I've read some material and heard presentations from psychologists on possible/likely negative effects of graphic horror on young children, and I wouldn't recommend anyone put young children in front of horror films. No offense.

Nobody put me in front of a horror film (except that one Jaws incident). I sought them out, and choose them, on my own (if we don't count TV)... Scooby Doo, Space Giants, Ultraman, Godzilla, every type of Creature Feature TV program (classic horror), library books. None of my bro/sis were into horror except me. My mom didn't join me until years after I was already into horror, for which I think she was "returning" to horror.
I saw the VHS version, I assume that would be the uncut version. I am very familiar with that type of opinion and have always strongly disagreed with it. I am not saying I would force a child to watch it, but if they just so happen to be in the room, so be it. That is their choice as they can always leave. I am familiar with what has been said, but that is the real world. And, graphic violence affects everyone.

My parents never liked horror, so I saw it myself. I do not remember the exact circumstances of my introduction. I know it was not due to my parents loving the genre because they never did. I understand why parents do it, but it always annoyed me. People put way too much emphasis on it. And, I am sorry no one is going to become more violent because of horror. Sure, those increases can be shown in the lab over the short-term, but violence is based in many things. That only plays a minor role. And, I believe that I remember some studies showing that if you emphasize the fictionalness of the media, it drastically reduced the supposed effect.

I believe some reasonable limits should be set. I mean a young child should not watch something like Cannibal Holocaust. Overall, though I think it is okay to watch horror even graphic horror.

See, I don't think junior will decide to become a cannibal because his favorite thing to watch is Cannibal Holocaust. We keep the house well-stocked with bacon.

I enjoy them all in different ways. Trollhunter i think is probably the best of the three and is the only one on my Top 20 list. Tremors is a personal favorite horror movie of mine that i've loved as a child and Beast is a great relaxing, fun black and white 50's movie to watch which i love watching.

Beast From 20,000 Fathoms


There are a lot of great monster movies from the 50's and there are a lot of good giant monster movies but this has to be one of the best ones. The story is really good. It's simple but i think that's what makes it better. For giant monster movies, you don't really need a huge complex story. Not that i don't like complicated plot's but i find it unnecessary for a giant monster movie. The new Godzilla movie for example had a ridiculous plot that definitely took away from the film. It's a slow burn sure but i enjoy a monster movie with a steady build up with a satisfying pay off which this one definitely had. The characters are all likable, the writing and acting are good and the monster is really cool looking and interesting. Probably one of the best giant monsters in film history. Anyone interested in these types of movies should check this out.

9/10


Now onto next week. The next theme is......











EVIL DOLL WEEK


Dolls are scary. Ventriloquist dummies, puppets, stuffed animals, even marionettes. They're scary. Apparently i'm not the only one who thinks so because there are a good amount of these movies out there. Two of these movies i was sure about from the beginning but the last took awhile and i actually swapped another out and put this one in. For the last movie it took a bit of deciding just which one i wanted to watch but i finally came to the conclusion and here are the films i will be watching:

Great choices actually, have to admit that Dead Silence really scares me. I look forward to watching all of them (all of which I own). I will still try to watch Tremors and post my thoughts on it this week. I love it and have seen it many times, of course.
