Thanks, Rod... I've seen Tetsuo, 50-Ft Woman, and Shrinking Man, so I think I'm starting to understand the sub-genre.

17. Comic/ Dark Humor/ Cheesy
18. Sci-Fi Horror
19. Weird Pulp (Body Horror under this...maybe?)
20. Redneck/ Cannibalism
Looks like a pretty good categorisation. If all are satisfied, we can proceed to the next stage. If not, bring your views forward.

That's pretty good, V... Could I just make a wee suggestion? Along with Fortunado, I think that a brief description would definitely be necessary (because while I understand your rationale, I know for a FACT that the verbiage and semantics of "genre" is eventually going to drive me mad)... I also think that the sub-sub-genres that have been brought up by other members should be included as sub-bullet-points (to be clear, for example that "Torture Porn" is under "Human Atrocity," and "Infection" is under "Zombies," and etc).
