horror movies are the worst. there's the recent one called Hostel, about torture and shit. and people fucking LOVE IT. dude, torture is NOT funny, it is NOT cool. IT IS NOT ENTERTAINING.
I HATE-repeat HATE being scared. I have no idea why people like to be scared. I really dislike the feeling and justin, like you said, I've got enough scary shit in my head without adding to it! I will not watch whatever you've got up there because it's bound to keep me awake and freaking out.
I don't even like commercials for scary movies! There is this one about a lady in a pool or something. Lady in the Water? Something like that. Freaks me out a lot. And the commercial for The Ring a few years ago scared me a lot!
I like happy movies. You've Got Mail is one of my favorites. And all those Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan ones. And I love old movies. But no scary stuff!
The last scary movie I saw was Poltergiest (Not sure that's spelled right) and I'll tell you something, I was about 18 years old and I slept with the light on for a week. And that's tame stuff in comparison to scary now!
Karl, really? wow...don't you get scared at night? or have bad dreams?
what about walking into a dark house? i haven't seen many scary movies and i still hate doing it.
i've seen The Ring and that was pretty fucking scary. and i had some serious sleep problems after that. i vowed then to not watch any other horror movies. i just can't hack it.
though, i suppose some of the really OBVIOUSLY fake stuff would be funny if i were in the right mood. the shit that gets me is the stuff that could be real (like Buffalo Bill) and the creepy characters.
i had a cousin who was into serial killers when he was younger. Ed Gein and Gacy and all the rest. he would read about them and shit. i just don't understand how anyone could do that and NOT go crazy.
I can read scary stuff for some reason. I used to read a lot of Stephen King when I was younger. But for some reason seeing it is so much scarier. It was like when I closed the book it all went away. Does this make sense? :)
I guess people like horror movies cause it gives them a safe environment to enjoy or experience an emotion/s that other wise would not be possible in reality – does that make sense?
I’m not a fan of horror movies, though I’ve seen my share I guess – the ring I thought was a clever story (I defenestrate between story telling and literary fiction – whole other post) simply because it used what is supposed to be safe in regard the above, namely the device, the tv, video – it made them scary and unsafe.
I agree with j – for me it’s the real life stuff - not so much silence of the lambs, which I think is more thriller than horror - but more the accused, films that contain that particular subject matter, or feature the suffering of kids – and I don’t mean ransom, which again was another thriller.
I can get through most subject matter in a books though – I’ve read 120 days of sodom which makes King look like a kids story writer – de sade plumped the depths, I mean he really plumped the depths – I had the book on my shelf for some years after reading it – I never returned to it and actually got rid of the book, as in binned it – I’ve probably let myself in for some criticism there – you should have given it to a library etc – I don’t know why I just lifted it off the shelf and binned it – I know I’ll never read it again – just interested, has anyone else?
but definitely the king of all horror movie genres – the one that terrifies the very soul of man – the one that if watched will surely led me to be dribbling onto a bib, crayon between the toes, vacationing in a very comfy room – and that genre would be the zombie movie – forget it, game over, I’m done in – and not the whole 28 days running like feck zombie either – it’s the slow, shuffling, suffocating mass, bearing down, no escape zombies that I’m talking about – right, feck it, I’m stopping now.
yes, i think i misspoke by calling some movies horror movies when in fact they are suspense movies, or psych thrillers. the result is all the same to me, and i'm horrified by even the suspense ones, but there is a difference.
i think i saw one Friday the 13th and have never seen a Halloween or Nightmare on Elm Street. i can't watch gore (weak stomach) and add that to the suspense and fear, forget it.
I'm sorry J.B., it's not that I don't agree with you on the scary movie thing, I hate them as well and will NOT watch even a commercial on them, it's just that I find it really amusing that all you Guerrilla guys with your clinched fists in the air, being all tough and all, are somewhat child-like when it comes to things that go BUMP in the night. Really cute though.
You might want to quize My Favorite Poet on how his little sister scared the bejesus out of him one night while reading a Stephen King novel. Of course he was a little kid then.....
J.B. et al. Please let me apologize for my previous comment. I may have sounded insensitive to something that is very real and I did not mean it to come across that way. So again, sorry!
offensive? not at all. it is funny that we so called subversives and revolutionaries can't handle a scary movie or two.
and i just conjured up a funny image of your son getting scared shitless by his sister. hilarious.
Casey-
aliens are scary. one summer while taking a break from college i read the book COMMUNION by Whitley Streiber about his alleged abduction by aliens. i don't believe it, but dude it was well written and scared me. granted, i read it late at night by myself.
scary shit, man.
what about an alien zombie movie? ooohhh. there's a good idea.
Plan 9 From Outer Space - the alien zombie thing has been done - course it was the worst movie ever made, oh no, wait, that was my eldest daughters second birthday home movie, the time I forgot to hit record and we had to relight the candles, walk the cake back into the room and get everyone to sing Happy Birthday again.
