truth be told there are fiew real recurring monsters. Some get a sequel, but there are really 4, maybe 5 real recurring monsters that have the same identity. One was supposed to be female but the audience legitimately responded more to Pinhead. The other recurring monsters, werewolves, vampires etc. have various incarnations and don't count towards either gender. So what we're left with is Freddy, Jason (The first one was his mother), Michael and if you want to count the Phantasm movies we can add the Tall Man, but he gets so little publicity why even bother with him?
Regarding Phantasm, Reggie was hot!!!!! :p

they're ALL teen flicks. That's who they've always been geared towards.

No, Not ALL. Teenagers arent that damn important. I have rented my share of movies as an adult. So, I'm paying their bills too.

but the slasher movies, Freddy, Jason, Michael, those are marketed towards the teen audience because that's mostly who goes to see them. Saying teen ones don't count is bullshit because that eliminates 95% of all of them, not just the Scream generation ones

Incorrect. You must remember that Freddy, Jason, and Michael were first created before most of todays teenagers were even born. They were targeted at the teenagers from past decades, who grew up, like myself, and are still fans because we grew up with them. Please, my bedroom wall was COVERED with Freddy posters when I was 14, and I'm still a fan now. Now multiply that times 1,000,000,000,000 Nuff said.

if they are R they are not marketed towards the teen audience.

and im not talking about teen audience as in markets

i am talking about who is in it. like those scream movies about a bunch of teenagers/dumbass college kids

freedy vs jason about some stupid kids. those kind of teen movies

Sam The Egg 01-24-2004 11:55 PM

Exactly. They were marketed towards the teenagers of the time. They are all marketed towards the teenagers of the time. John Hughs movies are teen movies, because the teenagers of the time were the ones who they were made for. But nevertheless, they are still marketed, targeted, all of that, towards the TEENAGERS. That's my point. You can't discard the teen horror movies because the ones we're talking about are/were all teen movies.
Now, I'm gone for the night, it's after 3 in the morning here

So, your in the same time zone as I.

PS The older audiance still contributes a great deal of profit to the horror flick. We are not to be dismissed.
