Horror Movie Trends

[ApolloBalboa]

I can't wait for Halloween so I can watch Halloween again.

You sir, are a man after my own heart. Aside from opening the door to give out candy, you'll find me in front of my television all night watching Halloween.

Anybody know why Halloween 3 had nothing to do with Michael Meyers?

As far as I know, it's because after II, they wanted each new sequel to have its own story, villain, etc. After the failure that was Halloween 3 though, they realized that they had a pretty good thing going with Michael Myers, so they decided to bring him back.

As for what seems to be the current trend nowadays, I'd say hardcore (in the way of torture) and intense gore. Also, a constant recycling of stories, which I can't stand.

No, that trend is just in the US. Countries like France, Spain and Great Britain have made lots of excellent original horror movies these last few years.

For the most part that is true. The US is the worst of the bunch by a clear mile for that accusation I made in the other post.

Lamberto Bava (Demons, Demons 2) when asked about remaking Demons, he said something like "I wont do it. I wont be a part of the remake hell Hollywood is stuck in." so good on him, well done, one of the more famous horror movie makers not willing to jump on the remake bandwagon.

Speaking of Demons, they are trying to get a Demons 3 off the ground. I think Tony The Pimp and others are trying to get funding for it. I think they are going to film the first ten minutes and show it around to see who will jump onboard and finance it. I look forward to another Demons movie. A true sequel to Demons and Demons 2. I will welcome it with open arms. As it will be done by those who more or less had a hand in making and staring in the first two. Meaning? Italians NOT Hollywood. So it will be a sequel and a long saught after one by me.

Anything Hollywood tries to do with this series or any other horror series can fuck right off!.

More creepy ghost stories would be cool.
Plus creative ideas like children of the corn and the little girl who lived down the lane type stuff too.

I watched Children of the Corn last night... :eek:

It still pisses on most horror movies out there today that have come from Hollywood. I bought it in a 3 DVD boxset from Asda.

Hellraiser.
Hellgate.
Children of the Corn.

It cost £5 for the 3 movie boxset. So that's not bad as COTC is worth that it's self. But Hellraiser isn't exactly a great movie. Ashley Laurence is a nice erection maker and all but that's about it as far as Hellraiser goes.

I enjoyed the first Demons, not too crazy about the second one except the soundtrack for it. If they bring back Tony the Pimp for part 3 I am all for it.

Tony The Pimp as far as I've heard is onboard. Both in the production process and starring in it.

I agree that they are pushing the Zombie theme alot lately but I love the Zombie mythology so I just gotts sift through the shit and watch the good stuff. Unfortunately Twilight has pretty much destroyed the Vampire genre in my opinion. lol

I wish they would come out with some good Horror (mindfuck) movies involving the devil like they did in the 70's! Movies that make you shit yourself months after watching it when you are by yourself doing something and it just pops back into your head!

Count me in for Demons 3 too. I like 1 & 2, The Church, and The Sect.

Are there any good Italian Horror filmmakers on the horizon or films? The last one I saw was Last House In The Woods. How many Last House clones has Italy spit out over the years? What Jerry Lewis is to France David Hess is to Italy.

So cool

Got to love the Italians for their horror movies... and for their pasta!. Chicken and Mushroom Risoto is out of this world!.

I've not seen much from the Italian horror scene of late. I am more into the 80s Italian stuff... and some of the 90s stuff from them as well. I "could" be wrong in saying this but I don't think there is any real horror icons from Italy anymore. Those who used to do it either do it once in a blue moon or have given up.

Shame really because Italy had some kick ass horror movies even if some decribed them as cheesy. I would eat that cheesy content twenty times over than even contemplate about eating the SHIT once that Hollywood makes these days. This is one reason why I look forward to Demons 3 when it arrives. It's not IF it will arrive it's WHEN it will arrive.

I think the first Demons movie ending would never be done in Hollywood in a billion years... it's not PC enough... the women get killed and the guy survives... YAY! lol

I'd like to see a trend of originality in the horror movies for once, but not only the horror movies really all movies in general. The movie studios need to keep out of the scripts and movie making process and let some of these great writers get what they write put on the screen instead of the studio guys coming in and totally changing things to fit their safe little formula for making a movie.
Wish they'd all stop jumping on the bandwagon too when a certain movie does well so they all think they gotta throw together something that's similar just so they can cash in. They're almost always complete garbage movies anyway.
