I was watching this AMV of the horror movie series Halloween by AJ Johnson:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhDbKN4-ifA. It's really sweet, and I would recommend downloading the high-quality version from his website. Anyway, one of the voice overs during the video is of Dr. Loomis, I think he's like the psychiatrist or some kind of doctor that was in charge of Michael Myer's custody when he was institutionalized or something, and he says, "Why won't he die!?"
This got me to start thinking about all the different types of horror movies out there, especially the ones that scared me as a kid, to name a few, the killer doll from the Child's Play series, Freddy Krueger (his avatar on here is so powerful, definately scarier than the movies) from A Nightmare on Elm Street (though I recently downloaded all of them and watched them, and it doesn't seem so scary now, I don't know why, but I haven't been brave enough to watch all those Child's Play movies yet), and others like those killer puppets in Puppet Master or something.
Do you like watching scary movies? I think the reason I like watching them and being scared or jumped (you know those jump moments where they quickly flash to a scene and throw in a loud sound) is because it gets my heart pumping, or something with adrenaline, I don't know. Do any kinds of movies scare you (the real scary ones, not cheesy B-movies or other stupid spoofs like Scary Movie), if not now, what about when you were a toddler?
And how do you like your horror movies? Do you like them to be realistic? I think the new horror nowadays is the more psychological thrillers and horrors, the ones that could actually happen in real life, opposed to these super-killers that can never die, like Michael Myers in Halloween, and what have you. Sure it's still a scary movie, but it lacks the realism, because there's nothing you can do to kill them, but movies like, I don't know, Silence of the Lambs with Hannibal Lector types, well those people actually exist and you could find yourself in a sticky situation.
I liked Halloween because it had a mixture of both. Michael Myers was a real person, not some fantasy creature or any of that, but he did have superhuman powers, so that did put it off a little. I mean nothing they did could stop him. He's been shot, impaled, blown up, everything, and he keeps coming back. He's still a real person, not a zombie like Jason, so it's kind of hard to believe that he keeps coming back for more and more.
