Sex and Horror does it mix well??

yeah this is very true... this is not a movie but a DVD that a band called Necrophagia put out called "Through eyes of the dead I see" ..?? sex sex sex sex, murder, murder, blood, gore, gore, and more sex... :D

Snuff, violent rapes, sick necrophilia, and bestiality are not things I was to see. They are the only types of horror I really hate (cheap digitally shot horror w/ lame effects, best friends for actors, and cool DVD covers to trick you are my second most hated).

Mild sex scenes in slashers like Friday or Halloween etc. are cool and an expected part of the genre.

totally. In fact, they mix more than just sex being in a horror movie. I wanna see vampires getting gang-raped by zombies! I want Sadako coming out of a TV that was playing porno, which compells her not to kill, but to do a DVDA scene. Decapitated heads going into assholes! I'm not making any cheap werewolf/doggy style jokes!

Wait...is there something sex DOESN'T mix well with? Sex is a staple of this genre, all the way back to its origins in lurid Gothic novels of the late 18th century. Even in early Hollywood back before boobs could be bared, the climatic scene of an horror movie and the poster art almost always had a young woman either being stalked or carried by a monster. Ah...and think about all those damsels asleep in their nighties with their long hair dangling while cradled in the arms of the monster...did you ever wonder just what exactly was the monster's intention? Did Kharis the mummy have something for Ananka lurking in those bandages? Did Larry Talbot, The Wolfman, have something buried in the fur? Hmmm?

The fear of premarital sex both titilates and drives the plot in slasher movies. The midwestern kids these movies are aimed at have been so drilled into believeing by parents, preachers, etc. that teen sex (and, to a lesser extent, drinking) is morally wrong, that the slasher alomst operates in the subconsious as an avenger of moral wrongs. He's the personification of that pang of guilt you felt the first time you drank a beer without telling the folks, felt someone up (or let someone feel you up), or said the F word.

Plus, as Jim Wynorsky said, naked women are the cheapest special effect. And besides, I like boobs a lot. Sue me.

Why such a fascination with boobs? I have boobs and they're not THAT nifty. Even guys w/boobs are obsessed with boobs. WTF?

[starseed]

For the first years of a man's life, their only obsession and source of life is their mother's breast. Males are often comforted by female energy too, which the breast can also represent. I'm sure a psychiatrist can offer many other examples, but those are not only reasons I'm sure.

Now why someone wants to make a horror movie with someone biting off a nipple is a little harder to answer. See "Castle Freak", a great horror movie - one of my favorites, but that scene is sick (not to mention the pussy eating scene - barf). I don't know how a woman could watch that scene. It would be like me watching someone chewing off a guy's dick. :confused: (OK - I got sick from just writing that.) Maybe that's not that hard to answer - it's horror and that is horrifying.

well in a sence it does work cause sex leads to an adrenlyn rush and that leads to suspense and that leads to well now that i think aboot it, it would probally lead to more sex! i guess sex and movies dont really mix but hey watever works for ya! ;)

[meetthecreeper]

I think that sex in any film is OK as long as it adds to the story or has something to do with the storyline, to add tension, suspense or whatever. I think some films have sex in it just to keep you interested becasue the storyline is going nowhere.

Does sex in horror movies blend together well? Depends on how you use it...



Hehehe.

Now that's what I call a climax!

Ba dum ching!
