What is your favorite Horror film? The original Dawn of the Dead
Do you feel Horror films are as popular now as they were in the 70s and 80s? Yes imo they are more popular, just look at all the god awful remakes that are topping the box offices.
Do you feel that documentary style films such as The Blair Witch Project (1999) and Cloverfield (2008), are more effective at scaring the audiences as opposed to Studio lit Films such as Saw (2004).
Very much indeed, look at Parnormal Activity, the people who are not avid horror watchers thought it was real just like the blair witch. IMO these types of films are much more realistic, and have better viewing experiences.
5. Do you feel that the lighting in the original 1974 version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was more effective at scaring the audience as opposed to the 2003 remake? Definitely!
6. Do you feel that Horror films in the 70s and 80s were more explicit than today? Yes and No, few film in that period were banned here in the states or other countries. But in today's standards films hardly ever reach that, times change, directors these days want to make viewers grab onto their seat tightly, make their hair stand up, and just plain old gross them out and say "WTF".
7. Do you feel that Horror films still have their place in modern-day society?
Yes, as technology evolves so does our horror films, with the internet and social networking sites, its just a real live horror movie waiting to happen.
8. Do you agree that 90s saw the death of the Horror film and why?
I would say the early 90's yes, then in the late 90's slashers and horror was coming back thanks to Wes Craven and his "Scream" trilogy, from there on you just kept seeing more and more horror films being released every year.
9. Psycho (1960) is one of the most famous Horror films ever made; does it still have an impact on the modern day Horror film?
I don't believe it does.
