I think serial killer movies and books are more genuinely scary because they could really exist. But the more fantastical monsters and wild scenarios fascinate and interest me more. For instance my friends and I can get into long conversations about the Hellraiser or Phantasm movies. They're just so bizarre and it's fun to try and figure out the rules and alternate realities of those kind of movies. If they're well done they can be really scary too!

Horror movies have never really scared me but I have found that some of the scenes are creepy or spooky. Meaning if that were to happen to me in real life I would be scared shitless. But sometimes what people find scary as a kid dont scare them when they get older. I have spoke to many people that was scared of TCM, Nightmare on elm street, etc... as a kid and after watching it today they said "what was I so scared of?" I do prefer more gore over supernatural flicks and gore is more funny to me. this is just the type of horror I prefer though.. Someone mentioned they dont care if the horror movie scars them , I feel the same way. I think all horror fans feel like that, But I do love watching people get scared by them .. :D

Decline of Horror

No doubt in my mind that the 90's was a bad decade for horror movies. Looking at my collection of videos and DVD's almost all of my horror movies especially the scariest were from the 70's and 80's.

The 90's horror films especially since 1994 or 1995 onwards seemed to be obsessed with producing crappy teen horror movies like Final Destination and Scream 2 and 3 and I know what you did last summer and not classically scary movies.

These movies seem to me to be more about jokes than horror. But hopefully this decade looks to be shaping up a bit better with genuienly scary movies like The Ring (American Version) and the remake of Texas Chainsaw.

PS. The Scary Movies seemed to sum up just how ridiculous the 90's were in terms of horror.

I have to agree with you on this. 70`s and 80`s were great years for horror...

Business in the Front Party in the Back... LOL what sux is the US has a new show called "the mullets" it is about these two guys that have mullets and pretty much live in the 80`s. dont know if it was cancelled though. I know this has nothing to do with horror but who cares seems a lot of the threads here have nothing to do with horror ... :D

the problem with the new horror movies is that no one can think of any new characters (hence all the remakes). and all the horror movies they make now are teen horror movies that just get boring.
