Horror Movies, boo! Options

[Katie]

Who doesn't love them? I used to be hesitant to watch horror flicks, but now I can't stop. Not new ones, though. The whole "jump-out" scaring thing is so stupid and unsatisfying, but the good old fashioned Stephen King's or Hitchcock's and others are really great. In fact, I'm in the middle of Misery and finished Christine this afternoon. Misery is much better. :D

So, what's y'all's opinion on horror movies? Like them, or can't bear to watch them? Are the new ones getting too cliché and dumb? Or does the monster popping out from behind a corner get you amped?

Discuss! ;]

Yeah, after watching One Missed Call and When A Stranger Calls, I've been turned off of newer "horror" movies. Can they even be put in that category anymore? It's like they try too hard. The originals are great. <3

Just finished Misery, and I must say, another good one by Stephen, but less scary, more gore/insanity. I still need to see the good The Shining, though. "It" was just lame, though. Didn't like that one. And The Birds was just too funny to not laugh at. Silly Tippi Hedren(sp?). Can't say I have a favorite, though.
