi elements (Dracula, Nightmare on Elm Street, Alien) I like both. But what really matters to me isn't the subject, but the film language. I don't care if its in the real world or has supernatural elements, what I care about is whether or not its actually scary, creepy, well told.
Jump scares don't get me. In fact I find them annoying. Gore doesn't do it for me. For the most part its used ridiculously. Am I suppossed to be scared by geysers of blood? I find it more annoying than anything else.
But a movie like Hereditary for example, or The Witch... those movies had creepy vibes right from the first scene. Strong stories, great performances, and when the scares kicked in they really had some punch.
Look at the use of film language in this short. Far scarier than most horror movies that make it to the theatre. On the strength of this short they made the movie.

Supernatural and sci-fi tend to creep me out more. Though done badly, I also hate them more.

I can handle supernatural/sci-fi horror much more than I can more realistic stuff. I like stuff like Blair Witch, the Fog, the Thing, etc. On the other hand, I know a lot of people might laugh but the first "Strangers" still scares me like no other modern film. For instance this scene:  No thanks! |

No preference either way, the writing and directing always come first. If both of those are good, the film is good regardless of theme.
