I would greatly appreciate it if you answered the following questions:
Why do you watch horror movies?
|
was always into horror from a young age, grew up with brothers in the 70s who all liked horror, in particular the Hammer Horror style. I've beens stuck liking the genre ever since...this is why I watch horror, but what has prgressed further since my early days of watching horror is how explicit the genre has become, this is another main reason why I watch them. I like the gore and creepy stuff, and if horror these days was restricted as to what could be shown, then I probably wouldnt watch half as much as i do now.

When did you start watching horror movies?

see above answer.... at a pretty young age, maybe 5 or 6, mostly b&w horror that was classed as family viewing. It then progressed to more graphic stuff in my early teens... then onto more gore etc.

How do you feel when you watch a horror movie?

duno about this one really, guess it's what sort of horror it is. If I find the film not too good, then my mind starts to wander and I dont enjoy the viewing. If on the other hand it's a well produced film then I'm completely engrosed in it.... I find a good soundtrack to a horror adds to the experience, such as Goblins sound tracks, and the film feels much more intense.... Tenebrae is one to think of here.

Thank you!
