Just a quick note to apologise again for posting on all the other forums - a genuine mistake.

And also to thank the people that have replied - I realise that it's not an original subject but I chosen a subject that I don't have a huge amount of knowledge and one that would be both interesting to read and to write.

The comments so far have been great and will be used as primary research to back up statements and theories -

IMO horror fans are the most devout fans of any film genre - and it's for this reason that i decided to post the question on a forum like this.

Please keep your opinions and comments coming in - they're greatly appreciated.

Rick
