How can you compare Godzilla's fanbase to that of Freddy/Micheal/Jason? Godzilla has been amassing fans since 1954, over 50 years ago, while the earliest of the three slashers, Micheal Myers, first apeared in 1978, 24 years later. No shit Godzilla has a bigger fanbase, he's been around longer!

totally agree.

I hate to break this to you Gojira but both Jason and Freddy have a bigger following. There are SO MANY websites on both of these guys, i havn't seen too many Godzilla ones.

i don't know what's with this guys Godzilla fetish but it's just not a better directed/writen/produced/acted/set designed/costume designed/scored/anything else you can think of film than Halloween,The Exorcist.Texas Chainsaw Massacre and definately not the Shining or any of the other films that he's been doing nothing but bashing since he got here. I mean seriously it's a guy in a big rubber suit knocking over fake buildings with a buch of Japanese people running around screaming and they just keep going back and forth between him knocking down buildings and people running and screaming and the military trying to think of a way to stop him that's the whole freakin movie.

LOL LOL LOL man I have been watching horror movies for 39 years but in the eyes of Nemesis that does not make me a horror fan. LOL LOL LOL Now thats funny. I post how I felt about watching a few horror movies and the onesI dont care for and that makes me a bully lol. Whats funny is that I see some not all board members bash Godzilla without seen the latest Godzilla movies. At least I am honest when I say not all Godzilla movies are good and I bash the ones that do stink. Some of you kids just crack me up. LOL kids these days

Gojira, it appears to me that you think any modern horror films can't hold a candle to your Godzilla films. Frankly, it just sounds like a bitter middle aged man holding onto his favorites from childhood. I should know, I AM a bitter 30 year old, and I think everything made between TCM('74) and A Nightmare On Elm Street('84) is the golden age. So I can relate to you viewing your formative years fondly. But to dismiss Halloween, The Shining and TCM is just laughable, really. I defend these movies to the death since I grew up watching them, but even a younger fan can see that they are great films. I think you really need to expand your horizons just as you wish others would expand theirs to include Godzilla.

Bottom line is, we all think the horror movies that shaped us when we were young are the greatest...maybe we remember them too fondly through nostalgia sometimes, but it doesn't make that opinion wrong. But to ignore movies just based on a bias is wrong ...and that goes for people ripping on Godzilla too.(like me;) )

1) Halloween 4
2) Dawn of the Dead (original)
3) Night of the Living Dead (remake) yup..what can I say I saw the remake when i was like 7 and I saw the original later, I dunno I just love the remake.
4) Halloween
5) The Butterfly Effect ....I don't consider it Horror, but alot of people do.


I'm more of a sequel and remake type then original. And I'm sure I'll get quoted and some fucking asshole will tell me that I know nothing about Horror movies..

Hi Omen I respect your thoughts on what you said and if you read everything I have said about Godzilla you will I dont defend all his movies as I have posted that I really hate all of the 5 1970s Godzilla movies with a passion. It baffles me when people say they like Godzilla vs. Megalon 1973 as much as when people say they like TCM in 1974. I dont like either one of those movies and I think both are big let downs. Here is a list of Godzilla movies I think suck KingKong vs. Godzilla 1962 Godzilla vs. the Seamonster 1966 Son of Godzilla 1967 Godzillas Revenge 1969 Godzilla vs. Hedora 1971 Godzilla vs. Gigan 1972 Godzilla vs. Megalon 1973 Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 1974 Terror of MechaGodzilla 1975. I think the best quality horror movies were made in the 50s and 1960s and a few in the 1970s. Alot of Dracula fans will admit that Lee is a better Dracula than Bela this does not mean Dracula 1931 was a bad movie it just means Hammer made better Dracula movies. And Bram Stokers Dracula in 1992is down right AWESOME and that is a much much better made movie than Horor of Dracula in 1958. I like all 3 but I think Lee is a better Dracula and Cushing a better Vanhelsing. I am sure those who like Lon Chaney in the Wolfman 1941 will agree that the Howling 1981 is a better movie the Howling is my Fave Werewolf movie. But I still enjoy Chaneys the Wolfman. I am into film advancement and horror movies that are reaaly well made. I was not so suprprised to see on this boars that some fans hat remakes and those same fans love the 1931 Dracula and 1931 Frankenstien movies. I pointed out that those movies are remakes. I have not bashed those remakes at all. I remember when TCM was being remade there was talk that that would suck yet I think remakes are a good idea. What irks me is when people talk bad about a movie they have never seen that just tells me that person is a total moron. What I like are fans who ask about movies they have not seen and where they can see them. Old or new if a horror movie is good and I like it i will say it if I dont and others do I will ask why and if others ask me why I lik dislike it I will tell them my reasons. This does not mean I am bashing the movie I am just saying how I felt about it thats it. There are people back in 1977 who saw Starwars and said they hated it. I asked them why when everyone else seems to like it. They simply said they dont like movies about space. They didnt bash SW they just said how they felt about it and I can respect that. Now imagine a person bashing SW who never saw it. Yep thats a moron. Omen my thinking is that maybesome younger board members are to sensitive.

Hi Joker I agree some sequels are pretty good like the Hammer Dracula movies imo the best Dracula series ever made. When it comes to remakes I am all for them. Famous remakes include 1923 Hunchback of Norte Dame Frankenstien 1931 Dracula 1931 The Mummy 1932 Wolfman 1941 another WW movie made after 1913. Hammer remade a few of Universals movies as well. The way I see it some of these movies are better than originals in some cases. I think if a movie company is lucky enough to make a horror character into a franchize where they can makes sequels fans like then more power to them. Any Franchize will only make money as long as the movies are good.
