Ok, Where to begin. I think horror films have their stand and they are doing very well these days with films like the Scream Trilogy, Nightmare on Elm Street etc. Then there are the older ones that have there place on the classics shelf but still pack a punch for the special effect limitations of that era they were made in such as the HellBound trilogy.

Since I was around ten years old I have not needed a lot of sleep and at that age I was up till 12pm watching films, which was odd for that age to be up past 8:30. I always managed to go to my room and channel flick for a few mins and find a decent film to watch or just something for the smeg of it.

My favorite films are the Action, Thriller and Si-Fi but I have a slight problem with horror films in that from that age watching things like HellRaiser, 2, 3 and Screams caused a slight problem. After I start watching a horror film I find that there is normally so mush plot involved that I can’t turn them off. As I’m sure you can imagine an 18-age limit film (set four a reason) for a kid of 10 in his bedroom, every light off in the house brother and parents in bed is not a particularly good combination. So there is lil-ol-me in bed, pillow at the ready with the bedside light switch close to hand! When I was watching these films we had pets and if the music suddenly stops and dies down just for those few seconds before a brutal murdering, decapitation of a head or something like that (you get the gist) you then hear a bump or something moving downstairs and this doesn’t help or do a lot of good four you either. Boom the Light Goes On, Pillow Up, Blood Gushing everywhere bumps Screams, and All hell breaks loose. Then you get the freaking water pipes just doing them dam hardest to finish absolutely scaring the stuffing out of you with the hissing and whining noises. Then if that wasn’t enough you get the Thunder, Lightning and howling gales. Phew!

If the film industry at cinemas put this load together they would need to enlist in a standard issue list for emergencies. Just dedicate a single screen cinema of out the Multi-screen cinemas to the Horror Films Experience. Including Hydraulic rocking seats and other stuff you would have the cinemas full of people wanting to experience this new media (scaring the pap outa you). If not for the media go for the hell of a film beating the rides at Alton Towers like Nemesis and the Oblivion (no comparison to that lethal does of spooky stuff above) and of course having the stuffing scared out of them.

Emergency List

1 Run
2 Throw Up
3 Call Stewardess for emergency isle removal
4 Scream
5 Grab Hold Of Nearest Person And Hide Behind
6 Take In Newspaper
7 One Sick Bag Full Turn to nearest popcorn box.
8 Don’t Comeback!
9 Tell your Friends How Unsacarey It Was And Make Em Go For A Laugh, (Make Excuse Not To Go Again, i.e. your cleaning your car or your putting your books in alphabetical order…. Yea That’s Right..humm)

Summing up that all films have their place it’s just the person that either doesn’t have the stomach or just cant stand the type of film. Ps we know it’s the week stomach to you out there, but unfortunately four you there have to be people taking the Mickey otherwise who would do it! You?

C’ya And don’t stop scaring your self

MoHAHAH (dam it’s hard to write those sounds down)

By far the best horror film i have ever seen is 'Halloween'. It is truly scary. If you like movies with gore and movies that stop you from sleeping, this is the one.

Michael Myers what a name, it might only be a name but what a great name it is for a kill crazy lunatic. He just walks around his home town in a spooky white mask, and he doesn't even get noticed. This is too strange, but what do you expect for an amazing horror movie. The best parts of the film are when there is a flash of lightning, and then out of nowere, Michael Myers is stalking his next victim. The one thing I really would like to know, is why does Michael Myers want to kill all his related family. They did nothing wrong, Myers may be a sycho but whats the point in going to great lenghths to find lost relatives and then kill them.

I also dont understand why Myers is stronger than a bear, he can pick people up with one hand and then through them to the other side of the room. He is also one of the biggest murderers of all time. Another great thing about the film is the character Michael Myers is, he walks up to his victims from behind and stabs them with a kitchen knife. Every time a person is killed by Myers they are never expecting it. This is what scares the audience when watching the film.

Even though the film may seem strange it is still the best horror of all time. The sequals are a big help in understanding the first Halloween. They help you to understand what a twisted person Michael Myers is, and how mad and powerful he is.

Believe it or not, there is still to be another sequal for Halloween, I have no idea what it will be about, but I found this out when looking on the official Halloween website. I recomend buying this movie, it is now avalable on DVD and VHS.

Scream was good probably because it was so different but scream 2 and 3 are a joke if they're supposed to be "horror" films.
