Why do you like gore?

I take notes so i know what to do when there's raw chicken that's sitting in my sink.

Okay, i think all horrorfans hope to be scared again, like when we where little, but after all these years of seeing these movies we have become more and more immune to their scares, so that's why the gore comes in, first to scare us or to shock. But personally i like to see what new special effects they have come up with, and admitt it it's very entertaining. To me the ultimate GORE movie is still John Carpenters 'The Thing'
(And don't worry i love the tread!! 👆

Anyway after looking at like 20 horror threads, I realized that half the people who go to see horror movies see it just because of the gore (myself almost included)

Just out of curiosity, did you enjoy Halloween or the Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Since neither was especially gory ...

Halloween was actually one of the first horror movies I've ever seen, so it's definetely one of my favorites, even though there was like no gore. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre didn't actually scare me considering it was more disturbing than gory if anything.

it helps highten (i cant spell) the mood. Bringing it to a Brutal level. Definately adds to an already great movie.

I sometimes just laugh at it .. usually because the application was so well done and insane that i would want to shake the mans hand that set it up.

good examples of GREAT horror movies that didnt need gore to be successful. Like backfire always says "you complete many of the scenes in your mind" and its still very effective in altering your mood sensations.
