For some reason I just had to edit my avatar cheaply before posting here.

I do like horror movies, but slashers are sort of unsatisfying to me. I saw the remake of House of Wax and hated it; for me there needs to be a reason for the villains killing the people unless the killers are some sort of monsters. That movie was just mindless gore, just these brothers making people into wax statues for absolutely no reason. Just stupid.

As for my favourites, the list will be quite short, since I have seen far less horror films than I'd like to. *Ahem*

Alien: Fantastic movie, just really creepy. The score is magnificent, sort of mystic and adds up to the eerie tones of the film. You sort off feel uncomfortable watching the shots inside the spaceship, it feels crowded even though it's pretty empty. And when there's no one left alive but Ripley, it gets so thrilling that you can't hold on any longer. I can see why people fled the movie theaters. Still, I find Aliens more enjoyable, but I felt that was more of an action movie.

Dawn of the Dead (Remake; Director's Cut): I haven't seen the original, but this is a truly enjoyable zombie movie. Of course I wouldn't have made it through it without all the humorous scenes, like the zombie-shooting game. But the whole idea of a group of people trapped in a mall with zombies everywhere around them is a very likeable one, very good setting for a zombie movie. I like the parody, Shaun of the Dead, a bit better, though. I'm really into horror parodies, like those Simpsons Halloween specials or such.

That pretty much sums it up, I guess. (Told you it'd be short.) I would love to see more horror movies, I'm desperate to see The Shining, for instance. Also, I'd put on Beetlejuice, but that doesn't count as a horror movie, it's more like a dark comedy, and doesn't have any gore in it, just a little bit of gross-out humor. Well, that's my list ...for now! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

(OFF- TOPIC EDIT: Man, this post is terrible! I mean, it's just so incredibly stupid that... uh... something. It's mainly my random reference to Beetlejuice that gets on my nerve. Ugh!)
