This doesn't sound like a probable mixture - "horror buffs" don't seem to have a lot on offer other than glib opinions and irrelevant facts and figures, and are more likely to want to make the next sorry George Romero derivative/homage/ripoff than to consider other avenues.

Most amature experimental efforts appear self-conciously handled, and still signify nothing at the end.

with or without ghost?

Okay, that's a worthy opinion. I was unclear in my argument. My point is that there is more access to the means of making movies. The digital medium has barely been explored. I am certain there is still something new to say with horror. Times change, and so do fears.

horror will never get good - it will stay EVIL!

i actually think the best horror is overseas at the moment - americans are too scared of eveyrthing to want real horror at the moment

I love movies that are controversial, hell I like anyone who is controversial. Don't you think that is a way to get people to view your stuff is make it the most offending to anyone you can? That just my point of view.

I do agree, actually. It's just too bad that there are so few willing to take the risk in this age of bland, family-friendly entertainment.

I feel that if something is too 'scary' the universal amount of money you will make will be at a minimum; hence all these fat cat mainstream hunk o crud horror films keep coming out.
Ben was a good boy, until one night on Halloween he realized something, he was Satan. Insert crappy Cgi-action sequence.
‘well pop glad we got over that one’ ‘yes son ,but for how long….’ Make a sequel, the end.

Good point of view. I agree w/ you on many of your statements.

Thats a bit of an ass kiss.
