What about supernatural body-horror, like Event Horizon, Hellraiser, Scanners, The Thing? They're arguably worse in the gore-department, and includes a bit of cosmic horror. And if you enjoy those, what makes human horror like SAW worse? For me, that ever present feeling of "realism", which disappears in monster horror, is what sets them above the rest.

Not trying to convince you or change your views; I'm just really curious what you feel is different about them :)

Okay, you weren't asking me, but that has never stopped me before.

I enjoy horror. Body horror? Cronenberg is a genius, but that is about as far as I go, but he is further on the scale than Event Horizon, Hellraiser, and Scanners, at least for me. (Saw then all in the theater as well.)

But classic horror? Raised on it. Ghost stories? Love them. The Thing? Along with almost everything else Carpenter has done, I love it so very much --in fact, I may go see it in its original ratio on an IMAX screen this week. (Joy!) Alien is a haunted house movie in space, and I first saw it in a huge theater, at 10 or 11, surrounded in the dark by things I could barely see but were moving quietly. It was perfect, and arguably the finest horror film made. When it comes to bloodshed, I love it when it is ridiculously over the top, a la Braindead/ Dead Alive, or the Rami Evil Dead films (and series). And I love goofy horror. Black Sheep. (Have you seen Black Sheep? You need to see Black Sheep. ) So I think it is safe to say I like horror with a step back from reality.

The first Saw I appreciated it for its cleverness. But things like the Hostel films, or really, anything Roth does; the remake of The Hills Have Eyes; any version of Last House on the Left, things where brutality is the entire purpose? Not for me. Too realistic in the gore, or the build up and agony, is the same way. It is too close to reality, and an incredibly nasty version of reality at that.

I don't mind some true crime, but Netflicks did a Jeffrey Dahmer series. I remember Dahmer. I remember the reactions of his victims families. I grew up in the hunting grounds of both Ted Bundy and The Green River Killer, two notorious US serial killers, when they were active. And I think that affected my views on horror.

Not that I am judging. As long as it doesn't hurt someone else, people should be free to do whatever makes their sick little hearts dance with joy. But that is why it doesn't make mine.

Anything too close to real gets to me. I've seen enough bad in this world to last a lifetime.

I don't knock others, in fact, I envy those that can enjoy it.

Out of curiosity, have you watched Martyrs?
 
Hopefully you fuckers are being as naughty as a Friday deserves.


If it helps… what is something naughty you would like to do today?

tell us… describe it… take pleasure in the happening of it…


Then make it happen.
 
I’m curious. I was scanning through the “types of horror, yay/nay” discussion, and the emotional impact it has.
What scenes in film or TV just plain stick in your head and always get an emotional reaction from you, horror or otherwise? Why?

I'll bite.

Anything involving the death of an animal. Human death I don't always cry. Human torture, I'm out.

I can get more specific with names of television shows and movies a little later.

*pinned for later*

The scene in Se7en were the Lust guy is describing what happened. Fuck, his voice breaking fucks me up. Whenever I see that actor in anything else that’s all I can hear.

No.

Lol, that may have come across as a bit rude. Let me rephrase that...

No, thank you. Please, I insist you go first. 😘

I did stop and go, "Oh, I've struck a nerve, but I have no idea why 😳." I defer to the more senior members of S & S as I don't have a proper gauge of the intensity with which I should write and detail. (In other words, I don't want kicked out 😆.)

But sort of fun homework?

I was worried you might think that and the painful four minutes of silence on this thread made me realize that. 😆

There is no wrong answer really as long as you aren't insulting someone or degrading anyone. 😉
