Why I Am A Horror Fan (Page 1 of 3)

Both are awesome videos, Garden. Well spoken and presented, you offer a lot of insights and ideas that many people may be afraid to touch. Indeed, you are a horror warrior, if there is such a thing. lol

I will also be doing a video response (if you accept them) as to why I love horror films, and I think I may just talk about horror movies in general. I'll post a link in a little while.

Alrighty - my video on why I love horror movies and always will.

Also, anyone else wanting to do vids in response to this are welcome.

Creature and I are going to start a "Why I Love...." series now that the broad and vague one is out of the way.  Anyone who wants to join in is welcome just add it to this thread.

Gracias homie, do one!

No you're right, it's certainly not ALWAYS the case.  I meant it more of a back then it was all passion and with some of the remakes.  I'm not going to sit here and point fingers at ones that lacked passion because I don't know how everyone feels but you're right.  In the mid 2000's up until 2011ish, there was a surge of horror films.  In that surge there were some weak ones and I'm not going to say I love them all, lol.  The 5 films I mentioned were ones that I absolutely 100% can't stand.  I find redeeming qualities in some of them.  Like I really strongly disliked the Pulse remake and other sequels, the White Noise sequel, but only a few stand out as those movies are forgettable. 

The studios are looking to capitalize on the cash flow of certain genres.  For instance, Platinum Dunes.  However, people jump at the opportunity to direct, work on and star in those movies.  Then you have things that just don't die like the Saw movies.  They should have stopped after 3.  Now there are 7 movies.  Enjoyable yes, but good...no, far from.  Paranormal Activity is turning into the next one.  I've enjoyed all 3 but you can only do the same thing for so long.  So as horror fans, it's our job to discuss and remember the good old days.  But we still have a level of respect for everyone that's a part of this world. 

If our least favorite movie, let's say for argument Prom Night remake, most people hated that movie.  But if a serial killer happened and he cited that movie as giving him inspiration, we'd all jump on that and defend the movie.  That's horror right there.  No other genre has as dedicated and die hard fans as horror.  It's truly magical. 

Chainsaw, you should make some Youtube videos.  Creature and I are doing one more tomorrow on a genre to be decided when the time comes.  I'd love your input

Great job guys on the videos.  I really enjoyed them

I think I would have to go into psychoanalysis to figure out why I love Horror Movies, I just always have   Especially the classics!

Thought I would post this, this is The Young Turks on 'Why People Love Horror Movies'.

They're pretty much saying that people who live boring lives are most commonly horror fans. I think that's nonsense. I posted a comment on it expressing that - as did Garden and TwistedSista too, apparently. haha

They also said that seeing horror movies is "subjecting yourself to pain".
For me, watching them rant on about a movie genre they have no clue about is subjecting myself to pain.

Aye, aye, aye. lol
