Ahhhhhhhhh! The Horror... the horror... gah!

Personally I find horror flicks are like comedy... I usually start laughing and can't stop, or have to leave to let others watch them... I watched The Omen: 666 Malediction with my sister... there's this part where the girl is in the bathroom brushing her teeth and this face mask thing appears behind her, she jumped at least two feet in the air... I laughed and laughed it was great... I've never had a problem with horror... I remember as a kid watching Aliens in 86 or 87... my mom was sitting beside me and I guess she thought she was helping me by trying to cover my eyes in a scary part... anyway she screamed and stabbed me in the eye with her nail I was so mad I could only watch the rest of the movie with one eye, and my injured eye kept watering uncontrollably.

The gory ones I do not like... they don't give me nightmares, they just feel wrong to watch. It's like watching something perverse that you know you shouldn't see or even imagine... they make me depressed and angry. Like the SAW movies, and Turistas... even Se7en had more story line and direction than these pure gore flix they put out today... these ones just pull out the whole story and leave you only with the dementia and perverse gory scenes. Even if the good guys eventually win, they leave me drained, so I don't bother watching that garbage.

I'll watch a thriller, psychotic stuff, horror in traditional sense especially if its based on mythical horror creatures or demonic creatures. Those I don't mind so much... I prefer different movie genres though.

The mystery is nobody knows...Is he a mutant child with a trench coat? Or some sort of adult creature that never went through puberty? Maybe we'll never know...Maybe we weren't meant to...

Thx Happy New Year!

This is going to make me sound like a serial killer or something, but watching a good horror movie actually relaxes me. But then, I've been a fan of horror films since I was too young to see them. There isn't much on film that upsets me. Ultimately, I know that what I'm seeing on screen isn't real and is simply geared for the purpose of entertainment. Real life is much more frightening to me.

Lovely ;P
Though I actually like cheesy (and un-cheesy) 80's stuff, I agree that this clip does indeed belong in this much underestimated horror-thread.

On a different note, I guess I don't think of gory films as scary, for it indeed had something perverse in it, rather than actually being frightening. For this reason, I never really enjoyed gorefest-movies which demand they be taken seriously. I personally feel they should either have a good story backing it up (Event Horizon), or balance it out with some comedy elements (like in Braindead, Evil Dead, Bad Taste etc). Giving some form of meaning or making light of it makes gore just a part of the film, instead of some misguided attempt to display perverse imagery as being "scary" or even emotionally charged tools to make a more intense film. I think such movies say more about their director than they do about any viewers who find it distasteful.

In terms of scary, I'm a sucker for things like Silent Hill, The Grudge and The Eye. Stuff like that. It's more of a love-hate kind of thing, as films (or anything, actually; from stories to documentaries about ghosts... And shows like Big Brother, of course) like that scare the living daylight out of me, but also fascinate me because of it.
I'm actually much like a sadist in this.
... And a huge nerd, but that isn't really the point.
^^

I remember scaring the living crap out of my brother, there this video on the internet that has a backstreet boys song on it. And when it plays you relax saying 'oh this is a great song' but then this monstrosity appears on the screen and screams. Its like the face from the excorsist, I got into so much trouble that night, because he was crying so loud. Hehe..I think he had nightmares for months. To this day he gets scared of little things, I think I traumatized him :/
