As far as westerns go, I think the reason westerns died out is that they're very era-specific. Suburban kids today don't get into the whole cowboy thing. Science fiction & fantasy, I think, fills the space for our generation that the whole western thing did for our grandparents. Horror isn't as specific a genre as westerns. Horror's all about scary stuff. This means that the subjects of horror movies change as what people think is scary changes...but since people (being people) will always be scared of somethin, there will always be horror. Thankfully. :D

Absolute agreement here! Even hundreds of years from now there will be something that people will be afraid of. Even if it's not all blood and gore like we like now. Fear is what makes horror horror! That's why I pray for more fear driven movies. They need to cut back on the language and cut out the sex, just scare the p*ss out of me and I'm happy.

Yeah, totally. I've never been scared by bug horror movies. Big spiders, slugs, earthworms - they've always been more silly to me than scary...but I know people who are scared shitless by that stuff. To each his own.

horror will never die :)
in my opinion on the subject, horro will never die. I mean u have to have an open mind if you are true horror fan there are so many different fields of horror out there, bugs ,birds, Slashers,MEntal ,hell satanic. I mean i have seen as many horror movies in my life time I love them all even the one's who suck becuase someone made an effort. I love the corny ones too like pumkin head,chucky,even the 80's ones like slumber party massacre and even the original phyco nothing like it so i say screw the person who wrote this article. Fear will always be apart of peoples lifes, and if thats the case it will always be intresting to people and there are the freaks out there who decide to make it into a movie, and things like ed gains will be around forever , there will always be weirdo's out there to make movies about ha

so i was trolling around in the HDC archives and ran across this thread and thought it wsa funny that we seem to be in an era when horror has become a bit more popular. sort of on an upswing. with success for films like The Strangers, Quarantine and the influx of foreign directors, etc. it seems like we are in one of the horror upswings that the HDC folks back in 2003 were hoping for.
or are we?? discuss.

I think you're right, Zero... there's always a lot of drek, but as we've said in many similar threads, a lot of interesting horror films have been coming out. Particularly indie and foreign.
Two very well done, scary & creepy movies I've seen this year are Out of the Blue, an indie film from New Zealand and Home Movie. Others will be able to name quite a few great recent horror films as well. Many have said The Mist is the best Stephen King adaptation in a long time.
