Another silly poll

[howeird]

I'm watching the SciFi HD channel, which Comcast finally got around to putt8ing on my channel line-up, and most of the ads for films are horror genre. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I don't get the thing about enjoying being scared spitless. Hence this very tangential poll.

I definitely make a distinction between Horror and Slasher. I suppose my Horror is most other peoples' Suspense. But I think of Suspense as never having anything but human involvement.

Halloween was the last Slasher movie I enjoyed at all.

And yeah, it's the roller coaster effect! I'd ride them all day long if I wasn't so tall (can't fit my legs in anymore).

IMHO horror is anything aimed at horrifying the viewer. Slasher movies are a subset, as are zombie movies and The Trouble With Tribbles. :-)

You can still ride Top Gun, can't you?
