And I appreciate it :-)

Yep, pretty much my thoughts on the issue as well.

Sorry to dig up rotting corpses, everyone, but I wanted to briefly mention Darth Maul as the funniest idiot we've had.

Remember how he used to post as if he were part of cast of Hellraiser? He called me a whore and told me that my pain would be legendary. Oh that guy...:D

Wait...you're NOT a whore?

*leaves forum*















:D :p ;)

You got it. ;)


But seriously man...if you'd like to seriously discuss some horror-related topics, head over to the other sections before too many other people catch wind of this post and totally shut you out.

Hey, you could even start a discussion in this forum. Please make it a good one, though.

Thanks.

Okay, people, all clear! Nothing to see here! Everything's fine. Please remain behind the yellow line. Nothing to see here!

i said that to a belwildered group of people in a art gallery once ...
(to the embarrasment of my companions)

I enjoy a bit of horror too ;)

Thank you. I'll try.

What is it about horror; movies, fiction... whatever, that draws people in? The old "people like to be thrilled" comparison to the roller coaster, et al, seems lame and unable to cover it. There's something deeper and darker in us - isn't there?

I'd say, "Or am I full of crap?" but I think we've covered that already :-)

I dated a paramedic who loved going to accidents. (yeah) Wasn't remotely bothered by the sight of blood. But couldn't watch a horror film.

Does horror attract us on an instinctive level?

Aahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

I am literally laughing out loud regarding pretty much EVERYTHING about your post!!!

From the fucking avatar...right on down to the mummy card!

Hilarious shit.

I knew you had it in you, dougie boy!!

Great post!

Not that I have anything really profound to say in response to it...but again, great topic.

Sure, it has been discussed many times over before...but you obviously wouldn't be aware of that. But I do like the angle that you're taking by thinking that we all may have a "dark" persona within ourselves.

I'll let the intellectuals take it from here...

LOL! Did you make that...or was it googled?

We are born be bad....look how hard it is to train and teach a child to live by the rules and be polite.....or look how easy it is to get a bad kid(just take a stroll in Walmart on Sunday and you can see what I mean...)

I think it is easy to be evil,it takes work to be a good-but as we work,thank god,there are horror movies.

i'll never tell

I get these elements confused often when considering this topic. Good/evil, Right/wrong, Fear/and whatever the hell is the opposite of fear. I've loved horror films and fiction forever, but have never really been able to figure out why.

We love being scared in a theatre; hate being scared when our little brother jumps out of the dark unexpectedly. But love to jump out of the dark at someone else.

I don't think we are born to be bad exactly. There is a difference between thoughtlessness and selfishness and bad. Children are selfish, they don't really have a concept of how things affect anyone but themselves.

But I do believe that everyone has a dark side and is drawn to or fascinated by evil in some way. And the ones that acknowledge it are much healthier in my opinion.

Agreed.

No its not

I agree.

I've talked to a lot of people who thought that if you were into horror, you were also into horrible things. But I think the true monsters in society, your Jeffrey Dahmers, etc, have acted on the evil within without ever having acknowledged it.

While those that are into horror as an entertainment, acknowledge our dark sides without necessarily acting on them.

Umm, what's "not?"

Gotcha.

Well, I don't necessarily think it is "healthy" to be evil...or to act out in a demonic manner.

I just think a person is more in tune with themselves if they do acknowledge that they have a fascination with evil and the unknown.

I mean...there is not one bone in my body that has any urges to do things that real killers do. But I am however interested in that type of story and the ongoing study of what makes them tick.

Oh I know.....some people automatically seem to assume you are sick in some way if you are a true horror fan. I won't even watch anything real myself(Faces of Death for example), because I can't detach myself from it and I don't really want to. But there are those that assume that I do from the start just because of the films that I enjoy. Yes, I am drawn to violent films and literature, but I know the difference between fantasy and reality. And I have never hurt anyone in my life.

No, it isn't healthy to be evil. But every single person has a morbid streak. It is why the news is full of all the terrible things that happen and none of the good. It is the reason why many people will say they can't look away from a train wreck. It is the reason why there are so many books and studies on the mind of a serial killer. It is why all of us here watch movies or read books that are full of evil and death. Evil appeals to people because I think so few understand it. And the unknown is fascinating, like you say.

Exactly. I saw the TWILIGHT ZONE footage of Vic Morrow's death (and the two young children, obviously) and was absolutely mortified by it.

Yes,I agree that children are selfish.But..
To allow a child to continue to be selfish(which alot of parents are doing these days) is a sure fire way to grow an anti-social personality,which could and I do not mean the Rule,but could,potientally turn into sociopathic behavior. To leave a child unchecked is tapping into the"evil" of our nature.

LMAO!!!! Um, if you insist.....:rolleyes: ;)

Exactly, potentially. But I also know plenty of folks whose selfishness was allowed to thrive unchecked by their parents and they are just spoiled brats used to getting their own way. Not violent or without empathy, just self-centered. So I don't believe that means we are born to be bad. It just means that sometimes we are influenced to turn bad based on what we see or a lack of guidance.

I see your point.

nurture over nature or however that saying goes....

but continue the thread.....wouldn't it be more likely that a self-centered person would do MORE harm? What would they Not do to get what they Think they deserve.etc etcblahblah-I bored with this already.
Debate club would lose with me on the team.

I, however, love being evil. I have a great agent, and and a wonderful publicist. No one is safe from my wrath nor my whims.



Don't worry about me. I just have the girlies.

Who in the name of fuck ARE YOU?! All your posts sound like you've been here for sometime and are all buddy-buddy with everyone. What do you mean "I know he's new"? You're about as new as he is.

P.S. It wasn't funny at all.

I think all mothers will understand this.
There is that time in your child's life when they leave babyhood for good.It seems to happen overnight,and then you are sitting there sorting toys and clothes that they seemed to like for Years,that are now obsolete.You put the special things aside,maybe to be stored in a Special Box,maybe just because You can not part with it yet.
So there leaves all these toys in bags to donate.

If you would care for any of them alkytrio666-you are more than welcome to them:)

i collect toys .. i'll take 'em.

Why is that poor kitty passed out over his Cheerios like that???

There comes a time when people try so hard to make insults intelligent that they lose all power and become meaningless.

If you would care for an example, novakru, view your last post.
