Sex and Horror does it mix well??

I think maybe it will work in a horror flick if it is used with discretion.

I mean, its ok to have a bit in it, but if it turns into a sick porno movie, I don't think It would be that great then would it?

I agree on one thing though, a teen slasher movie should have it no questions asked simply because DUH! ITS A TEEN MOVIE!

Think of all the hormones that are flowing through a hyped up 17 year old?

I mean crap man, its just natrual.

But, then, seeing some naked chick get her gut slashed too pieces while some zombie flosses his teeth with her guts never gets old...

Ok, so I need more info to uphold an intelegint argument...is that so wrong?

Very interesting debate. Subject too. In my opinion everything depends on what director will show that problem. I saw some horror-movies contain sex and I think it was not very well. Sex in the movies will increase interest and make a profit. People who work in the showbizz know about it.
Sumamrizing. Horror movie do not need sex. If you want sex on the screen you must watch porno-movies.

Now Sex is a kind of horror feelings
think
1. It is different everytime if done right
2. you do not know how it will feel because you are totally exposed to any kind of demented ideas that your partner may have

so I say yes they go great together

It seems like sometimes with recent horror movies that they start off with a wicked good idea, then the studio people start taming it down, cutting out anything they think will offend (sex, gore, whatever) so they can make the movie appeal to the most people possible - and make the most money possible.

I'm all for movies making money - especially horror movies - but I can't help but feel like something important gets lost when studios try to make horror movies appeal to the same people as "Finding Nemo". Horror's supposed to be scary and edgy and shocking. Sucks when they turn it all bland.

they mix if the movie can be good about it and not have a sex scene every 5 scenes

sex should only be in slasher films and porno-flicks of course.

I think if sex is used probably then it definately works and adds to the story, tension and horror.

Youjust have to look at "The last house on the left" and "Strawdogs"

Both of these films atmosphere are made from the sexual scenes and it works very well

Straw Dogs really gets under my skin (like Misery and Lord of the Flies). That's one film that pisses me off. Movies like that are rare.

hell yeah, i think that slasher flicks should always have sex in them because that makes the story seem real. What else do teenagers do besides have sex, put a killer in with that and you have a slasher movie.

Also I've found that a lot of movies having to do with the Devil are sex filled. Half of the movie is an orgy!

Not that that's exactly a bad thing....

But I just recently watched some Faust movie on SciFi and my mom walks in while I'm watching this thing on her wonderful 65in HDTV and it's right at some grossly overexaggerated orgy scene andmymom was just like "what the fuck? I thought you said you were watching a horror movie..." It took a while to explain that one - she's Korean and has a REALLY thick accent and understands me about as well as I understand her. 22 years knowing her and I still smile and nod through most convos.
