Urge, I understand where you're coming from. I love gore as much as the next "Gore-hound" but I want a little thing called a plot to go along with it. I want a movie to hold my interest and to enable me to get lost in it, taking me out of reality for 90 or so minutes. A movie (and I use that term loosly) that continuously throws and squirts blood and buckets of guts at you without at least a half-assed desent plot can't take me where I want to go.

I still love movies like Last House on the Left and Don't Look in the Basement, movies that contained plot and depth. But as one who also has collected horror movies since Betas were the rage, I have "matured" abit in what drives my horror "wants." I can no longer handle things such as the dead fetus shots or evil towards children not because I have gotten older, wiser or more sensative, but because I am a 41 year old parent who spent 14 years working in a Maximum Security Prison and have seen the court documents and evidence photos of real-life monsters that done unspeakable crimes towards children, wodering why in the Hell didn't someome just kill and torture these fuckers, instead of allowing them to live at the expense of "us Taxpayers"

I suppose as your life changes, not by age but by life experiences such as Marriage, Divorce, Parenthood, personal trauma, Religious beliefs and the like...our tastes in Horror also changes.
