Why Do You Like Horror Movies?

kewlie. 😎

scare factor love to be scared by a good movie

I grew up watching horror....so it's in my blood so to speak.

originality , source of our nightmares , horror films are an art , only fiew film maker really know how to make them ... today we are killing the horror genre , pissing on life devotion of the past filmmaker ... a horror film is make to entertained , create , inovate .. show poeple the dark side of humanity , make them lock there doors at night and make them look under their bed , make them think twice before going in the basement alone ... the fear , the adrenaline ... horror film is based on imagination and showing poeple wath they dont wanna see , shocking poeple , make them feel insecure... basicly this is what i like about horror ...

I personally think that horror movies are the absolutely most retarded thing in the world. MOST of them are pointless, and the only reason they're made is to see people die in various gruesome ways, like NOES for instance.

If you don't like horror movies why are you posting on this forum in a thread that asks why you like horror movies none the less.

Because I'm bored

and I'm assuming that papabeard doesn't like them either which is why he's asking the question in the first place.

any1 want a sig? if so, pm me

Ye Blood always flows it only needs to be recognized for what it really is

I just do, there's really no explanation.

Personally speaking, I blame me father! And old long gone Dublin revival houses! I guess if it wasn't for him I'd be a SCREAM fanboy by now! But I digress. Me dad was, and thankfully still is, a great fan of everything fantastic. It was he who introduced to the wonderful worlds of early television science fiction such as the original STAR TREK series and Jon Pertwee playing DR WHO.

And scared the s*it out of me by watching the likes of THE HAUNTING, episodes of CIRCLE OF FEAR and late Friday night Hammer Horrors on ITV. I have fond memories of watching THE VAMPIRE LOVERS with me late granny in tow...she hmming and hawing on the sofa about how
terrible it all was yet still straining forward with interest and glee and lapping up all the on screen action.

It was my father who brought me to see the second run BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES, DR WHO AND THE DALEKS and DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. And later, in me early teen years, to SURVIVE! [the Italian original to the anemic and shy ALIVE] and Sergio Martino's textbook TORSO which formed my love of the stalk and slash/Giallo Film.

But it was in 1982 that cinema really came home with the advent of the VCR. First film rented? FRIDAY THE 13TH of course! The era of the video nasty was in and rarely were they out of the video. DEEP RED was my first Argento film and I've never looked back! Fulci's zombies pararded across the screen and all the best bits of Tom Savini's work in the likes of THE BURNING could be seen for the first time uncut. How nasty they all were!

Ah, for them days before formative horror cinema and I was only reading about them! STARBURST and FANGORIA were regular reads then. Now it's more VIDEO WATCHDOG and the latest publications from the fabulous FAB Press! And the latest issue now and then of FANGORIA of course, for old times sakes you understand!!!

Fair enough! But something with a social tag might gets others to discuss a bit of history and personal memories regarding the horror genre.

After all, I read James Herbert and Stephen King long before I dared pay the admission fee to see the likes of THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN. I remember a long out of touch mate that tried to goad me into seeing I DON'T WANT TO BE BORN. But I chickened out and the next day he confided quietly that he flew the cinema after about ten minutes in fright! 😂 And got his money back! Cheeky b*stard! Ah, Dem were the days!!! 😮‍💨

i love watching horror movies. i love to see how the director chooses to kill of the charater. i mean , there's so many ways to die, so im guess im looking to see how many different ways there are

because it interesting not boring 💃

I got real scared when I was a kid now im like an addict looking for that same scare again

I love the rush of being home alone and getting the shit scared out of you and because my house is still in the building stage and will be for the next year (DIY job that my dad started but wont finnish) my room is outside, there is no window and it is all just chiprock so its pretty scary having to lock the house (after watching a film) lock myself out and run to my room and lock it once i am in there lol very scary hahah i can then do my art work for another couple of hourse because when i am depressed or scared i can really be creative lol! my art www.bewitchingart.tripod.com
