Older horror movies have a lot to recommend them, things like the Hays Code stopped them being explicit but I still think one of the staples of horror movies is gore, not all films require it but I got into horror partly through the gore of films like 'Absurd' and 'Friday the 13th' as well as being charmed by the antics of Lugosi et al when I was a kid. The gore helps though and most of my favourite horror movies are post-NOLD
