Real Horror Fans?
 
A quick poll:

How many people do you think are real horror fans in the US? That live breath and watch anything with a horror sticker on it?

How many people do you actually know that are?

Personally I know one.

Have they seen A NIGHT TO DISMEMBER ...no one can call themselves a real fan with out seeing it..

I think that definition of "horror fan" stinks.

Ferox13 08-22-2008 08:57 AM

Sorry for me thats the cut off point.

I love watching horror but I don't think to be a real horror fan you have to love all horror. We still have opinions on films.

LilMissScareAll 08-22-2008 09:59 AM

I love most horror movies(as long as they aren't completely BORING & stupid) but there are those that are boring & stupid....that I don't like. :p I will give anything horror related a chance & watch it though but I've seen some movies that are so bad I've had to turn them off after the first few minutes... I just couldn't finish them.

I'll watch a bad horror movie if it is somehow entertaining (Plan 9 from Outer Space, Eegah, etc.). But if the movie is just poop nuts, I won't watch it no matter what genre it is.

This is the stupidest conversation I've ever read. "Hey guys, do you know anyone thats a super horror fan? I know one, it's me!"

What the hell is a "real" horror fan (according to arbitrary behaviours set out by some other fanboy/girl)

Blargle.

It's hard for me to sit down to watch a non-horror movie.

I thought Titanic was a film that would have still been boring if it was half as long as it is. They could have used all of that money to feed some african kids but no, they blew it on a story we already know how is going to end!

crabapple 08-23-2008 08:40 AM

I'm surprised so many people hate on it...I never saw it, but I thought it was pretty good. ;) ;)

it's inhumane to feed starving african kids because it only prolongs their suffering.

LMFAO!!!!! Dolly, You are seriously "The Shit". :D

Roderick Usher 08-23-2008 07:34 PM

I find that norrowing one's scope to focus all your energy on one genre makes for a rather one-dimnesional point of view. I love horror. I'm a huge horror fan. I make horror, but I would never say that I'd watch anything labled horror.

That said, I'm more prone to watching bad horror than bad drama or bad comedy

stenchofdeath 08-26-2008 02:54 AM

Everybodys definition of "real horror" fan is going to be different. To some it might be someone who has only horror movies in their collection. It might be a fan that goes to horror conventions. To me it is defined by someone who looks at the movies from across the years. Also who has a broad knowledge of what are considered classics. I think it is healthy to look at the different types, and years in horror film.

well, thats a way politer way of expressing it than i usually do.

Noah 08-26-2008 06:29 AM

Horror is my favourite genre. But in NO WAY do I watch everything related. Some of the horror shit that's out there is complete and utter fucking garbage.

Some movies are so bad they're "good", and some movies are just so fucking atrocious, I wish I would've had that time back.

But I think that's with any genre. Because I'm a MOVIE fan overall, I don't just focus my time and attention onto one genre of flicks.

I seriously laughed out loud at this one. That was hilarious.

on subject, I hate the "Real fan" subject. Its usually brought up by nerds trying to pigeon hole people into groups, almost always designed to make themselves elite for liking something the "right" way and making other people "less qualified" because they are different.

Basically, it is a way for geeks with no real identity or talent to try and make themselves feel important.

"dude! You Dont know Jean Luc Picard's shoe size? You AREN'T a Star Trek fan."

PArdon me while I shoot myself for breathing fresh air and having felt the touch of a woman :rolleyes:

trust me, it took restraint

when I first typed it, it read something like: FUCK OFF, DIPSHIT!

But then I realized that maybe it was a bit too strong.
