Snake males have two penises.

Anyway...

Yeti, I sorta know where you're coming from in your long post.;) My mam's friend has a 13 yr old son who really likes horror, but his favorite movie is Freddy V. Jason. It's not because he's a 'tard, but because of the HUGE generation gap in horror movies. I'm trying to be a good horror buff influence. Before he saw the remake of Dawn of the Dead, I made him watch all three of the originals.

I explained the Exorcist to him. I said, "Look Garret, I know it didn't scare you. However, at the time it was released in the theatres, people were terrified and left the movie." Also, he's a little young and not really well versed in Catholicism to really understand that movie at all.

What I want to do is sit down with him and make him watch the real classics. I'd start with Nosferatu and move up through Dracula, The Mummy, Frankenstein, etc. They'd bore the shit out of him, but at least he'd gain a deeper appreciation of the genre that he loves. For instance, he went to see The Hills Have Eyes remake. I have promised him that he is going to sit down with me and watch the original. I've also promised that he is going to sit down with me and watch the original TCM.

I don't think our beloved genre is dead, but we do need something fresh... a new twist on a long buried theme... a new type of phantom. Shit, pull out the mythology books from around the world. There's entities in the nightmares of bygone days that could really be implemented into a great horror film(s).
