You won't watch the Passion of the Christ but you'll buy The Exorcist

[Haunted]

How many of you catch grief from your family members and friends about being a horror fiend? This also goes to our Christian friends/fiends who may catch the most crap about their horror hobbies.


Just to note, I don't want to see the Passion the same way I don't want to watch Jeepers Creepers2 or anything with Rose McGowan.

Not really. everyone i choose to associate with is very "whatever you want for your life is fine" and open minded. if someone were to judge me on those things, i wouldnt have anything to do with them in the first place....

As you can imagine, my list of freinds in the real world is quite small.

Unfortunately, I live with my folks for right now. My dad tends to be a little self-righteous. I do have a friend that gives me grief about my horror obsession just because she gets grossed out easily. Fuck her, I love this shit. Can't get enough.

I personally don't give two shits what "other" people think.Never have, never will.

Actually The Exorcist is a very religious movie. One mans faith being in question and him overcoming his doubts. sorta.......I'm sure the fall down the stairs brought him closer to God.:D

[Ritualistic]

I sometimes get shit from my friends about how obssessed I am with horror. and my brother thinks I am insane because that is all I watch .. oh well who gives a fuck

[Vampenguin]

I get shit from everyone I know....


My parents hate it.


My friends kinda like horror, but consider me hopelessly obsess (What smart friends I have :D )

But, I can end argumets pretty quick. Whenever someone says TCM was true.....They're shot down. One guy said Vincent Price wasnt in Edward Scissorhands. Wrongo. Any argument involving any movie actually.....I always win. Then I get proof as soon as I get a chance

I don't. My parents are cool about that. Hell, my dad showed me Halloween when I was five (bastard). Although my g/f's parents seem kinda strict about it. I don't know, having never met them, but going by what she says of them they are.

I catch some flax, but it's mainly because I watch and own so many movies almost all of them are Horror/Sci-Fi. I re-watch a lot of films too, and some people can't figure that out. I go to the theatres a lot during the day, alone, and some of my friends think that is just plain weird.

I saw The Passion of the Christ at the theater, it's one man's opinion of how events unfolded as portrayed in the Bible, nothing more.

I watched an interview once with one of the Priest's who was consulted during the filming of The Exorcist. He told of how many of the incidents which occur in the movie, are based on actual events. But he said it was very rare for more then one or two of these incidents to occur, and that the afflictions suffered in the movie are far and above any extreme.

Why not watch both movies, it's the age old battle of good vs. evil.

Boy do I relate to what you said....yes I get all the same shit from people I know! :rolleyes:

Everyone thinks I'm extremely weird anyway. :p
But the few friends that I do have---most of them like horror.
And my mom & dad don't say anything bad about me loving horror movies...actually my mom loves them almost as much as I do. My dad will watch them, and he likes the science fiction-horror but alot of the movies I watch, he doesn't really say much [good or bad] about them.
Most of my other family members are probably not too into horror movies but not many people say anything about it. They just put me down because of the way I dress or something.

But on occasion somebody says something about it when I mention loving horror movies...like at my acting classes...one of our teachers made us get up and tell our names and why we were there and what we were interested in(acting, modeling, etc.) and I said I wanted to make horror movies...and she said "That's kinda creepy" or something like that. :o Probably because I was wearing black clothes too...I guess that makes me evil. Alot of people say I would make a good horror movie girl, though. I just look like a psycho. :D
