I have been an atheist for over 30 years. I recall when I was younger, really liking horror movies. Halloween, Freddy, Wolf Man, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, Dr J and Mr H, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Franky.... and more.
As I have gotten older or grown in my debunking of supernatural claims, I now find horror movies about spirits, ghosts, beings from hell, gods or angels, witches, curses, magic, extremely boring. (I did enjoy 6th Sense) But mostly I no longer feel that these movies are worth the time or effort to watch. Am I alone on this? Is it age and life experience? Is it that atheism has led me to debunking so many mystical claims that any such claims, even in the movies, now bore the hell out of me?
What do you think? Has becoming an atheist affected your movie life?
