| To kick up more dust let's have a "poll". What kind of horror do you find satisfy your tastes? I myself don't really care for slasher or gore or shock crap, but a good "mind fuck" is pretty awesome. I also like supernatural elements, and lots of suspense and series where the characters are completely helpless. Maybe it's my love of the Lovecraftian style, but I also love it when one or more people go insane. Now you guys. What do you like? Gore hounds? Thriller junkies? What's your particular style? |
| Well, as for Me, I mostly indulge myself into classical Horror genere, but also adore fresh and creative approach to the subject that a vaguely called "mindfuck" manga has to offer. Alas, my love for a good storyline puts guys like Shintaro Kago or Suehiro Maruo on the second place to junji Ito and alike. As for accompanying generes, I do like a drop of psychokillers, like Ichi and characters from MPD Psycho / Nightmare Detective. Apart from manga, I like korean horrors, especially for their intense colouring and unconventional storyline ("A tale of Two Sisters", "Dead Friend"), japanese ghost-flicks (One missed Call, Dark Water, Ju-On (TV), Kairo, Marebito, Noroi: The curse, etc), japanese extreme movie genere, such as "Kuchu Teien" (hanging garden) and all good examples like Tetsuo: The Ironman, Bullet Ballet, Tokyo Fist, all Miike Takashi / Shinya Tsukamoto films. Western horror is also eadible for me, though I prefere classic things from 60's-?90's, and hate remakes with all repulsive power I can gather. |
| Tetsuo: The Ironman is a really great movie. Though speaking of western horror, I'm really happy to see Sam Raimi working on a horror film. I'm suddenly reminded of the "Evil Dead" days. Hopefully this will be good and bring back some memories. ( I was a horror junkie when I was a kid XD ) |

| Something cool to be placed here in the near future. |
| Well, same as myself. I loved EvilDead (1, not 1-remake), but the idea of Sam re-making his two movies several times in last 10 years is quite disturbing, actually. Even though, I'm looking forward to his "Drag me to hell" film. From what info I dug up, it looks quite promissing. ^^ Also, if You were into western horror sime time ago... ever watched the Hellriser series? :3 |
ska-cze said: Also, if You were into western horror sime time ago... ever watched the Hellriser series? :3 I was a big Hellraiser fan as a kid. I used to pretend my rubiks cube was the puzzle box. The newer movies seem so lame ( especially the one with the "Deaders" ). But I remember watching them all the time. After this I got to really like Clive Barker stuff. His newer books and stories not so much though. Other horror films I loved as a kid were: The Howling ( lol werewolves ) The Shining Killer Clowns from Outer Space ( kids said "It" did it for them, in my case it was this film and the shadow puppet scene where he does a T-rex shadow puppet and it eats an old man ) Puppetmaster Phantasm Dellamorte Dellmore ( Cemetary Man in the US ) The Blob The People Under the Stairs Evil Dead Poltergeist and lots I really can't remember. I even watched the campy blaxploitation film "Blacula". Which was hilarious. Trying to branch out into more foreign horror, I'll take campy films too XD |
| Ah, good to see another Lovecraft fan. ^^ I like very psychological horror, where things get insane and out of control but not necessarily with the help of violence and gore (although sometimes violence is useful to convey a sense of horror, of course). I like interesting and well written characters that face interesting and well written situations. I like "mind fuck" also, and although it's not exactly horror, stories that take things to the extreme and explore taboo subjects are also interesting. I like to finish reading something and feel severely disturbed and scarred. xD |
| Dolls are enough to scare the shit outta me, so with dolls I go. |
| A interesting blood soaked guru is always good ^^ Anything bizzare and bloody will do,but the plot is important too |
| To be continued... |
| I love all horror types but my favorite is a good old survival horror it gives me the chill to see how to organise and try to survive.(I m a horror holic my first was at the age of 4 Evil Dead and since then i nead my daily dosis of horror XD ) |

| I like horror manga with gruesome and disgusting art, psychopathic characters, some paranormal elements, nudity and sex is also not bad XD |
| the "scary" horror of course I dislike it how gorey manga are considered "horror" if anything they're just very violent that's all |
| "Where will a newborn go from here? The net is vast and infinite" - Motoko Kusanagi |
| Psychological and/or supernatural thrillers are the best. I want lots of psychotic, insane, deranged characters and a compelling, creepy, unique plot. I do want some blood in my movies/manga/anime, and I don't mind gore, slasher and splatter (not too extreme though), but only if they're supported with a good story, or else the violence is pointless and gratuitous. I can't stand torture, guro, and sadistic stuff. |
 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| The best example is IBITSU. |
