And my friends - well, they've only recently decided that they might be into horror. So a rather mixed bunch and trying to appeal to their tastes is going to be hard.
I'm thinking that they're expecting something that's going to be somewhat frightening, otherwise I'd have just sat them down and stuck on something with Vincent Price or Boris Karloff, but I don't think they'd really appreciate plastic bats on strings. But oh well, I can always work them up to that kind of stuff.

Anyway. I'm rambling. Thanks again everyone. I'll let you all know how things turn out.
Personally, visual horror is good, but I prefer the thinking kind of horror and I love films with intricate plots in horror or elsewhere. Good luck with your friends. If they can't tolerate violence, then they will have a hard time getting into horror, since the vast majority are violent, at least to some degree. Hopefully, as you said, you can work them up to it.
