If you have an anus you are my type.

I do think that anyone who grew up with "Famous Monsters of Filmland" was lucky, because at that time, it was considered COOL to like old monster movies (imagine that!). Around the time "Famous Monsters" faded out and was replaced by "Fangoria," it became "no longer cool" to be into that old stuff. Suddenly anything in black and white was undeserving of attention. The fake blood had to be red!

But yeah, it's hard to believe, looking back, that some kids would memorize the dialogue of the old Universal films...

"Famous Monsters" itself had a lot to do with shaping horror fan culture. It constantly reminded its readers that hey, we wouldn't have this new shit unless those wrinkled old guys had given us the old shit way back when. Today comes out of yesterday. I guess it was another way of saying "respect your elders," except with monsters.

Sorry don't think the wife would approve. She's the one who wears the strap on dildo in the bedroom.

This thread shows me how over mature I must be. Sure, I enjoy the horror films of today, I really do. But you cant bewat the classics. Im 14, I saw DotD this year only a coupole weeks before Halloween. I loved it, and Im in no rush to rent the remake.

Omen said something like once you reach 25 or so, you stop liking whats cool, ans start liking what you like. Yay, Im 11 years more mature than I should be! :D

That's good. However I was majoritively speaking. Of course not all kids hate all things 'old'. I liked Black Sabbath, but hated the Stones when I was your age. So I did like things that were on this earth well before I was born. But when I got into my mid-twenties, I definitely gave more things a chance, especially movies.

Re: confession
 

Everybody has different tastes. I know a lot of horror fans that love horror as much as I do, and they cannot stand the Evil Dead movies. It does pickup a bit at the middle, but it's probably just not your cup of tea.

i think the younger folks have a hard time with subtle black and white slow building horror films.
Most of them want high octane guns blazing thrill a minute movies.

i prefer ones that have a nice slow build up .. allowing for character developement so that you actually get to know, like, and understand the characters which allows you to identify with them, thus feeling concern that they might actually die.
this is what builds terror and suspense ..

who gives a shit if some cardboard cutout character dies (i.e. anyone in resident evil 2)

making a great horror film is a rare art.
few take the bother to because it is too much of a risk.
The demogrphic for horror films is largely the youth population who are the ones that want everything hard and fast - so they dont get bored.
If they dont support good films (they rarely do) then they wont get made. Simple economics.

and i'm not saying all youth is like this ... just most of them.

they should be strung up and gutted
i blame it on the parents though
can't they properly teach their children the differance between a good and bad flick?
i actually take the time to make sure my neices and nepwes know the classics

tachii, i thought you were a teenage girl too ? :)
you sure look young in the pic..

22
and most people tell me they thought i was older
that's a breath of fresh air!:D

maybe you act older .. it changes perceptions of people..

but 22 ... man i cant even remember being 22.
thats half my life ago !

so the picture is all that made you think i was younger?

yeah pretty much .. not the altered black and white one ..but the two partial face ones (including your avatar)
no lines, smooth skin .. looks young to me..

not like thats a bad thing ...

that's just a mask i wear
i forgot where i left my real face

hey, its Dr Phibes faceless wife :)

come on like you didn't know she'd show up some day
come on

or you could be the wife in Eyes Without a Face ...

i just got it on laserdisc .. havent seen it yet so i dont know just how appropriate that is yet.

moo?

you lost me guy=moo?

you said : moo? two posts ago ..

I'm the one that's lost ! :)

didn't understand the eyes without a face thing

oh .. sorry i see ..

its an old french horror film ..

about a guy who tries to get his wife a new face .. a disease or something trashed her regular one ..

:D

i honestly didn't think that was an actual tile. i just thought you were funning with me

its more than just another Billy Idol song :)

Fits perfectly with todays society, doesn't it?

I'm getting the Criterion disc soon. It's a really good movie. Yet another that young folk will have a hard time sitting through.

Bloody great film, that & the original Carnival of souls still stand up today. ( if they had some slo mo bullet time they would rule!)

i didn't like it the first time but the second time was alot better and now it is one of my favorites
