does anyone here like horror movies?

ToMacco
Not dumb ones. Very few horror movies are any good.

The Blair Witch Project
Psycho
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Birds

most other things suck ass sad

Thomas H
NO!!
The shining is good! probably the only on to!

BackFire349
all of those you guys listed are damn good, texas chainsaw is the best. some other good ones are

dawn of the dead
evil dead
dead alive
last house on the left
cannibal holocaust
night of the living dead

ToMacco
What's with you and death?

BackFire349
hey i didnt make the names buddy smile i just said theyre good

Thomas H
Michael bay....how almost everybody hate here, exept me, bad boy and a couple of other people, are going to make a remake og the chainsaw masacre...if anyone is interessted to read more, you can visit www.movies.go.com

ToMacco
btw, The Shining was pretty good.

So was The Sixth Sense.

BackFire349
yes i heard about that thomas, when i first heard that it brought a tear of agony to my eye, micheal bay has no right to remake that movie, he's going to screw it up so horribly. when will hollywood learnd not to mess with the classics.

Thomas H
I would Not caractherise Texas chainsaw masacre as a classic!
And if you dont like that michael is going to direct is...simply dont watch it!!

ToMacco
Hopefully there will be an 'accident' on the set, and Michael Bay will be killed. evil face smokin'

Thomas H
Are you sick???

BackFire349
texas chainsaw massacre is very much a classic. its one of the best horror movies ever made and pretty much kick started the slasher genre for other now classics like halloween friday the 13th and what not, none of them have been as good as chainsaw massacre of course. Leatherface is still the premier masked killer of all horror movies. and dont worry, you can rest assured i wont be going to see that sure to be piece of crap insult to the original. and tommaco, we can only hope they get a faulty chainsaw. wink

Thomas H
Whats wrong here???
Anyway I would not charactherise a 6,8 (as it has on the imdb) as a classic!!

finti
is that the one with a very young Jodi Foster????

Aquarius87
My faveroute horror is sleepy hollow.
And backfire that pic you have is Raw

BackFire349
last house on the left doesnt have jodie foster, its wes cravens first movie..... oh...and i guess if a movie doesnt have a high rating on imdb it must be bad huh? do you have no mind of your own.

Thomas H
Ohh, yes!!!
The thing is....imdb is one of the most visited movie sites ever, and I just feel like trusting them!!!

finti
I have to see the movies myself before I can give a judgement, never care how others rate them.

BackFire349
exactly finiti. see a movie before judging it, the fact remains its one of the most inventive and innovative horror movies ever. that alone makes it a classic.

Machine
there are two tings n ife you never ever F**k with in the presence of backfire 1.food ,2.texas chainsaw massacre....
texas chainsaw is one of the best horror films of all time ,it will always sustain this glory ,it is a scary ,funny ,gorey and pure madding not to believe this movie isnt a classic ,just because some crappy website(imdb) said so ,dont ever trust a place like that if they have godfather and casino over paths of glory and clockwork orange

BackFire349
imdb is a good website, and for the most part, their ratings are right on, but as far as horror movies go, theyre list is laughable at best. to them the sixth sense is one of the best horror movies of all time. they are mistaken.

finti
well just like you BF they are entitled to an opinion of best movies. They picked sixth sence, so be it.

BackFire349
but, the problem is...its not a horror movie. roll eyes (sarcastic) its more a suspense thriller.

Thomas H
The godfather should not be on the top 250.. at least not on the first spot!!!

BackFire349
i actually agree.

Ushgarak
Ok, no offence, but if we have another Godfather argument I regret that I will have to track you all done and kill you. Rules are rules!

BackFire349
there was no argument, i was agreeing with the guy.

Machine
yeah so godfather sucks .... HAHAHHAAH i will rule the day

micki11
can u please changem that gross picture because it is making me feel sick!

Thomas H
Agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BackFire349
anyways back to horror movies

Thomas H
Right!!

I loved The shining!!!!
Can you call scream a horror movie?? Anyway, the first was good, the others where ridicolus!!!!!

ToMacco
They're gonna make a horror movie; It will be about me hunting and killing you bastards for badmouthing the Godfather.

Saying the Godfather is bad make you look really stupid, guys.

LanceWindu
The Godfather is the best.

"I know it was you Freto."

BackFire349
shining is great.

finti
talking about way too long and boring movies, but I dont understand what the Godfather has to do in a horror movie thread.

BackFire349
yeah, thats why i sad "back to horror movies"

Thomas H
stick out tongue laughing out loud

Gundark
I like Michael Myers....but the third Halloween was stupid.

Motel Hell is good for a bunch of laughs.

ToMacco
The first one was the only good one.

BackFire349
the first ones good, i dont know why people make such a big deal out of it though, its very linear. its like a watered down version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

ToMacco
. . . confused roll eyes (sarcastic) No, not really.

BackFire349
but then again, every slasher made after chainsaw massacre is a inferior.

BackFire349
not to mention ive never really liked micheal myers as a villian, he was to boring. he was just your typical masked villian with no personality who just killed for no reason.

ToMacco
There havn't been too many good 'slasher' movies.

BackFire349
thats very true.

Machine
yeah so that godfather movie is pretty bad

ToMacco
. . . . . . .

Dim
No..Godfather 3 was bad.

ToMacco
No it wasn't. It just wasn't as good as the first two.

Thomas H
and no..1 and 2.
anyway..lets talk horror movies!!

ToMacco
Okay;

How could they make such a piss poor sequel to a perfect horror movie (i.e. The Blair Witch Project).

BackFire349
i dunno, they just make it to capitolize on the popularity of the first one. so they dont care about making it good because they know people will see it.

Thomas H
I was so disaponted with no. 1 that I have not even botherd to check out the seqel!!!
Horror film sequels are almost verytime bad. I cant find one example of a good horror film sequel...maybe freddy kruger but no one else!!

ToMacco
I think The Blair Witch Project is the most terrifying horror movie ever made.

BackFire349
theres a few sequals that are good....

dawn of the dead
evil dead 2
day of the dead
army of darkness

Machine
yeah but the original and the sequels to godfather just plain suck godfather sucks

Dim
No it didn't..BUT ANYWAY!..horror movies..


What ever happend to the Hellraiser series?

TeCk-IcE
Hellraiser sucks big time!!!!!!!

It was a pain to se `em all!!!

Thomas H
they suck so bad....it aint even a word for it!!!

BackFire349
so can everyone hear agree that LeatherFace is the premier villian of any horror movie?

Machine
hhmmm i dont realy call him a villian ,hes much different ,hes not your typical cut slash stab kind of killer ,hes realistic .its hard to call him a villian ,im sure you had trouble defining him to backfire but he is the best horror character ever.

BackFire349
he's a villian, its just that he's so much more complex then the other villians that its hard to put him in the same category with them, but he is a villian, he's the bad guy of the movie, he just has a kind of innocence to him.

ToMacco
What makes Leatherface complex? He's a physco who chops people up with a chainsaw, instead of a knive.

Innocents to him? What the hell?

BackFire349
yes thats right, innocence. he doesnt know that what he's doing is wrong, he thinks he has to do it to survive, he does it out of nessesity. thats why he kills people, if he doesnt he'll starve and get beaten by his older brother. and he actually has a personallity which is something that cant be said for most of the villians in other slasher movies. watch the movie again sometime, you'll see what im talking about, its not something you'll notice if you just watch the movie once.

ToMacco
. . . um. . .you're not going to kill your family, are you BackFire?

BackFire349
no, thats more along the lines of a micheal myers fan stick out tongue

Machine
backfire is the type of guy that would kill ,moron bible pushers.

Thomas H
stick out tongue

Machine
eek!

BackFire349
yeah, if they werent to be punished by god for bugging everyone.

Machine
horror movies are the best genre ,because they can be made by anyone with an idea ,an it doesnt take millions to make they can be made with a few bucks and a camera ,but other genres like drama can be expensive to make .and comedy is probably the cheapest to make becuase you dont need visual effects like gory horror movies but comedy you need good writers to make a god comedy.........i dont know why i said this or where im going with it but ......ummmm

BackFire349
actually you made a good point, how horror can be made by anyone who has an idea, its very true. just look at blair witch or bad taste.

ToMacco
Horror movies are probably the hardest genre to pull off effectively.

There haven't been too many great scary movies.

BackFire349
also true tommaco

Machine
some of the best horror films are just basic ideas ,a haunted hotel,a masked serial killer,a haunted forest .. these are just a few .. but these little ideas are surrrounded by compilcated ideas like chainsaw massacre hs a masked killer ,but there are so many lairs to him its amazing .but now these new teeny bopper spook fests (i refuse to call them horror's) they try to over whelm you with a horrible complected story that is surrounded by simple characters

remo williams
has any one seen the 2000 release--House of 1000 corpses?--done by rob zombie? and americn psycho is not at all bad either

BackFire349
house of 1000 corpses comes out this year, it got pushed back.

remo williams
thanks for the heads up--didnt know, thats why i asked

BackFire349
yeah, ive been waiting for it too

remo williams
rosemarys baby--good movie , even if its a bit old
blair witch--scared the piss out of me for the first time in a long time
TCM---started it all for me
the clown in poltergeist...(shiver)
event horizon--not bad for sci-fi/horror
night of the living dead--cool example of low budget being high quality
alien--sci-fi or horror?--who cares, it was good

just a few things off the top of my head

BackFire349
yep, TCM is the greatest.
