Maybe it had nothing to do with your hair. Perhaps they called you Shaggy because you would eat that huge sandwich in one bite and you always hung around with the same three geeks and drive around in your van with your dog...huh...ever think of that.







Shaggy

I'll have you know... I'm allergic to dogs, and none of my freinds had a van. or a car. and I mean "freind" not "freinds". okay "acquaintance". okay, girl whpasked me "why are you following me all the time?"

Okay, guy who said "why are you following me all the time?"

happy?

Hold it - if you're still at school, should you really be watching gory horror movies in the first place?

I blame the parents.


Each new generation is bound to attach itself to "their" films, and just as likely to dismiss older "classics" as feeble and outdated by comparison (just as you might follow Avril Lavigne and baulk at the thought of Jon Bon Jovi... ho ho ho!).

It's difficult to convince people that one horror movie is better than another; quite often it comes down to current trends rather than any real understanding of what the person is actually watching... in other words, kids are easily led onto bandwagons and rave about the latest high concepts and horror icons because quite simply it is the fashionable thing to do. Marketing men know teenagers are highly impressionable, and shape their films accordingly.

Claiming the original TCM and Dawn of the Dead are inferior to the remakes or even game tie-ins like Resident Evil is of course insane, but only when you first catch a truly scary classic alone in the dark with no distractions from peers do you realise certain movies have the power to get under your skin and unsettle and exhilarate you in a way no flashy, big-name blockbuster can.

Some never progress from formulaic, predictable scares though - and always need the comfort of redemption, closure, self-satisfaction and justice by the end of their movies.

Don't feel bad.

In my school, if you wear black pants and a band tshirt of any kind you are a "goth", and thus jumped after school.

Whoa!

That obviously means something else where you come from.

only the ones i told and my friend cody who likes them (his favorites are halloween and dawn of the dead original) but everyone else thinks his name is chainsaw massacre like i heard this one kid talkin he said "REMEMBER WHEN CHAINSAW MASSACRE JUMPED OUT AND KILLED THAT GIRL WITH THE GIRL'S BOYFRIEND'S FACE ON" i got people mad at me for replying to that one

I just think, IMO, that kids now a days don't have a clue what kind of horror flick is good. Younger kids would have to have some kick ass parents in order to know what your talking about. I am only 17 years of age but I am going to school for film and want to be a director that is why I know what I am talking about. You just need to hang with the right crowd who knows what they are talking about.

GoRe

I hate this too when i say Texas Chainsaw Massacre they think its the new one when i say Freddy or Jason They think Freddy vs. Jason or Jason X they dont know about real horror movies

You are on the right track.
 

You are seriously on the right track. Now, all you gotta do is go back a little farther, maybe see "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein," "The Creature from the Black Lagoon," the original "13 Ghosts" and the original "House on Haunted Hill," and while you're at it, don't stop there; go back to the 1930's (and farther if possible) and see all the older stuff you can. Put yourself in the mindframe of the audiences who saw those films when they were new, and imagine how they reacted to them. The 1931 "Frankenstein" scared the gee-whillikers out of people when it came out. All that old stuff is still scary.

With a little bit of study, pretty soon you'll be so far ahead of your buddies, it won't even be funny!

In light of all this, would it now be hypocritical to knock your dad when he claims that modern music isn't as good as it was in his day...?

Very well said! The first time that I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre was around 2 or 3 years ago, when the original was first release on dvd... and boy did it get under my skin.

I watched it as you described, alone, in the dark with no distractions... and I am not ashamed to say that by the end of it, I was very scared and crying... and that was 25 years after it was originally released.

They don't come along very often these days... last night I caught some of I Don't Want to be Born (1975/Peter Sasdy) just before bed and nearly shat - a baby that turns into a horrible man in creepy flashes!

The dubbed, screechy screams in those British 70's horrors still send chills right up my spine.

Re: what's wrong with people my age...
 

people actually like jason X? :confused:

i sure as hell didnt .. it was garbage.

its not possible to turn your brain off long enough to find anything enjoyable in that film without going into a deep coma.

i couldn't even make it the whole way through it.

Re: Re: what's wrong with people my age...
 

I enjoyed it. There are much much worse horror movies out there.

Re: Re: Re: what's wrong with people my age...
 

i liked when he froze the girls head and slammed it on the table

Re: Re: Re: what's wrong with people my age...
 

Hell yeah!I liked this one.

Anyone that liked Resident Evil should have someone spit in they're face and see if they like that.

That is one genre that needs to make a serious comeback: the horror comedy!!!! What happened to great movies like Ghostbusters, Monster Squad, and Transylvania 6-5000??? I wish someone would remake Saturday the 14th instead of the great horror classics. yep.

nevermind. I just saw Shaun of the Dead and realized the horror comedy was back

all my friends watch all the movies i do and love um....wel most of them. but at school ppl always ask why do you like all of them. they have to much blood,guts and gore doesn't it make you sick.....my answer. The gore and crap is onbe of the best parst and doesi it make me sick.. HELL NO!!! if it did i would not watch them now would I?

How could N E One like Jason X period?? I'm so confused right now?:confused:

That's because you're not very smart.....

"Uh.....that kind of violence went out of style with that FREDDY KRUEGER character? He was such a bitch..."

"Hey: FREDDY VS. JASON kicked ass, okay? I don't care what anybody says."

--Foamy

And you, Mr. Ninja, are a asshole! How ya like that? Smile.;) :rolleyes: :cool:

I'm rubber, you're glue.......:p

Oh, and, uh...oh yeah. I also liked "Resident Evil." I really did! I thought it was all right! It was better than I thought it was going to be, anyway.

But nothing quite beats a good old Universal horror movie.

I would like to take the whole reality of "Van Helsing" and put it into one of those square egg machines from the 70's, you know, those cube-squeezing machines that make hard boiled eggs square? And then I would crush it, crush, CRUSH it! And squeeze it down into this little cube which I would then step on.

You don't remember the Square Egg machines, do you?

Talk to the hand bitch.(J/k);) :D :p

i liked resident evil too, and also jason vs freddy
i thought freddy would have won though.
resident evil 2 was ok.
