Thought of the day

Posted on April 19, 2011 by Michael

Why are horror movies always so terrible? It isn’t like there is another genre which is this consistently bad.

Granted I just watched a Paranormal Activity ripoff, but the point still stands.

    Martyrs = not terrible.

    …and yet you continue to view them. I stopped watching horror movies when I was 12.

    I remember once, as a teenager, forcing myself to stay awake to watch a 12:30 a.m. showing of some obscure horror flick. This was ca. 1968, on NTSC

    CONTINUING… antenna TV. My folks had already gone to bed, and I could hear my dad snoring through two closed doors. Finally the movie for which I had been waiting was coming on, and I remember seeing the opening credits. Then I thought to myself, “Hmm. The opening credits are running a bit long.” Turns out, I was now watching the _closing_ credits. I’d totally zoned out for the entire movie. Man, I was pissed. Since then, I’ve pulled this stunt about 3 times more.

    Sorry for the double-post. Somehow pressing Enter to put in a blank line (which now works) forced the posting of the partial comment. Weird.
