There is no substitute for the theater, especially for horror
It is impossible to be frightened within the comforts of your own home...it's just too familiar and safe. Go into a public setting and something scary is instantly scarier...that and the lack of control.
At home you can turn something off to use the bathroom or pause for a snack which RUINS how the film's intentional pacing is supposed to work on your psyche.
I love watching my DVDs. It fun and it's easy...but it pales in comparison to making an event out of the viewing experience.
