as far as the "why do you want to be scared" i'm gonna rip off the great Anthony Hopkins if i may, he puts it so well.
people like to get put in a controlled environment and have a scare so when they leave the theater or turn off the tv, they see that life is still good and that these things arn't in real life. Whats the first thing people do when they see a baby? BOO!
Well, I don't get scared by horrors, though there have been a few that mildly disturbed me.
Why do I like horror movies? I like the way Dean put it, 'cause I like to see people die horrible deaths. Ever since I got into horror, action has a less appeal to me. For they are both similar, the difference being horror can be a lot more graphic and rarely uses guns (which action uses 99% of the time).
ive loved horror movies ever since my family bought a vcr in 1980,i mean so much so that i have a massive collection that is increasing every week,i own movies from all around the globe,i dont just watch horror movies i watch ever kind of movie,but my forte is horror every movie i own is the uncut version,i do not buy cut or bootleg movies,the total is now coming up to the 6500 mark,but i have been collecting since 1983,why do i love horror movies its hard to say probably because most are complete fantasy i allso like to see how many inventive ways the filmaker can kill some1,lol,im a GORE HOUND,what can i say ?
