I do so love doing a questionnaire. Hearing the diverse and intriguing opinions of all of you makes my blogging worthwhile. So today, I present you with a horror movie questionnaire. Below are ten questions pertaining to the spooky genre that I would love to see you answer. There is no pressure to answer if you don’t want to. So here goes:
- What is the first scary movie you recall watching?
- What for you is the scariest movie you have ever seen?
- Which sub-genre of horror is your favourite?( psychological/slasher/ comedy horror are just some to choose from)
- What does a horror movie need for you to enjoy it?
- Are there any horror movies you really detest?
- What is the sexiest scene you have witnessed in a horror movie?
- Who is your favourite antagonist in a horror movie?
- Is there any director that for you symbolizes the best in horror cinema?
- Blood and gore or creepy atmosphere?
- And finally, what do you think so far of my horror coverage this month?

Comedy horror appears to be a popular choice with many people. I don’t mind some of it, but it isn’t my favourite sub-genre. Damien Thorn, I get chills just thinking about that creepy kid. I see you are more a fan of atmosphere than gore. I am partial to some gore, but I hate when it gets too over the top.

Psychological definitely
What does a horror movie need for you to enjoy it?
Boobs 🙂 no, not really but a good atmosphere of creepiness.
Are there any horror movies you really detest?
Ohh good question, probably Amityville 3D, why the fuck did they create that turd.
What is the sexiest scene you have witnessed in a horror movie?
Anything in Species with Natasha Henstridge. Oh my…
My favourite is always Freddie Krueger.
Is there any director that for you symbolizes the best in horror cinema
Carpenter or Romeo, I can’t pick..
Blood and gore or creepy atmosphere

1. Probably Psycho, still one of my absolute faves.

3. I like most horror equally, but I like a silly slasher the most.
4. A good load of scares (obviously), some brilliant gore and a memorable killer.
5. Most modern mainstream horror gets on my tits, so stuff like Insidious and The Conjuring.
6. Woman-on-wolf action in WolfCop, probably the best scene in a shite film.
7. It’s a bit cliche but it’s gotta be Freddy.
8. Cronenberg, probably, Videodrome’s close to a goddamn masterpiece.
9. For scares, a creepy atmosphere, for fun, blood and gore.
10. Pretty damn good, boi.

1. Can’t quite recall what my first horror was, might’ve been Alien or Halloween. But there are some pretty scary moments in all the classic Disneys.
2. Scariest movie I’ve seen is an Austrian horror film from 2014 called Goodnight Mommy. Creepy and atmospheric as hell, I still get shivers.
3. I really like the classic slashers, but for quality, I have to go for psychological.
4. For me, a horror film either has to say something intelligent, have interesting characters, or be big dumb gory fun. Or some combination of the above.
5. The remake of Nightmare on Elm Street; so soulless, so plastic.
6. The opening of Under the Skin. Because Scarlett Johansson.
7. Freddy Krueger. He’s super charismatic and occasionally quite frightening.
8. John Carpenter. Made quite a few classics and never misstepped as often as say Wes Craven or Tobe Hooper.
9. Why not both?

1. We had a VHS of this scary movie called Parents, but I’m not sure whether it was the first scary movie I saw exactly. I found Batman Returns pretty scary, and the heart scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
2. I recently did a bit of research and there was a film that topped a few horror lists, so I decided to watch it. It’s called Martyrs, and it was very disturbing. I also saw another horror film at a festival where the actors were circus performers and porn stars. There were suspension and body modification scenes which were very unnerving because I knew they were real.
3. I have a soft spot for slashers, growing up with Scream, but psychological horrors are a good one too.
4. Definitely an interesting villain, but good characters, an interesting story, a couple of good scares.
5. I can’t remember any. Detest is such a strong word
6. Funnily enough there aren’t any that come to mind.
7. Ghostface
8. Wes Craven, for sure
9. Creepy atmosphere.
10. I’ve been enjoying it. I think I’m inspired to watch a couple of new ones or rewatch some classics.

As a kid , that heart scene in Temple of Doom scared the living day lights out of me. Nice to see a vote for Ghostface, what a great horror villain.

LikeLiked by 1 person
Yeahh! I love a questionnaire!
What is the first scary movie you recall watching? Would ‘The Princess and the Goblin’ (1991) count?
What for you is the scariest movie you have ever seen? See above (heh). The Korean movie ‘I Saw The Devil’ (2010) really scared me.
Which sub-genre of horror is your favourite? (psychological/slasher/comedy horror are just some to choose from) Psychological horrors are the most effective, I think. Slashers are fun to watch hiding behind a pillow, but are often predictable.
What does a horror movie need for you to enjoy it? Lots of tension building with a fantastic soundtrack – really one of the most important elements of a horror for me (if I’m feeling scared during a horror I cover my ears instead of my eyes).
Are there any horror movies you really detest? Don’t know why they remade ‘Oldboy’ in 2013 – I don’t like it at all.
What is the sexiest scene you have witnessed in a horror movie? Oh my. What about that scene from the ‘80s with Susan Sarandon and Katherine Deneuve in ‘The Hunger’? That’s a pretty damn sexy scene.
Who is your favourite antagonist in a horror movie? There’s some many. Jack Torrance in ‘The Shining’ springs to mind.. I also love The Predator.
Is there any director that for you symbolizes the best in horror cinema? There’s a lot of different directors that symbolise different areas of the horror genre. The Master of Suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock. Argento has done some really fantastic horrors and has had a big influence on directors today, I think. And Wes Craven for the Slasher genre.
Blood and gore or creepy atmosphere? Creepy atmosphere all the way, if you really want to be scared. Very, very clever how the creepy atmosphere in movies can be achieved, and the subtle, subconscious effects it has on you physically, emotionally and psychologically. Too much blood and gore can just be gross (yes, I’m talking to you Eli Roth). Not to say it doesn’t make for a good movie.
And finally, what do you think so far of my horror coverage this month? Terrific! Keep it up, nice to see a mixed bag of reviews, quotes, opinions and questionnaires. Also, does the picture of your bum come under the horror post category?

Blood and gore or creepy atmosphere?
Actually Both; any film which is able to successfully
portray a believable reality + contain
an undisputable atmosphere of dread or mise-en-sine
is always a real plus ; I’ve always enjoyed a
good, old fashioned special effects gross out-fest over-
flowing with the `pink stuff’ so long as the physical
effects are imaginative, well-crafted, staged and
pulled off well, BUT – really only when the grue-factor
is organic to the story being told and when ones
suspension of disbelief demands or necessitates it…
And finally, what do you think so far of my horror coverage this month?
I get the impression that I joined this particular
bandwagon a millennia or two too belatedly, nonetheless,
really nice, as far as I am concerned~
