Help for a school project: What do you like in your horror flicks?

[A.J. Hakari]

Hey all. I'm doing some research for a project for my Mass Communications class. I'm doing a presentation on horror films over the years, and it'd be a great help if you guys voted for what you like most in a horror film: plenty of blood, guts, and nudity, or atmosphere, suspense, and psychological terror...or both, if that's the case. Just vote for which one fits you most and please provide a couple of movies to represent your choice.

Thanks in advance!

A mixture of both rocks the Casbah.

[fevers]

Both make an entertaining experience.

:D

[X-Nightcrawler]

Psychological bebop mofuggas!

But who can deny boobies so I voted for 'Both'.

[countchocula]

It depends on what mood I'm in, so I went with both.

Blood/Boobs-Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, Humanoids From the Deep, Blood Feast II: All U Can Eat
Suspense/Atmosphere-Black Christmas, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Nosferatu (remake)

Guess I'm in the minority since I'm the only one so far who voted for psychological suspense. If you want T&A, watch Cinemax after 10pm or rent porn.

Psychological, suspense, and atmosphere for me – Psycho (60), Rosemary’s Baby, Repulsion, The Haunting (63), The Legend of Hell House, The Brood, And Soon the Darkness, Carnival of Souls (62), Night Tide, Dementia 13, Chasing Sleep, Session 9, The Others, Dracula (31), Ringu, Jacob’s Ladder, TCM (74), The Shining (80), Black Christmas, Horror Express to name a few.

I like both

[IamNoOne666]

if you mix both well it will turn out to be a great movie.

[Cronos]

a bit of both, i like a lot of gore but also psycological elements

[saintofscars]

I like both. I also like to see something weird that no one's done before, it makes stuff more scary.

Examples? Well, A Nightmare on Elm Street is a good example, as is Hellraiser, Wishmaster, Final Destination. Yep, more weird deaths please...

[pyscho dude]

Well boobs and blood are enteraining but suspense and atmosphere can make for a great experience so I voted for both.

[Boba Joe]

I like a mixture of everything.

[horrorfreak13]

Both

[KillerKlown]

I like a mixture.

[Nightmare_Dreaming]

Wow do I feel awful or what, I am the only one who voted for blood and boobies.

[A.J. Hakari]

Many thanks to the schmoes who participated! I presented my project last month and got some good reception from the class (especially the ones who were interested in knowing what BUBBA HO-TEP was all about). Thanks a bunch!

[LedFloyd]

I said both. I normally lean towards intellectual fare, but blood and boobs rock on late nights.

[Jess]

I'll take anything, just lay off the nudity thank you very much!

[Moviefan1234]

Psychological suspense

[TheJadedGamer]

Blood and boobies, of course.

[Draven2277]

i am much more of a fan of psychological suspense and atmosphere in a horror movie!!
