aragarnaDay 4 - Your favorite horror movie.
Mouahahah. I... Um... Does The Shining count? Psycho maybe? They're more thriller than horror I know... Sleepy Hollow, then? Come on, that's horrific. There's a beheaded man on a horse. And rolling heads. And blood on a pumpkin.
Oh wait, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil! That one I did see. That was funny.
Okay, fine. I pass that one.

Date: 2015-09-04 02:51 pm (UTC)You know, it's like zombie movies. The only one I've seen is World War Z, and anyone who enjoys zombie movies will tell you it was not graphic enough (it's PG13, there isn't anything horrifying in it), but for me, it was actually good. It meant I could watch it without fearing for nightmares...

Date: 2015-09-04 04:14 pm (UTC)And just like leesa said, I also lived with such horror. Being a child of the 70s has its disadvantages... *twitches*

Date: 2015-09-04 04:21 pm (UTC)For me the main trigger isn't necessarily violence in itself, but twisted, cruel characters, and torture of any kind (and there are a lot of those in most horror movies).
I don't mind a movie like the Sixth Sense, for example, even though it's a little graphic, but I can't stand Criminal Minds.
I couldn't stand Dexter, not because of the blood, not even because of Dexter's dubious moral, but because of the twisted serial killer they're going after in S1.

Date: 2015-09-04 09:36 pm (UTC)I haven't seen Sixth Sense, Criminal Minds or Dexter as none of them appealed - and I've been well and truly spoiled for Sixth Sense now anyway!
But yeah, it's weird - I liked Kill Bill, which is very, very violent, but didn't like other movies because of the violence. I can cope with some serial killer subplots (there has been more than one in Bones, for example), but not others. I guess we all have triggers and it can be hard to put what they are into words, but I have a pretty good instinct these days as to what I'd cope with and what I'd wouldn't! Still, there's the occasional surprise, like Pirates of the Caribbean!

(Thanks wikipedia, for the memory help!)
