Why are 99.98% of Horror movies not scary

[iBrowse]

Because subject matter that would actually have folks shook would be too controversial for enterainment IMO

Like that thread someone made a week or so ago about how global warming is causing the release of viruses that date back millennia and how in 6 decades or more the planet will begin its endgame.

I'm grown and the original Black and White "The Exorcist" still scares me.

the Exorcist curse scares me. the fact that a lot of people (in real life) actually died or injured in some way that were associated with the making of this movie. Same with Poltergiest.

Because once you reach a certain age you realize that shyt is not real or even possible in the slightest.

you do realize that a lot of horror movies and horror movie ideas, were based on actual events that happened in real life or true stories (they just add more drama to it). (Texas Chainsaw Massacre - based on a serial killer in Australia, Nightmare on Elm Street - based on a town in China, kids were dying in their sleep, The Exorcist, The Exorcism of Molly or Emily (or whatever that white girl's name was) Child's Play and Annabelle are based on the haunted Raggedy ann doll, The Amityville Horror.. etc etc).

the game Silent Hill P.T. had me fukking shook and I was only watching gameplay

I haven't played that one but the original Silent Hill on PS1 was the scariest game I ever played. The shytty graphics made it even more scarier since everything was covered in fog. You never knew if something was in front of you until it was literally 3 feet away.

We've seen it all imo. Get Out did scare me tho because weird levels of racism exist.

Well at least, the 2nd game had a way of shakin me. Something was about to pop off and I'm cuttin off the console.

Saw the movie opening day and it was entertaining. That' all you can really ask for with films of this genre.

70s & 80s horror films

 

[Bawon Samedi]

They're nothing but sex, gore and shock value.
