there hasn't been good horror in a long time

the horror industry has been too wrapped up in Eli Roth this past decade to really churn out anything good

wasn't that movie produced by good ole Roth?

piddleloop: Heck yeah it was. I cannot stand that man. Cabin Fever? Really???

Between that and Hostile... UGH. There's good stuff out there, but you gotta look.

i miss the days of John Carpenter

and Wes Craven

i also have to admit that the whole genre the Blair Witch started where they are made to seem realistic but are super low budget are

decent , they are above the crap Roth churns out

and i actually enjoyed the blair witch project it scared the hellout of me cause i find scenarios of being

lost and alone and so on paralyzing

^ exactly, Jen!

That whole 'found film' genre can be a double edged sword. You can look at something like Paranormal Activity (which I enjoyed)

And then there's the latest Devil Inside, which is a terrible cop-out. And there's a slew in between.

Course if you got there I have to mention REC (original Spanish, not Quarantine) which is AWESOME.

And Blair Witch was awesome, which makes the sequel that much worse.

i never knew they made a ssequal to Blair Witch but it wouldn't surpise me heh

i liked paranormal activity 1 until the sort of end

i thinkt hey should have ended it somewhere about 10 min before it really ended it would have been scarier but i can't remember where

cause it's been so long

I thought the second one actually justified the first one for me and now I'm actually a fan of the series.

It was a strange thing!

i sometimes wish David Lynch would write a full on horror film

I know!

his mystery man scene from lost highway i find to be the single most frightening scene from any movie EVER

Mystery Man

it scares the shit out of me everytime i see that scene

I love me some Eraser Head.

yes but it doesn't touch mystery man

not with a 10 foot pole

robert blake can scare the crap out of me any day!

i kind of miss the campy days of horror a little

slumber party massacre was a good one

You know, I've not yet seen Mystery Man...

he's in Lost Highway

I've seen lost highway. Love that one.

Blue Velvet, Mullholand Drive...

And I have got to say (massive nerd alert here) my absolute favorite is Dune.

I can't help it!

He's also in twin peaks as well

Dune (1984 - He IS the Kwisatz Haderach)

My daughter looks just like Alia!

piddleloop: Happy birthday by the way!

wow and thank yoU!

i used to be a huge horror movie fiend

but it's been so bad in the past decade or so i haven't enjoyed much recently

Yeah, I hear that.

I took a year off last year but I'm coming back around to it again. I go to the cons and stuff - listen to a lot of podcasts.

I've missed it.

I like most horror movies to a certain extent, even the really bad ones like The Devil Inside but lately I really Japanese horror.

The original Ring scared the crap out of me!! OH! And Ju-on (aka the grudge).

StitchinOutLoud: Seen Audition yet?

some of the japanese and Korean horror is pretty good

Machine Girl, Tokyo Gore Police, Suicide Club...

i think the original eye movie lost me in the second half but some of that stuff is good

piddleloop: Agreed.

Ju-on was awesome

i also liked the original movie where they took the pictures i can't remember the original name of it the US remake had Pacy from Dawson's

Creek in it

and your photo would be all messed up stealing your soul?

Snippit: YES!! That girl was EEEFFFFFF

EFFFFF'd up!!!

piddleloop:

piddleloop: Duh, sorry. It was Shutter!

StitchinOutLoud: I know! Total freakazoid!

that's it! oh i just looked it up it was a Thai horoor flick

i liked the original of that one
