When I saw that "
really dumb" underlined I was happy because I hoped it would be a link to something horrible, but it was just regular underlined text with no link in it and I became sad again.
really dumb
Thees something horribly unspeakable, rejoice and don't be sad
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.
