ood and gore all day. Dislkie supernatural (women's shite paaahhhh) although both are terribly cliche riddled, however, i'm more tolerant of blood and gore cliches than supernatural ones

I like horror movies that make me afraid to sleep in that dark and thats why I prefere movies based on the supernatural. Blood and Gore movies like Saw do not scare me in the least. To me is just a bunch of people being ripped apart and slaughtered... seen plenty of that in war movies.

When I go to bed at night, I have no fear of some insane guy bursting into my house with a chainsaw. I live in a rather safe area so I don't even worry about buglers for that matter.

I believe in ghosts (though I have never had an experiances with one) so movies about the supernatural are what give me the chills.

Hi Tebok,
For me I prefer supernatural or paranormal movies, my all time favourite is "The Exorcist" it's success was based on two strands of belief, the belief in evil, and the belief that evil can be cast out, William Peter Blatty described it as "The Mystery Of Faith" I also enjoyed the Exorcism of Emily Rose, based on the true story of Annaleise Michel, who was thought to be possessed by demons and died during the exorcism ritual, these films deal with a subject matter which is still much debated, the Catholic church are loathe to recognise the possibility that someone could become possessed by another entity, and would sooner accept such a condition as a psychological disorder, however, these films tap into our most primitive fears, the fear of the devil and other dark forces, things which aren't easily explained, and yet appear all too real, I have had encounters with ghosts, I own and use a Ouija board, I am an experienced user, I also read the Tarot, and in doing so have experienced many strange and unexplainable occurences, I have held seances and attracted entities which were mischievous at least, but threatening at other times, where in such a case, I close down the session with the relevant address to the spirit world, it is very interesting but can also be frightening.

Thanks for the story.

Blood and Gore

vampyd1977 12-14-2014 11:09 AM

i`d go with suspense/tension movies, though i find movies like paranormal activity dissapointing as the tension always seems to lack a knock out blow.

my favorite genre outside that would be supernatural species movies, vampires and werewolves and the such. vampires being my all time favorites.

haha I'm a gore whore all the way! Blood and gore wins for me....not a fan of supernatural (or scifi) didn't even give any of the paranormal activity films a glance but that's just me

Interesting, what's are the 'relevant addresses' to the spirit world (at the close of a session)? Can you give me an example?

I much like this question. Certainly makes me think. I love monster flicks. The effects and stories are such fun, and I love drawing creatures while watching them as they are so inspiring. If ''blood and gore'' is slasher type flicks then I love those too. They're entertaining to watch with their 97% predictable survivor rate. I do collect werewolf everything, so I suppose I'll have to vote supernatural.
