Do You Like Horror?

some of my favorite movies are horror - The Exorcist/The Thing/The Changeling come to mind.

Meh.Not really

I don't watch as much as I used too.

I Prefer J-horror movies.
I've been watching a lot of older ones over the last year.
One's from the 50's and 60's.

Yes, yes and yesss to all things Horror.

Yes I do.
As another poster said it's hard to find a decent one nowadays though.

Generally no and especially no to anything that amounts to violence porn. Anything I would watch needs to have a moral to it. 1935's Bride of Frankenstein channels Shelley's book and Dr Pretorious gets what is due to him in the end. The monster can be seen as sympathetic. Movie's such as the original Halloween is just what some beautiful person's idea of what an ugly person would do once picked on. It worked because it was one of those "make your date clutch you" pictures when it was in the theaters.

I have been reading good things about this book. This one will be coming out soon. It looks like a winner!

The Cabin at the End of the World
by Paul Tremblay
The Bram Stoker Award-winning author of A Head Full of Ghosts adds an inventive twist to the home invasion horror story in a heart-palpitating novel of psychological suspense that recalls Stephen King’s Misery, Ruth Ware’s In a Dark, Dark Wood, and Jack Ketchum’s cult hit The Girl Next Door.

Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbors are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road.

One afternoon, as Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen but he is young, friendly, and he wins her over almost instantly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologizes and tells Wen, "None of what’s going to happen is your fault". Three more strangers then arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out: "Your dads won’t want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world."

Thus begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are entwined. The Cabin at the End of the World is a masterpiece of terror and suspense from the fantastically fertile imagination of Paul Tremblay.

Horror is the rap music of movies ... disgusting, pointless and not an art form in any way.
