Just wondering if any of you like horror movies or books. I myself love the genre, and would love to discuss favorite authors and or movies.

Just to get things started (hopefully) I'll say this:

WITHOUT EDGAR ALLEN POE, THERE WOULD BE NO HORROR.

My favorite horror movie, on the other hand, would be more modern...
The Ring.

anyone else out there interested in horror?jaw drop jaw drop jaw drop

thats okay, too. they can certainly unsettle you. but I guess I am used to horror. I live in horror, in the city of Philadelphia, where the genre was born.
Poe wrote his first horror story on fairmount avenue, downtown Philly proper.

So, the ring was excellent. truly horrible. and I dont get easily impressed. something about that jittery little video really messed me up.

just my luck, two pretty girls like horror, and they both live on the other side of the continent. good luck to both of you gals.
cheers, and thanks for replying to my little post.yay yay yay

the ring was the only horror movie made after 1950 or so which really got to me. I dont want to give it away, in case you see it, but theres this little movie inside the movie, which really freaked me out when I saw it. also I was alone in a dark cabin in the woods when I saw it. what a way to get off?
Mostly, though, I read horror. I write short horror stories and some poems, for publication someday, and so I read as much classic horror as I can.

yeah, steven king is alright, I guess. I mean, he did alot for horror, he brought it to widespread attention like no other. He just doesnt have the beauty of it down as much as some of the older writers. What, by the way, was your favorite King book?
I liked the Stand so much, I have read it at least six times.

Yes, I like horror movies and books. My best friend is a comic book artist and writer. One of his comic book creations is being turned into a horror flick. Pretty exciting stuff!

ah to be in england now that horror is there

see what I mean, America??? not one soul in this uneducated country has ever even HEARD of Shelley or Byron. And yet, they were the epitome of romantic poetry, and they both dabbled in bizarre and horrifying epic poetry.

For example, Shelley (who married Mary Shelley - Frankenstein) wrote an epic poem called Ghasta, which is unbelievable. have you read that one, by any chance.

You have just listed two of my all time favorite poets. Who else do you like? Its a shame I am not in England, I'm sure I could find the right woman over there.
Cheers for that, doll,kiss kiss kiss

Main thing that's important is the writing!

Then you need good acting, a good budget and a good plot, and preferably implied violence without the need to show it which is far scarier.

I think Alien has to be one of the best.Well made in every aspect and still stands up today, especially as it deals with real human base instinks which we will always find terrifying!

Also helps when the monster is believable too! And this about as good as it gets.
