    Obviously I would be one of those who would react on this post

    I'm personally a bit meh about genres all together, but that's besides the point...

    A horror comedy is placed in horror because it's HORROR comedy; a stamp it gets for involving horror themes (monsters, killers, whatever). Simple. Not always fitting, but that's what it is.

    Nudity and violence often equals exploitation (especially if it only has nudity and violence ), something that usually is considered a sub-genre of horror.

    I still agree that horror movies should be scary films, but that is also something that could make a drama considered a horror to some. Wouldn't make sense.

    Not getting into a debate or anything, not in the mood at all, just had to drop a comment :mhehe:

    KoolMike, DM, Tawd-- thanks for the insight.

    Metaphor- recently saw a totally hilarious movie that is supposed to be horror. Cool special effects, but still horror.

    I will check out the movies mentioned, I personally like most of the horror movies made in the '70's.

    I have seen "House of 1000 Corpses", and I liked it as well as the sequel. But it wasn't scary.

    Ghosts are particularly scary if it's done right, and I think that special effects can make all the difference in a movie if you are going for truly scary.

    the movies that play by "the rules"--, don't go upstairs, don't have sex, etc. Aren't really frightening because you can already tell what's going to happen next. I think that the best ones of late that I have seen have been foreign, or remakes from foreign films. Hey did you guys think that "Hostel" was freaky? I'm on the fence about that one.

    I do however like some of Rob Zombie's choices when he does a remake, I can't wait to see "Halloween 2".

    IMO horror is something horrific. I know that's rather simplistic but people keep talking about scary movies, but what's scary to one may not be scary to another.
    For me most horror movies just are not scary. (Although the Grudge still gets me going sometimes).
    Horror is the monsters within reality and within our imaginations and the terrible things that happen to all the people that get too close to whatever is causing the horror.
    I've had debates recently about the movie Coraline because to me that is a kid's horror movie. It has the right atmpsphere and some rather nasty happening without being bloody or over the top. It's just sort of spooky in a weird and interesting way. If it had been live action and not as playful people would view it differently IMO.

    The only idiot here is you.

    I'm not sure what the point of this was; to try and get a rise out of me or you just doing what you do best: running your mouth for no reason. But between this thread, this one, and this one. It seems like you're looking for trouble by talking shit.

    And there really isn't any reply needed to the above message for the obvious fact that it's pointless shit talking, and the other that the stupidity of it is astounding. Feel free to keep running your mouth though DMHead, being pathetic seems to suit you quite well.

    Not pissed at all. What he said was just childish and stupid, and I felt the need to reply, which is pretty much what he wanted with his nonsense replies. So no thanks on trying to blow what I said out of proportion strt, especially since, like I said, it's obvious DMHead has been trying to get a reply out of me. Because he has taken an issue up with me for some reason.

    Take DMHead's reply in the Warning!!! Pedophile Released thread. I never once said, "it was a real horror movie." Someone asked if it was a real movie and I linked to the thread I had made earlier about the movie, without saying anything else.

    No one in "mainstream" filmmaking makes horror comedies? No one in "mainstream" filmmaking makes gore films? There aren't any "mainstream" horror movies with excessive nudity? Only underground films do such things? If you actually believe that then you truly no nothing about horror movies.

    I think when you start to classify movies as horror or non-horror it seems useless to me. There are lots of different types of movies that can evoke a lot of feelings/emotions. I tend to have a very broad definition of what would be considered horror. Gory, violent, and disturbing movies may be exploitation but i'd toss them into the horror category along with action/comedy/drama movies with horror elements.

    Does it really matter if you call Army of Darkness a Action-Comedy-Horror or a Comedy-Action-Horror or a Horror-Comedy-Action?

    You are saying horror films have to be scary . DM you are a year or 2 beyond my age and if you still find movies scary, I dont know what to say. Sex and violence go together in the horror media. Ever since the 60's and 70's these have been horror elements in the genre.
    When Cata said he wasn't pissed for your post, I dont believe him for a second. The only thing idiotic was your post.

    Don't worry Raven, you didn't do anything wrong.

    This is just nonsense spilling over from stuff that happened before you joined.

    And Sky, I wasn't pissed. Scouts honor.

    Now, back on topic...again

    Underground horror is just as much "horror" as mainstream horror IMO, just not enjoyed as much by the masses.

    No? It's not my fault he gets his period if someone has an opinion.

    That's my beef with underground horror...it's not scary and often stupid

    Deal with it Cata. Every post I make is not a flag for you. I could give a fuck about you.
