As dark and cavelike as I can possibly get my room to be. I try not to even watch movies until it's completely dark outside.

Dimmed lights but not totally dark. I turn on a light in the adjoining room very low (it's on a dimmer switch, so I dial down quite low) to get some soft light without glare, but nothing too bright.

I usually keep a lamp on. The best was having a Lava lamp on top the entertaiment center, made for good ambient lighting. But unfortunatley the lava lamp was my ex's and I haven't been willing to shell out the $$$ for a new one.

But horror movies? Lights OFF - My Little Pony Nightlight - ON

lights out. but, i have a 120-inch diagonal 16x9 front projection screen in my living room. the glow from the screen alone lights up the room.
