A Question for you Guys and Gals

[Femme_Fatale]

Firstly girls: have you encountered anyone who thinks it is weird that u are a horror fan?
cos i certainly have, people are shocked when i tell them that some of my fave movies are Evil Dead and The Brood! I think people think i should be really girly, cos im 5'3, blond and i look a bit barbie-esque....lol

And now for the guys: what do you think of us horror lovin girls? do you think its a good thing that more women are into these movies, or are you annoyed that we are changing the horror target audience?

im just really curious, give me some oppinions!

[fllatt]

femme: hmmm...lemme see. 5'3, blond, looks like a barbie doll, AND a horror fan! Me thinks I'm in love. /ubb/smile.gif

[Femme_Fatale]

lol. really helpful Fllat

[Shifra]

I think it's great. It's good that girls love horror movies loaded with gore and shit and not some kind of BSB clips.

[fllatt]

I agree, usually you find most girls go see or watch horror movies because their boyfriends/friends drag them to it. It's kinda like the Jada Pinkett character in Scream 2. It's nice to know there are upstanding young women like femme with outstanding morals who would appreciate the fine aspect of a horror movie when I bring it to her house every Saturday night for our weekly date. /ubb/smile.gif

What's your favorite scary movie Fatale?

[Femme_Fatale]

Showgirls.....lol

hmm..good question, i have a few- at the moment im loving 'The Brood' Cronenberg at his finest- one scary movie!!!!

whats yours?

[Mike]

I also think it's great that girls like horror movies. I could never picture myself dating a girl that didn't like horror movies, because I love em'... I'd want her to share the same interests as I do and the movie thing actually is a big thing to me. If we didn't like the same types of movies it would be hard when we went to the theater or video store because we'd be arguing about what to rent or what to see. I love horror movies and I won't date someone that doesn't at least enjoy them somewhat... It's really GREAT when girls like horror movies...

[*veers*]

Man, a girl that knows her horror? I have yet to meet such a species in the flesh. But it kicks ass to know that you are out there somewhere.

[kerryanne]

My husband thinks I am weird for watching horror, but then again this is a man who rents Universal Soldier 2 and expects it to be good. (I think he just likes to see things get destroyed)He absolutely hates horror, but he will watch them with me, as long as they are newer releases. Alot of the time though, I go towards the 70-80's horror. Thats what is so great about having 5 tv's. He can watch his tacky ass action movies downstairs, and I can watch my horror upstairs,in a big comfortable bed...and hide under the covers. But, once and while he will give in and watch an older one with me. I still have yet to get him to see the Exorcist...I think it scares him. /ubb/smile.gif

[fllatt]

Femme: The Brood is one scary movie. I like that movie A LOT, but my fav has been and probably will be The Thing (Carpenters). That movie was the first time I put a pillow over my face because I didn't want to see what was happening. I saw it with my father and he took the pillow away from me and I just remember having the living pooh scared outta me.

[Dehydrator]

Horror-lovin' Girls are cool! But they are HARD to find! /ubb/frown.gif

[loner]

Horror-loving girls are very cool. But they're kind of like ghosts or Bigfoot. Do they really exist????????

[Mike]

Girls that love horror movies aren't that hard to find. I'm sorrounded by a ton of them... Most of the girls I know are horror fans...

[fllatt]

geez mike, either send them my way, or I'm gonna go and live with femme. where ya from bro?

[Mike]

I'm from Minnesota...
It's not as bad as it sounds, we don't act anything like the people in Minnesota movies. We don't sound like they talked in Drop Dead Gorgeous or Fargo. We aren't even all rednecks... Anyway, I only know a couple girls in my life that don't like horror movies, well, actually I only know one. All of the other girls I know love horror movies... It's just hard to believe it would be hard to find one because here it would be hard not to find one. I could see maybe a long time ago where it would be hard to find a girl that liked horror movies but not anymore...

[fllatt]

hmm...minnesota isn't sounding so bad after all.

[loner]

Mike: A friend once told me that he never saw as many beautiful women in one place as he did one time at the Mall of America. Now you're saying they like horror movies too. It's time for me to move to the midwest.

[Hypnotic Eye]

Hmm.. Minnestoa doesn't sound half bad...

[Lannay]

I get people who say stuff to me like " you gotta watch this movie you will get sick and won't be able to finish it." Yeah right i like gore and it doesn't bother me. Then they say i am lieing cause i wasn't scared. But hey i wasn't so what.

[Snert]

I think its great...I just don't want any posts about NSYNC...

[Skaboy18]

I would love to actually find a girl that likes horror films as much as I do. Last girl that I dated that liked horror thought that Scream 3 was the best film in the world. LOL
That didn't last very long. /ubb/smile.gif

[!MorganOnyx!]

Where i'm from girls who like horror movies are THE HARDEST TO FIND. The few i do know are just my friends, and more to say, are quite ugly! I'm not shallow i'm just looking for a pretty girl who has a sense of humour, never lets herself slide when we go out, and likes horror films.
Recently, whilst hanging with the last two girls i have been with, i took advantage of the situations, and made them watch PHANTASM to see if they liked it. The first said it was crap. "God! This is soooo shit! Turn it off!" And the second moaned so much i HAD to turn it off. I then stuck FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 4 on and she thought that sucked too! I'm no longer with the first girl - it lasted about 2 days after that, and the second girl is still calling me, but i don't think we have much in common so i ignore most of her calls. I'm only keeping her on the scene cos i haven't screwed her yet.

[!MorganOnyx!]

Yo FEMME - you sound HOT! Any chance of sending a picture to ARROW so he can put it up on his page?!

[Gore 4 All]

As far as the female persuasion from where I am from, I can say that no one particuraly likes horror movies aside from the 90's slashers like Scream and IKWYDLS. I worked at a movie theater and used to take notes about what type of people saw what movies. I was quite depressed that not many women wanted to see the horror movies I considered to be good. I try to get more people to enjoy a good horror movie every now and then and sometimes succeed but I more or less just end up freaking out a really nice girl. "What, you didn't like it when he ripped out his intestines?? That was the best part. C'mon, you are going to miss the decapitation. Where are you going?? Dammit!!" Maybe next time I'll just rent Titantic.

[Femme_Fatale]

haha, i dont think so Morgan- dont think my boyfriend would approve of me showing myself off to the rest of the world /ubb/wink.gif

but i dont know, i am really curious about what all you guys look like, could start a new section.....

[unicorn207]

I think women should enjoy watching these movies for fun while sitting on the edge of their seat wondering what's next. However, the down side to this is that with Billy Loomis(a spoof) and Norman Bates characters becoming more and more popular in teen films women are increasingly becoming scared of acting like traditional trustworthy women and become defensive, cold-blooded, repressed, men wannabees.

You're not changing the target audience because I believe that women really want to feel sexy and desirable and that by a year or two we won't feel as though these films have ever changed a bit. But that doesn't mean that women don't want to see a strong babe in the lead. So do guys!

[TomJ]

Hot girls that get into brutal, gory horror
films? I think it's TOTALLY cool. What I can
NOT stand are the prissy type that actually
LECTURE you like a mother would! My mom can't
stand em, and she thinks I'm sick! LOL! It
makes me laugh. Even one of my friends that
moved to Tennessee thinks I'm sick because
although she likes horror films she doesn't
"like that sick fuckin' shit" I like. Horror
girls are rarer than people think. I don't
mean Scream, or IKWYDLS, I mean, Evil Dead,
Exorcist, Fulchi films. Those are the kind
of girls that are really hard to find! LOL!
Tom J.

[teenkiller]

I think its great. I only have one female friend that actually likes horror movies. She sorta surprised me when she said that she really liked my Dream Warriors shirt. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

[skweemkween]

Wow, I feel sooo deprived having missed this great conversation LAST year. Damn, wish I could have talked to femme. OH well...

And to all you guys out there, be careful what you wish for. The last guy I dated? I was his perfect match, horror movies, wrestling, movie-making, music, etc. His parents said so, his best friends, everyone.

Then, he got freaked out and dumped me. Why? Couldn't handle an adult relationship and the fact that we were so much alike. I was his first, repeat first girlfriend. So , he
REALLY had some issues. (Still does from what I hear.) Point is, don't take for granted that horror-lovin' gal once you get her. You do your best to keep that relationship intact, providing she is a decent person and treat you right. We are a rare , and worthwile breed.


And for all those wondering, I'm a brunette femme fatale (always get called Lilith from Cheers or Elaine from Seinfeld.) http://www.joblo.com/ubb/wink.gif

[Kaos]

Well, I thought I had a good catch. We both loved horror, wrestling, books, misc. other stuff. She dumped me last night 'cause she said we were getting too serious (we've been dating 3 years), and that she wasn't ready for committment. The moral here, is if you can find a good horror-loving woman (sounds like a country song) hold on for long as you can, 'cause you never know when it might end. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/frown.gif

[skweemkween]

Oh Kaos honey I'm soooooo sorry! I can't believe that! She sounds really confused. God, you have my condolensces. You will be strong and move on and be better than ever before.
And hey, if that is how she views committment, she was holding you down. You can do better. Trust me, I have been there.
There's an even better babe waiting in the wings.

[Kaos]

Thanks skweemkween. Right now that means quite alot to me. No sarcasm or joking, just thanks for being there. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif

Don't you find that the darkside is like a suductive temptress.
When I think of horror I think of it as an ever surrounding mistress.
She is not dominated or controled she is inteligent and cruel and she will frightend the hue out of your skin.
You see my taste in women are gothic dark hair dark lip stick dark intentions.
So girls and horror mix light and dark we need the light but we also need the dark(more so for me and many of the rest of you).

Hey no need for that use that dark glint in your eye that all goth girls possess.
Believe me it turns you into an all powerfull

You could be my perfect goth girl but alias that is something we will never know (sigh).

Geez, is this a horror related thread or a place for people to hook up? LOL.

Corpse Candle... sorry but skweemkween is mine. She already asked me to marry her a few weeks ago. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/wink.gif

Kaos... I've been there before my friend. Rest assured that there are many others out there feeling the exact same way as you, and it does, eventually, get better.

You just gotta wait it out. It isn't easy, but just keep going and know it can only go up.

Y'know i'm not sure perhaps the use of MAGIK who knows.
Then again it wouldn't be very intresting if I gave all my secrets away a magacian with no mystery is just a man with too many white rabbits.

Ahhhh a sneaky-sneakerton, I see!

[1of_freddys_kids]

I personally love horror lovin ladies. But, if they try too hard to be "horror" like all black and looking like they haven't left the house in 6 years, I don't like that. I think it's cool as hell when a girl who don't expect to be into horror to be able to carry a conversation with me for like a half hour or more. yeah, good times.

[psycho path]

Wheres Femme these days anyway?

[skweemkween]

She probably got sick of everyone drooling on her posts. (Kidding)

Would like to know myself. If you think you males feel alone in your interests, try wanting to converse with alike females to girlfriend it out on a Fri. or Sat. evening and they have no idea what movies you are talking about. I am in search of the sister I never had. Oh where art thou?

Lament, Lament.

[Mr_Cheese]

The shitty thing is my girlfriend has never really been into horror flicks but she would humour me... Then last summer her brother committed suicide and since then if there is too much blood she will no longer watch it... As for changing horror flicks to fit the 'female demographic' I don't think that is what is happening... I think what is happening is they are changing horror flicks to fit the 'teen demographic' trying to capatilize on the success of the American Pies and other god awful flicks...

As for having a girlfriend who is into horror, it doesn't quite matter to me... It would be cool but she has to take me for who I am... As for her, she must realize that I don't watch chick flicks or movies with Billy Crystal.

DAWN OF THE DEAD IS THE BEST ALL TIME!

[Dark Minister]

Personally, I love it when a woman loves horror films. I think it shows her intelligence, personality, and good taste. As a matter of fact, that is one of the things that I look for in a woman! If a woman knows who the fuck Jason Vorhees is, I am already in love with her http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif and hey, for the girls out there who love the horror genre and are ridiculed becuase of it...fuck em! The people who are calling you weird obvisouly have little or no self esteem, so I say fuck em, don;t worry about it, just let them go watch some shitty Ben Affeck or Julia Roberts movie and don;t worry what they think! Amen! (Ok, off my soap box now)

[Dark Minister]

Oh, and Kaos, sorry about your relationship ending. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/frown.gif I went throught the exact same thing, we were engaged, happy as fuck, blah blah blah, and after about 3 and 1/2 years this solider comes along who eats steriods by the handful, has no neck, and fucks every woman he can, and I get dumped by her for this ass clown (On Halloween, I might add)
*sniff* sorry, got into my sob story and got away from what I was trying to say...

Anyway, Kaos, just hang in there man, things will get better http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif

[APzombie]

I have been madly in love with a girl for over a year now, im good friends with her but never went as far as to go to the next step up in fear that it wouldn't be in my favor (ok, so im scared shitless...). She is not to down with horror movies, but that doesent mean she wont watch them, i loan her some classics and she is so-so with them, im trying to get her more into movies in general... what the hell!?! Im getting off the subject, my bad.

[A.J. Hakari]

Coming from a guy, I think it's groovy gals are into horror. Nothing says romance like settling down for a nice evening with a lovely lady and THE OMEN on DVD. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif Don Juan I'm not, but I try my best.

Thanks dude. BTW if you makes ya feel any better, I'm a soldier. So you might say that the other guys karma caught up with ME! Now if you'll excuse me there's a bottle of Jack callin me.

[HalloweenShape31]

I feel alot like George Costanza felt in that one episode of Seinfeld. I feel like I am totally out of conversation, except the only thing he could talk about was sports, for me, it's films, mostly horror.

I would love a girlfriend that was into horror films as much as me, who loves watching them, reading them and writing them. Wouldn't make me fear her thinking I'm too weird and she would want to dump me. Any 16-year-old horror loving girls around that would like to chat?

</font>

Hmmm....REALLY? I`m beginning to think Corpse Candle and Dark_One may have more competition then!
Unless...of course.....something awful should happen to them and they dissapeared....


Anyways, I`ve had a few long-term relationships.....which always ended rather badly. None of them particulary liked horror, but they`d watch them with me. Right now I`ve been single for a while and I have an eight-month-old baby boy. Of course I`m not with his mother anymore (we have joint custody). It`s a little depressing raising him without a mother around, but he`s an awesome little guy and trust me he`ll be seeing lots of horror movies in the future!

And just to concur with what a few of you guys have said, usually when two people are TOO MUCH alike, it just doesn`t work.

[James_Sully_Sullivan]

As a guy, I have to say that I LOVE the idea of girls liking scary movies!
its always fun to talk to a girl about how scary or gory the movie was...
All the girls in this forum:
I LOVE YOU!!!

[Rich]

I think its great that girls can be horror fans...Only one of my friends who are girls are into horror..so i am closer to her then any of my other friends

[Corpse Candle]

Only thing is is that one girl who is into horror in my group of friends keeps on and on about how she would like to make a home made horror film.
Then when I attempet to arrange everything she cowers away grrrr...
Sometimes horror loving girls are a mirage of deception you just have to stand back to see throgth it.

[skweemkween]

JamesSullySullivan: WE love you,too!

CorpseCandle: Too bad about the girl backing out. Trust me, if I had the finances I would do it. So if you are rich, or anyone out there won the lottery, send all contributions to the Skweemkween Horror Film Fund.


As for the relationship thing. I really ,begrudgingly, agree with what someone said about people being too much alike. Sadly, Alley McBeal and myself are finding that out this year (Ok,so I watch Ally Mcbeal, hate me, I still rock). It's really tough to admit that and realize that, sometimes, if you are too much alike, it might not work.

Then again the relationship I am referring to , while we were almost exactly alike, he had the emotional intelligence of spam so........

Yeah it could be worse corpse. People all the time say I look like Ben Afflick. Then they get surprised when I take it as sort of an insult. It had to be one out of the 3 actors I can't stand. Why can't I be like vincent price http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif.

Well ELGYN and BOWIEE it sounds like we are from that school of female hard knocks.
However we all will find that horror loving,gothic looking,dominating lady (or whatever your into) that is buried deep in our hearts.

Ah, all this talk of love and such reminds me that I am alone 99% of the time.

A hot girl loving horror makes her twice as hot she already is!

I mean, it's cool to know that there are gals who love horror as much as we guys do. My ex liked slashers like Halloween and Scream, but she wasn't into anything like Fulci or Argento like me. &lt;sigh&gt; It's hard to find the perfect girl.
