new horror......when??
 

ok, i love horror films, just like the rest of the members, but don't you think it's about time someone came up with something new, all we seem to be getting is remakes, sequels and english versions of japanese horror, don't get me wrong, i long for sequels of halloween, chucky and friday the 13th films (friday the 13th being my fave and im writing a sequel for it myself at the moment).

but isn't it about time we was given a new horror, for example, get Carpenter, Craven, Argento, Romero, raimi (to name a few great directors) in a room and together come up with a all new, shit ya pants, scary film.

i personally haven't been scared shitless since i was 11 and i first watched friday the 13th (which spawned my obsession with the franchise), i cannot name a film of recent years that has made me not been able to sleep, or made me jump or made me discolour my shorts.

why is it that filmmakers can't realise that there are millions of people out there just wanting that one big scary movie that they will never forget, a movie that doesn't need a sequel, a movie that has all the outrage that happened when the exorcist was first released at cinemas.

does anyone agree with me, that a film would be worth watching when the opening titles come up and start with....


A Raimi/Carpenter/Craven/Argento/Romero/Cunningham/Yu/Hooper/Savini Film

now who agrees that this would be a kick ass scary film??

I don't like fan fiction.

Huh???

Nice idea, but not necessarily bound to produce a kick-ass horror film.

In fact, given the downword creative spiral of most of those directors in recent years, the results would probably be dire.

The film you are looking for has been and gone in The Blair Witch Project - this (relatively) new experience is not grasped by all, but is the only Western horror movie in the last 20 years to make many jaded fans really sit up and listen.

I think a lot of the impact made by most horror movies is lost as you get older - when you're young enought to think there actually COULD be a horrible floating vampire in that fog outside your window, that's when you enjoy 'em the most.

When you're past your teens, you're more cynical and tend to just pontificate a load of shit about horror and become more obsessed with the thrills & spills instead of the creepy suggestion that used to get under your skin.

fan fiction. make your own story.


Ain't gonna happen

I try and get my fix as best I can by watching lesser known horror films, such as Ginger Snaps or Bubba Ho-Tep. They don't necessarily break too much new ground but the stories are entertaining and original.

As far as beign scared shitless, same with me, really hasn't happened since I was a kid. The trend of japanese horror films getting english versions is good though, it will prompt filmakers to wake up one of these days and get some great movies made stateside.

i see sam has been reading the dictionary again, looking for all those big grown up words he can use to put a NooB down, keep working at it buddy, you will get there in the end and gorephobia has the same vocabulary, remember guys, one day you will be real boys.

i know the concept of all those directors getting together and making a movie will never happen, it was just a "what if" statement.

as far as the comment "fan fiction, make your own story" by mr Hutchison, i do plan to, but this is my first book i'm trying to write and i am just trying to write something small to start with, i do have some fresh ideas, but i just wanna see how this book goes before i decide on how to create a new story, plus, fan fiction is how sequels are written.

oh, and i would like to thank EXTR3MIST and Fred Krueger for their comments, so far they seem to be the only ones to have actually read what i had posted and took time to answer it properly, and no i'm not being a NooB who can't take put downs by others, but when it does come to put downs think of something new instead of "fuck you" or "double fuck you", cuz they do tend to get a little boring when they seem to appear in every other thread posted by people, to be honest, it's the kind of put down i would expect a NooB to say.

plus i appreciate what Mr Hutchinson had to say, and understand where he was coming from.

Triple fuck you.
