What did you do with the spider Kin?

Nothing. Once I'd jumped across the room and then calmed down a bit I then went back to bed and left it where it was.

Had it's vocal chords cut.
lol. No, I loved AWIL.


I'd just like to add that although it was true that he had his vocal chords cut this was due to some other illness and not because I ordered it.

Don't mind admitting I can't watch them.

I don't see the pleasure in sitting there and having the shit scared out of me for a couple of hours. And lets be honest, some of the horror films do scare the shit out of you  Shocked

What do you all reckon? Or am I just being a big pussy?   Grin

Ever since my dad made me watch an early warewolf film and combined with the dog jumping on my bed and howling at 3am on the same night. How I never shit myself I'll never know. I was 8 years old.
I hate horror films ever since.

Candy Man messed me up as a kid but nothing has come close to scaring me as much as Aracnaphobia did.

I love spiders, and they don't scare me at all (unlike heights or clowns).

But when I watched Arachnophobia (pretty bad film, and not scary if you don't mind spiders) I then went to bed and woke up during the night looked up and there was one of the largest spiders I've ever seen in this country on the wall next to my bed.

I properly crapped myself, and then after 5 minutes or so I eventually got my heart back to where it belonged and could laugh about it.



I first heard of a fear of clowns when we had bought a ceramic Poirot clown wall ornament. The brother in law (who is a big lad) came in and abso shit himself as he had same fear.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulrophobia

I was then amazed to find that there is very little that someone/somewhere doesn't have a fear of. I remember spending days after looking at various sites for individual phobias.

Am yet to see a horror film revolving around pogonophobia (the fear of beards). When it happens, I will watch.

Horror films give me a severe case of the willies but I still watch them (usually with the remote in my hand)

Love watching horror films, though gre wup on 'em as parents always watched them.
Funny as feck watching old horror movies as an adult, they are soo shite.

Much prefer the psychological horrors that are about now.

Talking of clowns my cousin watched IT as a kid and is still terrified of clowns now

American Werewolf in London freaked me out good and proper when I was very young.

Love it now because it's obviously just comedy but I couldn't watch it for years.

I think horror films when I was young were a lot easier to watch. They were just blood and gore. Modern horrors seem to fuck with your head and genuinely scare the shit out of you mentally.


LOL that was the first one I really watched and likewise it scared the shit outta me. Where I was brought up was in the middle of the countryside surrounded by fields. I can't tell you the amount of times I had to go outside at night in the pitch dark to take the dog for a walk or whatever and my mind started running wild and I thought I heard something n the bushes lol. It was all down to that fucking film!  Angry  Grin

Lol love that film
yes great film. So many cameos from legends and particually love the pub scene Smiley

Love horror films.  A lot are very derivative and quite disappointing but every now and again you find a cracker.  I think I've had a nightmare centred around every famous horror villain in film history.  Good times.

The problem with a lot of horror films is they concentrate on the gore or the set pieces, missing the point that to get genuine attachment to a horror film you need to care about the characters.  Classics of the genre like 'Night of the Living Dead' display a masterclass in how to do this.  Films like 'The Human Centipede' show how not to do it and just get obsessed with the supposed horror.

watch a horror film pretty much every time the gf comes round to my house as its the only film genre we agree on (her liking the more girlie genres - myself liking more action type of films...etc - so we compramise), ive actually grown to like the alot, probably my favourite kinds of films now (however as said previously - there are quite alot of absolute failures - but when you find a good one they are brilliant)

im abit weird on this, i cant be done with horror films such as scream, you know the gory ones, struggle to even watch stuff like holby city tbh, but im mad for any sort of 'zombie' film. also things such as '28 weeks later'. i think its the 'what if' factor that plays in the back of my mind that keeps me hooked.

'the walking dead' on FX (currently just started season 3) is pretty awsome as well imo
