Scream is not Nu-Horror because it's not horror. Just because almost all the new horror directors and writers can't see past the surface of the movie is no reason to lump it in with all the quasi-ripoffs that are horror movies.

Some bands that are thrown into the nu-metal category I actually like and I feel they are unjustly lumped in with the likes of Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit. Like I said, it's just a peve. How about Faux-horror? Hehe.

Well, I just hate the term "faux"...It reminds me of "faux paus", of which I commit so very many...LOL...

Avenger...You HAVE to know that I am kidding, I happen to be in a very playful mood right now...as a matter of fact, I am laughing my ass off...LOL...hahahaha :D :D :D

the reason i agree with calling it nu-horror is because its just not the same anymore friday the 13th and nightmare on elmstreet are horror but the reason i call it nu-horror is because its for a differant audience not for us loyal fans but the people who watch 1 film and decide there hardcore but dont know anything about old school horror..

and avenger if you dont like calling resent horror films nu horror why do you catagorise old school horror as old school??:confused:

just saying whats on my mind:)

If you say something is horror isn't that technically categorizing?

Well, you just said what I was going to. So you're not missing anything, just overlooking it.

Old school is not derogatory to me. And it encompasses a long period of time. Old School can be anything from the start of the genre to the early 90's. It's a damn broad generalization.
