Are horror films still fun?

I think it's fun when you go to a horror flick at the theater with friends.
Blade3 was FUN,what the movie was about....well,I will have to re-rent it to find out.

I also think that today directors are being picked to make horror films and it's just a job to them.

Carpenter,Romero,Argento ect. ect. came up with the ideas and pitched,wrote and directed the film they wanted to make and made them with passion because it was something they believed in. Not saying that the directors picked for recent horror films go in not trying but they don't try as hard as someone who who's passionate about what they're doing, like I said before it's just a job to them.

That is very true. There is a completely different kind of energy to a horror film made by an actual fan of the genre than to one made by someone that has no love or real understanding of horror. Even when the film isn't that great, it just feels different when it is made by someone that loves what he/she is doing.

horror has been a suffering genre since the 70's
When a good one comes along - be thankful.

I wouldn't say suffering...the 80's were pretty good.

I'd definitely say they're suffering now though.

still enjoy watching horror movies...it does not even have to be good...and many of them are really bad.....but still I wanna watch....you can call it a obsession if you like......

nothing could ever be as fun as an 80's horror flic. however every now and then one comes along. FvJ, dead end, and cabin fever for example. those were all pretty fun. wrong turn was kind of fun too. but most of the time they are either too serious or too hollywood. a damn shame really.

The 80's....

Those Subspecies movies were great and alot of movies from Full Moon(I think that' the co.?) were falling on the floor funny.

Fright Night has been, and will likely always be my fav. horror movie for one basic reason-it's fun. I've seen it at least 100 times, and I never get tired of it.
I'm a huge fan of anything out of the 80's...there's just a certain quality about the horror films from that era that today's horror films can't touch.
I realize that most of them (from the 80's) are definately campy,etc... ;) But they're "classics" for a reason. You can never really grow tired of them....they're still enjoyable :)

I too loved the horror films from the 1980's and agree that alot of todays horror films just don't compare.
Sure I still watch the newer ones as they come out and I buy alot of them, but my horror film collection mostly consists of The older horror films from the 70's and 80's because I can watch these over and over again, they never seem to get old to me.:)
