The Poltergeist
 

Who here thinks that The Poltergeist was the greatest non slasher horror movie?

Not me. It was only mildly interesting at times.

scarriest G rated movie ever

where do you keep getting this crazy idea that the horror genre is primarily based on slasher films? Hate to break it to ya, but horror has been around a good 50 or 60 years before the slasher catagory was even introduced into the mix, which was back in the early 80's.

Horror has been around at LEAST 80 years, and the slasher movies started in the 70's. They really got started in the 80's, though.
But yeah, the assumption that most horror movies are slashers is bullshit.

Yeah, I meant to say late 70's to early 80's but I had already typed it, and oh fuck, didn't feel like changing it. LOL

the 50's horror movies were great, but I much prefer the German silent ones of the 20's. Cabinet of Dr. Caligari > Frankenstein

True, "Poltergeist" was good...But, not the "greatest non-slasher horror movie"...

The movie "IT"...was not a slasher movie...see my point?:)

Notice, on this thread I insulted no one. I posted my opinion, as I was doing, before some raving idiots laid in on me.

Look, i know that there are alot of better movies but it seem like slasher movies are all that are coming out nowadays. And no one seem to watch the classics anymore. Just wondering some
of your opinions
