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).

I'm doing a similar thing w/ my g/f, partially because she doesn't get to see many movies due to her little sister, partially so I don't feel like an old man when I make any sort of movie references (btw, feeling like an old man while dating an underage girl isn't good)

I agree with you there Haunted. I don't think the genre is dead, but the current springing up of remakes of horror films is discrediting the originals for those who haven't discovered them before. On one hand a remake is a way of alerting someone to a text that has been lost in the sands of text and so the original could gain a new appreciation. However this could also work the other way and people might not bother with the classic in favour of the more modern offering. Classic horror films that have stood the test time have often been films that pushed boundaries of the time, not just technologically but socially and this is what is needed to keep things fresh and test the boundaries of the genre.
