4 Zodiac Signs Who Find Comfort In Horror

ARIES

Thrill-seeker Aries finds excitement in the chills and scares that come with horror movies. It takes a lot to terrify this brave zodiac sign. What gives others nightmares is pure unadulterated entertainment for Aries. They cannot tear their eyes away from the screen during scenes that make others shudder and cover their eyes. For them, putting on a scary movie is not just about the fun, but also about the relaxation associated with it. Aries unwinds with TV shows and films of the genre that make their heart pump and adrenaline race. The more jump scares, the more blood, the more ominous the force of evil, the more gruesome, then the better for Aries. For fearless Aries, it’s an adventure to sit through the gore and horror. They especially enjoy slashers, survival horror, supernatural tales, “good for her” horror, and stories in which the hero or anti-heroine must outsmart their enemy to triumph in the end.

GEMINI

Gemini has a strong affinity for true crime and horror. This zodiac sign particularly enjoys immersing themselves in the subjects through literature and documentaries. It’s getting to the root of the unknown that is therapeutic to them. This zodiac sign is ruled by Mercury, the planet of intellect and the mind. Their ruling planet encourages them to be led by their curiosity, to learn, and to investigate. This takes shape in an eclectic taste in various topics and studies. For many Geminis, this means an inquisitiveness in darker explorations that others shy away from. Gemini is drawn to the mystery—the who-did-it and the why, the psychological aspects of what drives evil, and the investigative side. Many Geminis’ Roman Empires are some of the biggest unsolved cases. Gemini is the type to play a true crime podcast on their walks or their drives to work. Their nightstand is stacked with murder mysteries, gothic fiction, and real-life cases.

SCORPIO

Scorpio, the sign of death and rebirth, comes as no surprise for being a horror aficionado. They’re ruled by Pluto—the planet named after the Greek god who presides over the afterlife, which signifies transformation and governs over all that lies hidden beneath the surface. Pluto instills a natural curiosity and love for the occult and that which others consider grotesque. They’re drawn to the beauty and meaning derived from horror. The best movies of the genre, according to Scorpio, are those that impact you on a deeply emotional level. Scorpio has always sought comfort in horror because they understand the darker, more tragic aspects of life. This zodiac sign has metaphorically died and built themselves from the ashes countless times in their life. They’re someone who has experienced a lot of pain and grown from it. Horror started out as a balm for them because it showed them something uglier and more terrifying than the true-life horrors they’ve known. Horror reminds them of their strength and endless capacity to regenerate. This is why Scorpio thrives during the season of the witch and Halloween. 

AQUARIUS

Aquarius is obsessed with horror because one day they finished a book, read an article, or watched a movie that kept nagging at them—something terrifying, bizarre, unsolved, or inexplicable that left them with more questions than answers. They’re into the genre because it provides them the opportunity to analyze. It’s also just a symptom of their penchant for interests that others don’t consider “normal.” This zodiac sign has an inherent fascination with the mysteries of the universe. They feel enthralled by the thought-provoking aspects of horror, true crime, sci-fi, and conspiracy theories. A compelling scary piece of work for them asks questions about the characters, about humanity as a collective, about the depths of depravity of man—it reaches deep and makes them ask questions about themselves. Aquarius is comforted by horror because it reminds them of the nuance associated with the human experience and of something much bigger than themselves. It’s the stories that move something deep inside of them that they find the most chilling.
