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generation is bound to attach itself to "their" films, and just as likely to dismiss older "classics" as feeble and outdated by comparison (just as you might follow Avril Lavigne and baulk at the thought of Jon Bon Jovi...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