Black people don't like horror movies
 

I want an explanation, why is kemal the only black person on the forum? kemal is pretty awesome and all, but what gives?

we also don't have any asians or mexicans

Black people usually die first, so they got sick of cheering for their characters for like... ten minutes.

we have at least one asian i know of - and our new chatty l. cougar is a black girl.

but it's true that for the most part - horror appeals to white men between 16 and 24 - or something like that.

this is probably a big reason why horror isn't that well appreciated in Toronto despite how huge it is.

i know for a fact that asians (well, Toronto asians anyway) are very into sci-fi and anime.

and Toronto is 50% (if not more) asian..

when the rue morgue horror convention is on - they have to combine it with sci-fi, anime, gaming and comics.

the horror guests (unless they have sci-fi cross overs) hardly have anyone in their lines.

in some ways it's cool - i get some pretty sweet finds re used DVDs. a giallo boxset sat on the shelves for 3 months before i went into the store according to the guy working there.


my buddy is black - and he loves horror movies but he isnt't very typical...
but he tells me that many blacks in the caribbean are extremely supersticious - so it's possible they are uncomfortable with horror on screen.

(his brothers believe their step mother is a jamaican witch and is currently hexing them)

be interesting to hear why from the folks that know though.

How do you know Kemal's really black?

Because he said so. Why would people lie?

We have two Asians and two African Americans who post regularly- out of about 30 regular posters I'd say that's a pretty signifigant percentage.

who is asian?

If you paid attention you would know.

are you one of them?

Sounds like you are arranging a lynching....
