SignUp Now!I love old horror movies.
I have such a huge collection of films from the silent era through the early 1950s. I detest "modern" horror.
There was just something about Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. They were such great actors that by simply changing expression, or subtly altering the tones of their voices you could read so much into the story on screen without ever witnessing anything gruesome. And the storylines were so much more suspenseful. That was when they relied on great tales rather than sex, violence, or multi-million dollar special effects.
I don't mind the older horror films at all. In fact, I watch them with my younger nephews and nieces. It's sharing something I love that I feel is a wholesome alternative to the utter filth at the theater nowadays.
These classics often had a moral as well. usually, that evil no matter how powerful would always be overcome by good. And that love was infinitely more potent than baser emotions.
Oh, I'm also a fan of Godzilla and other giant atomic monsters.
Hmm, I actaully like horror. But I hate violence and I'm one of those people who cover my eyes when a violent scene appears. (I'm actually anti-violent and am offended by real violence on the streets). However I like to be a little scared every now and then. I don't base any of my values or morals on it. I don't feel that it is going against God to be lightly entertained in this nature but maybe I'm wrong? I never feel like I'm sinning when I watch them.
Hey, there is one thing I definatly draw limits on. Any sacreligious or blasphemy genre. For instance, I cannot and will not watch any sort of exorcism movies.
p.s. I like the Dean Koontz books
Looks like we are the only two who like horror films,here!
What about the soaps do you think they're not right to watch either, I did stop watching these for months but admit am watching them again, but really don't think the material in them is good, they are always swilling down alcohol, committing adultery, lying, stealing on and on.....what you think?
