Introducing people to Horror
So last night I had a long conversation with my friend about what genre of movies we like. The conversation ended in me suggesting a bunch of horror movies that I thought he might like. I told him to look up Argento first and foremost. He Youtubed a few scenes from various movies and fell in love. So I sent him the Giallo trailer, and told him he could borrow Suspiria next time I saw him.
Today when I talked to him, he was listening to songs by Goblin.:D I felt really, really proud to have introduced someone I care about to the movies that I love. Discuss introducing friends to great new things.

Awesome MM, especially because of how niche Argento can be. A lot of people I've gotten into horror still can't get into some of the Italian stuff.

good job MM!
I've found that those who claim they don't like horror simply haven't seen the right kind yet. There's something for everyone in the horror genre; indie art flicks, bug budget effects films, slow-burn thrillers, family dramas, goofy comedies, westerns, war movies, crime flix, religious films, teen, buddy, etc - there's a horror movie for each of these.

I usually start with comedic horror like evil dead and nightmare on elm st and usually goes well.

Nearly all of my friends have picked up a thing or two from m'self and the girl...it's fun, and it helps out to not ALWAYS be the one doing everything, you get other people enthused, and they're like, unpaid labour. Movies...can't remember? Shaun of the Dead I showed to about 8 people after it's uk release, waaay before it came out here, they all quite liked it.

I remember being so enthused by two films I dragged multiple people to see them in the theatre when they first came out. It was the only way to see a movie back then. Every person I treated to these films thought I was off my nut.
Murder By Death and Eraserhead.
