go2wrk@95974 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) I dig the horror flicks..Im old enough to remember all the classic friday the 13th and halloween flicks from the mid70's thru 80's. Nightmare on Elm was really great too. ((The worst " Nightmare on Elm St." I ever heard about/later saw on vid, was the one that happened on 11-22-63 in Dallas Tx....RIP JFK)) Got a birthday next month,and I'll be 52.(can't believe it.) I look, act and I feel like 29!......nah..about 37-40ish. Great thread! Edited July 21, 2011 by go2wrk@95974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'll be 33 next month and I love them still. My parents were pretty liberal with me. They didn't care what I watched when I was a kid, as long as I understood what I was seeing was make believe. So my love started early in life for horror movies. A lot of my younger days were spent watching, Halloween, Nightmare On Elm Street, Friday The 13th and Hellraiser. I don't think I turned out to messed up because of that Poltergeist still scares the crap out of me now just like it did in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushman14 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 late 40s. Love them. My mom used to watch scary movies with me when I was kid. I remember the one that rocked my word as a kid was the original "Haunting" http://www.obscurehorror.com/haunting.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWriter Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'm 18 and I didn't vote. I don't much care for them. Horror novels? Completely different story (no pun intended). Love 'em to death. Stephen King's the best. But as for the films.. they're just so corny and not scary. If I go to see a horror film I expect to be.. well, horrified. Or at least remotely scared. I do not expect to be cracking up laughing as another woman trips in her heels running down a dark hallway screaming abnormally loud. I've seen too many and I'm outright sick of the cliches. ...However, if anyone has any horror movie suggestions I'd love to hear them. I've seen many, though, and been impressed by few. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess like heavy metal and other such adolescent stuff, we're supposed to "grow out of it"...? I had a friend in high school and we used to go to the record store at lunch and buy albums and he liked many of the same bands I did. A couple/few years later I ran into him again and said, "Hey, have you seen the new Iron Maiden record is out" and he replied with an eye roll that he'd outgrown that.

Yeah I've been there, and not just recently but as long ago as the late 80s people were saying that shit to me. It makes no sense for me to suddenly switch from Iron Maiden to Lady Gaga or Beethoven or whatever they've grown into just because I'm "expected" to. I think everyone's expected to be stamp collecting, restoring old steam trains, watching romantic comedies starring Cary Grant, darning old socks in a rocking chair and building miniature balsa wood furniture while listening to 16th century chamber music by the time the big 4-0 comes around... Not that there's anything wrong with all that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowItIs Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Loved them since I was a kid. From the cheesy to the really terrifying, and I still love them. Well, all except Torture Porn. I'm 50+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'm 30. Was usually fragile towards horror until several years ago. I prefer the older ones. Can't stand the CGI gore these days. They just don't compare to the mastery of Tom Savini and Rick Baker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 the only kind of horror movies I like are ones that rely on plot and mood. CGI looks silly in horror flicks and those are the ones I stay away from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ Jul 21 2011, 01:03 PM) Nearly 42....and I love the good ones. I'm 43, and same. But I also like the really campy ones too, like 2,000 Maniacs. Or if not campy, then just so bad they're funny. Anyone ever see It's Alive! ??? The whole time I kept thinking - what's the big deal? It's a baby - kick it. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastille Dave Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) I grew up watching Friday The 13th and Halloweeen and the rest of the 70's and 80's ones. I went from the mid 90's to the mid 2000's and probably saw maybe 2 horror movies in that 10 year period. In the last 5 years I've probably averaged 3 per year, I dont love horror movies but once in a while I'll watch a top notch one.

VampireBiscuits Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I love horror movies and I'm 26. If left to my own devices, horror is the majority of what I watch. I grew up in a strict religious household and was never allowed to watch horror movies growing up, but I always wanted to. Once I was on my own, I started catching up on what I missed out on, and now I can't get enough. Good horror, bad horror, old or new, it doesn't matter, I like it all. Especially the Nightmare on Elm Street and Hellraiser franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I'm 28 and love a great deal of good and bad horror movies. I can't get into most of what comes out today though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
