So what's everyone's favorite sub-genre?
 
Is it vampires or werewolves or zombies or possessed kids or what? And what's your favorite sub-sub-genre? Do you like Italian zombies or sexy euro vamps running in slo-mo or possessed masturbating nuns or whatever else floats your boat? Do you like your werewolves Lon Chaney, Jr. or Dee Wallace Stone?

well, Italian Zombies scare the crap out of me, so that could be considered my favorite. I also like the exploitation horror movies like Last House on the Left. But as of late I find myself mostly interested in the post-Ringu era of Japanese Horror.

Too hard to pick a favorite....I like some slashers as much as I do supernatural films, some supernaturals as much as monsters...it's hard to narrow it down to one specific sub-genre, but if you held a gun to my head I'd have to say "supernatural/occult", in the broadest sense of the term.

I'm a sucker for zombies. Be it The Video Dead or Night of the Living Dead, I love it.

I too am partial to zombies. I prefer the euro undead, especially Italian. I like the bad acting, nudity, horrible dubbed dialogue, rotting zombies complete with writhing worms, and especially a good electronic score!!!!

I haven't seen Video Dead in yrs. I would love to see that again. And when I say years, I'm talking about its original video release!!!

Well you have to find it Dr. K. It's the best in Z-grade cinema.

I love mindfucks (The 6th Sense, Session 9) but Slashers take the cake, I love enjoyable, entertaining, gory movies where teenagers run around and get killed.

I also really love possesed kid movies. Creepy Shite.

This isnt really a subgenre but Im recently really getting into old 50's 60's and 70's horror. House on Haunted Hill, The Fog, The Terror, Night of the Living dead. They are all great!

rikki 12-30-2003 02:25 PM

I totally agree w/orangestar. Mindfucks and slasher films.
