so are you saying that john carpenter is british?

So I guess, 'Christine' and 'Vampires' aren't horror films?! and Damn all this time I thought they were!

Oh and just because a film has a British producer ($$$) doesn't mean the film is a British film!!

If I remember correctly this film stared Jamie Lee Curtis, who did this film shortly after Halloween, and it took place in the States! So HTF is it British Crap?

Re: Sweet heaven....
 

Wait wait wait. John Carpenter has made some classic horror films ... what are you talking about?? Halloween, The Thing, Christine (you have to admit, it's a classic.) Please list some films you consider to be "good horror" so that I know where your tastes lie.

I say we vote to Ban TrueFan, who's with me?

It is REALLY like working at a retard daycare center
 

Okay......I never said JC was British...and yes, his horror films suck...Halloween...slasher film....Carrie, again, a weak film. Lord people, I thought you guys knew what it was you were tlakiing about! Weak comments on poor films. You try talking trash...but you say nothing. I thought a real drbate could occur...I fear I have stumbled into a teen hang out...my bad.....

PLEASE BAN ME!!!!
 

Angry teens, with little or nothing to say...so Please ban my ass...kick me out.....what do i have to do so I don't fall into this weak site again!!!!!

Re: It is REALLY like working at a retard daycare center
 

no, your "bad" was to stumble across people who ACTUALLY know about horror films.

p.s.

his horror films suck...halloween...slasher film

but i thought you said slasher films weren't horror...therefore you shouldn't be including this in his list of "horror" films.

Re: It is REALLY like working at a retard daycare center
 

Okay, well I'm not a fan of slasher films ... particularly because this particular type of horror has followed the path of comedy and gore over scares. But, Halloween was not like this. It generally tries to be frightening, and it was to its generation. I don't see how Carrie was a weak film, though. Taking into consideration the technology available, it was well-made and Sissy Spacek's performance is one of the most memorable in the genre. I know you don't have a problem with the story, because you lauded King's work (story-wise) in another thread.

Even so, what do you consider to be good horror? Please list some films.
