What's you favorite horror sub-genre? What about your least favorite?
My favorite is the slasher sub-genre. Surprise!
My least favorite would probably be the exorcism sub-genre. Besides "The Exorcist", almost all other exorcism films suck.
What about you guys?

I would say psychological as my favorite and torture porn as my least, but then I liked both Saw and Hostel... I'm also not a big fan of witches and supernatural, but I LOVE The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby and The Omen... I guess it comes down to how well it's all put together. GREAT to see you back Zack!!! Between you and Ashlie, it almost feels like the old days! |

Ah, I almost forgot torture porn. I also strongly dislike that sub-genre, while also being a hypocrite and believing Hostel is a masterpiece. Feels good to be back. ~Zack~ |

I'm hip on the inter-dimensional crossover horror: Stranger Things, In the Mouth of Madness, From Beyond... and all things HP Lovecraft. Oh! Can't forget inbred backwoods horror.
I really can't say there's much horror I don't like.

I'm old school. Give me B-movie horror any day of the week! Sleepaway camp...all of them.
Then maybe Hitchcockian horror....thriller?
And American Psycho, of course.
And, sorry, but I admit I love 70's rape/revenge films. (WTH does that say about me....)
My least fav:
Gross-out horror:
The human centipede I will NOT WATCH!
Slither.....no.....bugs.....NO!
Hostel...depends on my mood.
AND NO PUPPET OR DOLL ANYTHING! |

T.v. show. It was pretty popular. Amazing Stories: This anthology series features unreal fantasy and horror stories a la "The Twilight Zone." Each short story was all-inclusive and many featured famous actors. Steven Spielberg served as executive producer of the show, which aired for two seasons on NBC. |

Damn. How the hell have I never heard of this? I'll put it on my list of stuff to watch. Another sub-genre I really enjoy is the haunted house one. I love me some haunted house movies. ~Zack~ |

It was weird, I remember that much. And there was another one that came on showtime...Dark Shadows or something....wait was that a soap opera? True dat! A good old fashioned ghost story. Especially with kids. Have you ever seen 'Dead Silence'? I foolishly went to see it with my friend and I didn't sleep for a week. |

Yes! That and 'Drag me to Hell'. I was sooo freaked out after that one. Everyone else thought it was funny...I was horrified.
Old ladies can't be trusted. |

I've never really dipped into this sub-genre. Always seemed a little too strange for me. lol Ashlie, I thought the old lady in "Drag Me To Hell" was hilarious. ~Zack~ |
