Everyone has a different knowledge base and I certainly wouldn't advocate a quiz, test or anything like that to determine whether someone is a horror fan or not, merely that they know something about the film they are watching and watch it in a manner which would not irritate other people in the cinema.

So basically being a horror fan is being polite.
