Well, you HAVE to watch yourself when talking with Freddy... Pisses him off and you die.

Yeah... you could say that about all the movie monsters XD Except Michael Myers, since he'd just wanna kill you anyway. And the fucker from the Saw series, he's too damn lazy to kill you himself. Ugh. I hate that series, fucking torture porn.

Well, with Michael, we don't even go near him. He wouldn't give us time to say a word.
Well, I sort of liked the Saw series, but after Jonh died... I don't know. The 5 one was just torture and really evil... They exagerated in the traps, I mean, the audience have a limit to bear gore things and torture.

Seriously.
I've never even bothered watching Saw, the whole premise just pisses me off. A couple of my friends insist I'd enjoy it, but I'd be too mad at it. My brother said he walked out halfway through because it pissed him off, and he doesn't get mad as easily as I do. (Of course, slasher flicks piss me off too, but they're a different can of bloodthirsty worms.)

In the beginning, I liked it, but now... It's trash. Just a lot of people suffering and blood.
Wanna know a movie that REALLY pissed me off? Wax House. I mean, it was just a crazy guy and people suffering and it was DISGUSTING!
Oh, but Mike M, Freddy and the others are different! I must say, I love horror movies, but they have to be good!

Do you mean House of Wax? Isn't that the one where Paris Hilton meets some awful death that's bizarrely cathartic for the audience?
I know it's a classic and a John Carpenter flick and normally I love John Carpenter (The Thing is one of my favourite movies ever), but man, the whole time I was watching Halloween I kept wondering when it was going to get scary =w= Of course, I've been told I was watching it for entirely the wrong reasons; the key's to view them as wish fulfillment rather than frightening XD I get really picky with my horror flicks; I like monsters, ghosts, character development, atmosphere, and weird shit.

I just remember that it was the House of Wax released in 2005, that was a complete garbage full of disgusting things. I hate when they make movies thinking that just because there is blood and disgusting deaths, we'll get scared. I get sick of the stomach.
The first Halloween I did not like also. I liked the new one, Halloween The Beginning (or something like that). It was much better than the first one.
I love characters development and stuff too. I'm into a more phisycological (sp?) terror. I do love monsters and ghosts (13 Ghosts was cool. Not the BEST movie ever, but cool).

Man, I hate that kind of gore. It's not scary, it's just disgusting, or, if it's too over the top, flat out absurd. Narm, as TV Tropes would say. A cup of strategically placed blood goes way farther than a gallon. Guillermo del Toro and John Carpenter (usually) can do it right.
The Rob Zombie one? I never saw it... I never got around to it, just like I never got around to seeing the Nightmare on Elm Street remake... was it any good, do you know?
Psychological terror is marvelous. It's why I love ghost movies; those seem to rely more on atmosphere and character development than slasher flicks. ((Really hates slashers)) I will enthusiastically maintain that "Poltergeist" is the gold standard for ghost movies, although "The Changeling" and the original version of "The Haunting" are pretty damn good. Hmm... I haven't seen "Poltergeist" in a while...

Yeah, I rented the House of Wax because I do like John Carpenter, but I stopped watching after half hour more or less because I saw that it was gore disgusting and without a real purpose.
I did not watch the new nightmare, but I made some research and I do not feel like watching it. Not just Robert Englund did not play Freddy Krueger (and the new actor did not convince me) as they changed a lot of things from the original movie, where Freddy NEVER had meet Nancy and he was a child KILLER. Now he RAPED Nancy when she was a kid. I know that with all those little girls singing around makes people think about pedo, but honestly, I love Freddy Krueger since I was ten (crazy enough?) and I really hated the changes they made. One thing is taking off his 'funny lines' (okay, I agree on that) and another is turning him in a regular pedo (not that a guy who kills you in dreams can be called 'normal' but you got it)
Oh, I love those movies so much! Poltergeist is amazing, I just wanted to watch the sequels!

It was a John Carpenter? Really? ((Has never seen it))
Methinks since I'm not exactly a fan of the other, the changes wouldn't bother me, unless they make him less scary, which I've heard happened with the changes to Michael Myers. (Not that I find the idea of a truly mindless killer that frightening; give me a guy like Hannibal Lecter over Myers any day of the week.) Actually, the whole reason I wanted to see the new Nightmare was because I like the guy playing Freddy XD Or, at least, I liked him as Rorschach. I kind of feel like I never gave that franchise a chance, since I stopped paying attention half an hour into the first... but hey, since Hallowe'en is just around the corner, it'll likely be on the telly soon. Yay tellies XD
I've never seen the sequels, I've heard they're absolute dreck. Buuuut I wanna watch 'em anyway >w> I've been known to waste my time with bad movies, some of which I end up really liking. I've heard folks say that the movie "Reeker" is pretty bad, but I like it anyway, if only because there's a chick that gets killed in an outhouse. It's little touches of originality like that that really sell me on a movie XD

I bothers me because I've always liked Freddy Krueger (except in some movies where he was more comic than scary). I liked the remake of Halloween because it explained a lot about Michael and how he became a killer but between Michael and Hannibal, I go for Hannibal too. He was always a great character, scary but charming (in a creepy way).
Most of the sequels suck, but some of them can be good (one for example was Ginger Snaps) and since I've never watched it, I'm going to give it a chance.
Originality is the key to everything in my opinion. We are tired to see always the same thing in horror movies when there is the same as ever: The Hot Chick, the Hot Chick's Best Friend, The Cute Guy and the Hot Jerk and a villain kills everyone less the Cute and the Hot Chick who end up together.
One thing that always pissed me off: Why they go upstairs when running away?

To me, Lecter's far more frightening than any slasher flick monster, since he's a fucking genius. He's intelligent, and he knows he shouldn't, but he does anyway, purely for the lulz. In the first movie, at least, Myers just seemed like a killing machine. He might know how to hunt his targets, but so does a tiger, and it's not that intelligent.
Yeah, the second "Hellraiser" movie was just as good as the first, too... although all the rest were rubbish :/ Yeesh, especially the fourth one... I mean, who let Mel Brooks onto the set? "CENOBITES! IN! SPAAAAAAAAACE!" ((Facepalms))
Don't forget the Neighborhood Slut, who'll of course die because she's easy and only Virgins get to live. And the Token Minorities, who also die, because only Whitey McWhiterson and his chaste girlfriend are allowed to live. (Although the remake of "House on Haunted Hill" was a slight subversion of that rule, since one of the survivors was the black guy. The other, of course, was the chaste, blonde, white girl.) The trouble is that people see something that's become popular, and they think that for their flick to be popular, it has to be a copy of the original. I point to "Saw" and the torture porn flicks that proliferated in its wake. (Or "Twilight" *gags* and the subsequent teen vampire books that sprang up like mushrooms in its glittery shadow.) They don't realize that the original became popular because it was different, not a carbon copy of something else, with Names Changed To Protect The Innocent.
They're all genre-blind and dumb as a box of rocks. A lot of the scrapes that generic horror movie characters get into are ones that no real person would ever get into, even if they're scared for their lives, because no one is that stupid in real life. It's the biggest problem I have with slasher flicks; I spend more time yelling at the characters than being scared. "YOU STUPID TWAT, FUCKING LOOK BEHIND YOU. YOU KNOW THERE'S A KILLER ON THE LOOSE AND YOU'RE STOPPING FOR A LITTLE NOOKIE? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, DO THAT WHEN YOU'VE GOTTEN TO SAFETY! JESUS." The only one I ever liked was the first "Scream," and I think it was more of a loving parody than a straight-up slasher. The others all take themselves too seriously.
Wooo, long reply XD

The first one of Michael for me was a bit boring, but there was one about a group of teens going to his house, something about those reality games and Michael WAS there and this girl got help from a guy who was watching and sending messages by phone to help her. I don't remember very well, it was something like that... I really enjoyed that movie.
I really love Hannibal also because he likes Clarice and I really, really like pairings villainxheroine (maybe even too much) XD.
More or less like Star Wars, Vader and Luke? I think that even bad guys have a heart, therefore, they may have someone they love and a family, they can be evil but they are still humans (except when they are psycopaths, because those can just love themselves).
Like Jason X... I've never watched it and neither want to. What is that? 'Oh, he never dies. Let put him in a coffin and send him to space' WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? Hello? He is a killer from Camp Crystal Lake, what about LET him stay there? The whole point is Jason killing people IN that camp!
Yeah, those too. I really hate those sterotypes they use in movies (btw I really liked the remake of House on Haunted Hill. The sequel is not bad, although they made some stupid things such as using some lame excuse for the fact that the doctor was nuts and whatever. Can't he be evil just BECAUSE? Some people just ARE evil).
Oh, please, don't even speak of Twilight (or, as I call, Twishit). Nothing against a romance between a vampire and a human (Well, I'm a girl, of course I like it) but c'mon! I had to watch one and there were two scenes that made me really mad (the whole movie made, but those scenes win the Oscar of Bullshit): First when that stupid Bella is with the Gay Butterfly (he sparkles in sun, for me he's a butterfly not a bat) she is pratically saying 'Fuck me, please' and he is all 'Oh, I've lived so long, in my time I would ask your father to marry you' and all that. I swear, I yealled 'gay'. Vampires are known because of their sexual desire and of the pleasures and there comes that guy saying that does not want to sleep with her until wedding? I don't know ANY guy who would do that!
Second when that werewolf (that never wears a fucking shirt so a lot of stupid girls start to scream when he appears as if he could hear) kissed her by force (At least SOMEONE here seems to still be in part a MALE) and she slaps him... And breaks her hand. C'MON! Is that girl totally worthless? Can't she even slap a guy without breaking her poot glass-made hand? ARGH!
It's stupid! And there comes a lot of JERKS who think that's a great story! Poor Anne Rice (and I bet Bram Stoker is crying in his grave). I really want to be a writer and one of 'ideas for books' I have is about vampires, but seeing what they are doing with vampires and werewolves makes me sick!
I hate it.
I yell all the time too. Okay, when you're scared, you don't even THINK, but there is something called survival instinct that comes in handy. If there is a guy chasing you, you won't go upstairs! YOU'LL GO TO THE STREET YELLING ALL YOU CAN FOR HELP!
I love terror movies, but the slashers usually are not so different of each other. Want to know a good movie that scared the hell out me? The Mist. Because the fear, the real fear, was not because of the monsters outside, but the humans inside the store and how pression and fear made them to change into the real monsters. Stephen King rocks.
Long reply here too XD But to be honest, I like it

I dunno, I thought Lecter started suffering from Badass Decay (in TV Tropes language) when Harris wrote him into bed with Clarice. (Although some would argue that he was suffering from Badass Decay from page one.) Subtext is fine, I can just ignore that XD But I dunno, sometimes romance spoils it for me. I don't know that Lecter is capable of ordinary love, the way the rest of us think of it. I'd think his standards would be too high. To me he was more fascinated with Clarice than in love with her; kind of, "This individual's psychology is interesting, let's take it apart and see how it works." But that's just me.
SERIAL KILLERS! IN! SPAAAAAAACE! WE'RE KILLERRRRRRS... OUT IN SPAAAAACE... WE'RE ZOOMING ALONG, MURDERING THE HU~UMAN RAAAAAACE... ((Gets shot)) I can't help it, I hear about something in space, and I immediately make Mel Brooks jokes. It's a reflex. ((Puts on Caruso shades)) A gag reflex. YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHH. ...Oh man, that was a terrible pun, even by my standards XD
Man, I totally dig the HoHH remake. I managed to grab it and the original for, like, ten bucks once. The original's great, too; it's so cheesy I could put it on a burger. Or rather a ham sandwich, thanks to Vincent Price XD (Who I adore, btw.) Skeletons on strings ftw XD I never saw the sequel, though.
Well, I'm a guy that wouldn't jump a girl just because she wanted me to... but I'm asexual, so there you go. I had a teacher try to defend the sparklepires once; she said that they're fictional, so a writer can do whatever they want with them. That's fine. I can see where she's going with that. But jeezy, if you're going to change something that's been around for centuries, at least justify those changes. I mean, there's no good reason for the sparklepires. Someone told me that they sparkle because their skin is hard as diamonds. That doesn't make sense, because I do believe that raw, uncut diamonds can be pretty damn dull. There's no internal logic in "Twilight," just a crappy writer trying to be interesting. (And failing miserably, imho.)
Exactly. To me, slasher flicks aren't scary, they're an exercise in how to write stupid characters. Oy.
Oh man, I loved "The Mist," especially the ending. Man, that was harsh XD And the monsters; I have to admit that the part I liked the best was that part near the end with that ENORMOUS beastie crossing the road in front of them while Dead Can Dance's "Host of the Seraphim" wailed forth... oh man o man, that was so. fucking. cool. ((Swoons)) It was so Lovecraftian, and I am a huuuuuuuge H.P. Lovecraft fan.
Yeah, long comments are fun; you get to know folks better than one-word comments.

I don't know because I can barely remember the book (XD Need to read it again) but I don't think that any Bad Guy, when in love, will love like an ordinary guy. I think that's for. Sometimes, all that 'I Love You, I'll Die For You' and stuff can get a bit too 'sweet' for me. Nothing against a guy telling a girl he loves her and will protect her, but villains seem to love in a 'darker' way (I don't mean /hitting/ the girl, of course.) and that's add a bit of emotion to the relationship (plus, sometimes the heros say lines that I think no guy would say in front of everyone else).
Even villains have a heart (okay, some of them, I guess).
About loving Clarice... I don't know. Really. Maybe it was just the time he spent with her (And after all, that time alone in a cell helped a little).
By the way, a thing that I hate is love in the first sigh. When that happens, I always say 'That's no love. That's sexual desire, you like the way she/he looks!' How can you love someone when you first see them? A chick can be a real pain and at the same time, be remarkable beautiful.
(Hey no worries. It's your opinion and I respect that n.n)
LOL! I actually laughed at this! But really... REALLY. Sending slashers to space. Who was the 'genius' who started this? I sure would like to meet him/her just to ask how much high he/her was!
The sequel is not that bad, but is not so good as the first one. There are some scenes that are pretty good, though.
REALLY? Oh man, I just watched the trailer on the DVD.
Agreed! Vampires ARE stronger and all, but that is no reason to 'have a skin hard as diamonds'. He is not a statue, for crying out loud.
Of course, not if it was a random girl (in that case I would even suspect she was running away from a mental hospital) but that girl was not any girl. It was his girlfriend, sure you'd think he WANTED to make love to her? (And as if it wasn't bad enough, a friend told me he doesn't even bite her in the end. He applies his blood on her with a syringe).
Yeah. I even write fics of NOES, but I do not let Krueger make any jokes. Really, some slasher movies are made of good ideas, but they are totally ruined.
In the end I almost laughed. The guy kills his son, his friends and scream to the monsters... There are the militaries helping and killing monsters! Tell me about irony! (What I liked was to see the woman who had gone home to their kids there, alive and safe! Take that! Is easier to survive in a small group and if it's your family, it's better. Too many people, locked in one place, scared to death? That's far more dangerous than the monsters!)
Cool indeed! I loved them, especially the bugs (although I was really scared: I hate bugs!) and that dinosaur-like bird! That was great!
Agreed. It's better, we can talk more.

Well, it was the third book, "Hannibal," in which Harris wrote Lecter and Clarice together. I read that part and I was like, "Seriously? Wtf, bro. Wtf." Leaving aside the fact that he's old enough to be her granddad... It just seemed too out of character for both of them.
The same person that thought of sending the Cenobites to space in the fourth "Hellraiser" movie, maybe? In which case, I posit that he/she/zie'd done about three pounds of weed and watched a "Star Trek" marathon. And if that wouldn't fry your braincells, I don't know what would.
It's kind of hilarious by today's standards XD Especially Mr Price. "Don't stay up thinking of ways to get rid of me, it makes wrinkles." And let's not forget his really hammy acting when posing as a skeleton: "COME WITH ME, MURDERESS." We love you, Vincent Price, but man o man, keep the ham in your lunchbox XD
You're asking an asexual about wanting to sleep with someone XD However, yes, it does seem a little strange that a sexual guy would turn his girlfriend down because he doesn't want to have premarital sex. I guess that's Smeyer's Mormonism coming through or something... Seriously, a syringe? Oh geezy. I read a hilarious recap of the last book; seems like it has some fantastic squicky bits in it. If they were to make a movie out of it, they'd have to get Takashi Miike, infamous director of "Audition" and "Ichi the Killer" to direct it, because no one else would have the balls to leave the squick in. Well, David Cronenberg might. Wait, get them both! There we go. I'd totally watch that shit.
I'd love to see a decently written slasher flick, one that's actually scary and has intelligent characters. Maybe Stephen King could write it... his characters usually have IQs into the triple digits.
Well, sometimes larger groups are better; more eyes and ears, and more weaponry. Just keep out the fundies; they might have done at least okay if that fundy bitch hadn't been whispering fire and brimstone in everyone's ears. She pissed me off; I kept wanting to step into the film, backhand her Archy-style, and tell her to go be stupid somewhere else. I don't get along with fundies like her. I'm sure there're some good fundies out there, but I haven't met them.
I'm just a sucker for monsters There was some Korean monster flick I've been wanting to see, but I can't think of the name for the life of me D: It had something to do with pollution and mutation of a tadpole or something... ((Headdesk))

Yeah, if you think well, it does make sense. I've never read the third book, so I didn't know about it. But the kiss scene in the movie was really cool Well, at least I liked, because it was not a 'love-kiss' such the ones of ''Normal'' pairings, full of sugared romance and stuff, it was a kiss, but it was still Hannibal, a really dangerous guy.
Probably something like that! Or maybe they have deep mental issues... I really don't get what is wrong with those people sending Jason, Cenobites and god knows who else to the space! But they must share the same problem with some people who used to think that Voldemort was Harry Potter's father -no kidding, there were a lot of people who believed that...- Really, guys, I love 'Star Wars' too, with all my soul, Darth Vader being Luke's father is also my kind of thing, BUT LET'S GET REAL HERE, PLEASE? WHAT ARE YOU? OBSESSED OR CRAZY? COULD YOU STOP FOR A F-MINUTE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
I'm telling you man, those people need therapy!
Agreed... Seems that it's always like this, when they can't get new ideas, insteat of moving on, they always do the same: Let's send them to the space. Let's ressurect them AGAIN and send them to God Knows Where. Let's use crazy taglines... All that makes me think that they are trying to make us all laugh to death and not scared to death. Original ideas are dying, that's why there are many movies which are supposed to be scary or at least give you some frighs, but no... They are more comedy.
Yup, a syringe. No kidding. I bet my heart: Stoker is crying in heaven. I can't believe someone had the guts to write something like that...
True. Stephen King usually writes really good stuff. There is also a book, I can't remember the author (Richard something) called 'Hell House' that is really good too.
Agree, we need new slashers around here and it would be really good if they were actually scary. 'Valentine' was pretty cool, I don't know if we could call it slasher, but is a good movie neverthless.
I really don't like larger groups. At least in that kind of situation, this can be pretty dangerous (humans are scarier than any monster to me) since they are under a lot of pression and when you think well, in those situations there are no rules or police and sometimes it brings up the worse feelings people have inside them.
Oh God, how I HATED that bitch! I remember a guy told her that he believed in God too, but He was not a bloody thristy god who wanted blood and I agreed with him. There is a line between having faith and being a crazy fanatic. But I loved when the old woman threw a can of beans at her head. All people in the theater laughter and we all cheered when she got shot. No one was bearing that crap of her, not even the audience!!!
But you see how it is? In the begininning, no one was listening to her, but in the end everyone was so scared of everything that they started to adore her as if she was a priest or whatever.
I think I've heard about this movie, but I don't know the name either. Yeah, they make great movies about monsters and ghosts. One that I liked (don't know if it's korean) is about a cell phone. There is one too, not korean but japanese called 'Carved' which is pretty cool (not as good as others, but it works when you don't have anything else to watch or to do). When they want to make new things, it doesn't matter if it is about monsters or curses, they usually manage to make it really good. That's why there are some animes that I just love to death (and as unreal and crazy as they can be, some of them have scared me alright).

It's been a while since I saw the movie, I have to admit; maybe it made more sense there. I think in the book it felt too much like he was trying to redeem Lecter somehow, and some villains I prefer as proper villains. Of course, that's just personal taste.
I think there was a movie that even sent Dracula into space... but I've never seen it. I've heard it's absolute rubbish, though. I think it's just a matter of what's popular at the time... although given that space travel hit its peak of popularity in the, what, fifties and sixties, they don't really have excuses. I shouldn't be surprised if someone, someday, makes a cyberpunk flick with Jason or Freddy or whoever traveling the intertubes. Hell, they already did it with the Cenobites, sort of, in the eighth movie. The Cenobites were video game characters. (Oh, thinking of Freddy, I read that originally he actually was intended to be a pedophile rather than a murderer, but Craven didn't want folks thinking he was capitalizing on a recent series of highly publicized child molestations. So Pedobear!Freddy in the remake is more of a return to the original idea.)
Sometimes even the original idea just comes off as funny to me; like, I recently watched the original "Nightmare on Elm Street" in its entirety, although I missed the end because the library copy I was watching FROZE ARGH, and I found myself laughing my ass off at it in places... like in the alley, with Freddy's amazing Extendo-Arms... although Depp's character's death actually got a "Holy shit!" and a jaw-drop out of me. Honestly, I just found Englund's performance too hammy to take seriously, especially in the beginning. Englund's much more believable to me in his role as the Riddler in "The Batman" (the recent anime-esque cartoon). As they say on TV Tropes, Nightmare Fuel is all relative.
I bet when Smeyer wrote that, all the still-living vampire writers clutched their hearts and cried out in pain, kind of like Obi-Wan after the Imperials blew up Dantooine, and all the dead ones simultaneously rolled in their graves. All at once, just like that. ((Snaps his fingers))
Ah, "Hell House" :> I've got a copy of the novel, it's by Richard Matheson, the same fellow that wrote "I Am Legend" and a couple other classics. I haven't read the novel yet... I saw the movie, and it was kind of lulzy, especially Roddy McDowall's character, iirc. I've been meaning to read it for ages. Buuuut I have a lot of books like that... >w>;
I think the only successful slashers are the ones that don't take themselves too seriously; although even those aren't scary, they just seem a higher quality. I liked the first "Scream," which was pretty tongue-in-cheek the entire time, but "Halloween," which is supposed to be SRSBIZNSS just bored me.
That's true; the monsters are just behaving as their natures dictate, and that's that. Humans try to justify their actions, and some of the reasons they come up with are absolute rubbish. The scary part is when they convince others to believe them.
I loved it when the old lady threw the can at her, that was fucking excellent XD She was a pretty badass old lady, making that flamethrower out of the lighter and can of hairspray
Fear makes people do stupid things; they'll cling to anyone that offers a way out or a get-out-of-jail-free card. Look at Nazi Germany.
Have you ever read anything by Junji Ito? That man does some crazy shit, let me tell you. ((Wags his finger like a grumpy old man telling a story)) I consider myself a pretty hardened fella these days, what with all the horror novels I've read and movies I've seen, and the second volume of Ito's "Uzumaki" nearly made me quit the series altogether. (And then I found out that the third volume was the last and bought it anyway.) But the whole series has some fucked-up shit in it... oh god, the bouncing corpse...((Shudders)) Trust me, it's way more terrifying than it sounds.
