Any horror fans here?

[Bob Zaod]

I don't go too deep but I love horror of mostly any kind. Movies, shows, bands, collectibles etc etc. Hard to pick a favorite sub-genre for me but if you held a gun to my head I'd blurt out GORE!

 

[Whizzinby]

It’s my favorite genre. Also the most reliable way to clear the the family out.

I like Asian Horror, most of the 'classics' have american adaptations which are worse, watch the original asian movies.

I like horror, it seems like it has a pretty disproportional amount of garbage compared to other genres but in some ways the type of garbage is far more watchable than other movie genres garbage

 

[JiveTurkey]

Oh. My. God. YES.



I'll take it. I love pretty much every subgenre. I DON'T do extreme subjects for the sake of extreme and I am weary of the new "hey let's tweet and then go to a rave! oh look we're dead!" trend of Hulu Horror. I am also a bit burnt on every piece of horror needing to be Elevated™

Sometimes raw and dumb gets the job done

Absolutely. I can sit through Monsturd 10 times before I watch something involving the Twilight franchise.

"hey let's tweet and then go to a rave! oh look we're dead!"

OMG talk about an overused plot. Holy $hit! I cant do it either btw.

Nope, I‘m 45 years old and still crap my pants when movie scenes get creepy. It‘s embarrassing.

So through the years there have been teenager-related tropes in horror. And I get it 100%. But the new Blumhouse "Let's Go To Fantasy Island where a social media mogul is secretly picking off 19 year olds one by one while they livestream it!" is my latest least favorite teenager-related trope. Probably because I am old AF.

You definitely don’t want to watch this then…

I have a sort of theoretical love of the genre, in spite of the fact that most of it is B-movie dreck. (Same said for most of the "literature". Hello, Steven King!)

I'm a huge American Horror Story fan, though very little of the show comprises "horror" per se; it's mostly about cleverly integrating various plotlines with pop culture (often, not always, horror) references and current or historical events. The "scariest" part of the show was always the opening credits, IMO.

Followed by Human Centipede as a palate cleanser!

That show is so OTT at the wrong moments. Always. I still end up watching it. Every. Year.

All seasons are not created equal, that's for sure. The last one or two were pretty disappointing for me. It's been a while, so I can't speak to this in much detail, but if I recall correctly, they changed up the cast pretty (wait for it) dramatically, and I found myself missing a lot of the old actors.

But I love the way each season (well, most of them) weaves multiple plot lines in with overarching themes that span the series as a whole. Even when it's being ridiculous (often), it's smart stuff.

Absolutely. The early seasons were excellent imo. Great reason for the kids to hit the bed before 9pm on Wednesdays

On that French note; catch Inside (the original; not the remake)

 

[the-trooper]

Is Event horizon one of the best movies?

 

[spawnofthesith]

American Horror Story is so trashy and cringe. and I watch every second of it

I watch that about every year. Sci-Fi horror ftw.
