I used to love horror movies when I was a kid and young adult.

Now I don't. Of course they've gotten much gorier than they were when I was younger (1960's-70's).

I used to like war movies a lot, too, but then 9/11 ruined that--Hollywood changed their outlook on war to present war movies more jingo-istically (nice word :-) ).

Anyway, I can't take gore in the movies like I used to. Does anybody else feel this way?

1. sort of...

I've been picking up some weird old sci-fi and horror dvds, mostly from the 50's and 60's. They put like 3 movies on one disk and sell them as "Horror Classics" or something. They're goofy as hell, but I enjoy them a lot more than the stuff that's put out now.

4. I like those too. As you say, they're goofy, but I like them. nt

2. I like older horror movies, both the very suspenseful kind, and the

teen horror flicks of the 70s and 80s.

I also like cheesy 50s and 60s horror movies, like The Blob.

I can watch war movies if they are older movies about WWI or WWII.

3. "cheesy 50s and 60s horror movies, like The Blob."

Me too--they're sort of campy.

I watched THE SCREAMING SKULL recently for the second time. First time, I was a teenager and it was late Saturday night TV.

It was hard to believe it scared me silly back then.

5. I like thriller horror movies, but anyone who likes slasher films...

hasn't seen enough dead bodies in real life. I did the cops beat for a newspaper for a while, and lost my taste for slasher films almost overnight. I still like thriller-type horror films, though, like Silence of the Lambs.

6. I hate horror movies

I hate to see people suffering, real or simulated....I don't want to see it
