Horror Movies, anyone?

It's getting to that time of year again- Halloween! Halloween is associated with witches, black cats, ghosts, and definitely a lot of gory things. Being a teenager means there aren't a lot of options on this great, free-candy night. We might be a little too old for Trick-or-treating. But because it's October, there are PLENTY of scary movies to go see on Halloween night.

Scary movies have been around for a while, even in silent films. Here are the top 25 horror movies. Directors are having to use their brains a little more than just the regular squeaky door and an army of zombies. What seems to be popular now is the "self filmed" horror movies such as Paranormal activity (1 and 2) and the Blair Witch Project. It creates a sort of tension in the audience, because it seems like this is REALLY happening to the characters... Almost like a home video. Personally, I like movies like Prom night and Disturbia. Those definitely aren't hard core scary movies, but I wouldn't classify myself as someone who enjoys being scared either.

And then there are stupid "horror" movies. Here's a critique of the dumbest horror movies. I do agree, some of the plot lines are getting a little too... dumb, and not scary. This is why some people I know enjoy horror movies- They get to have a laugh about how stupid the plot line is.

I find that I can stand somewhat creepy horror movies. Just NOT the gory stuff, please. I mean, who really wants to see someone's face fall off, get burned, or someone getting half their body parts chopped off? Thanks, but I would rather not throw up.

Well, for all you teenagers who are going to skip the theaters and try and get some of that Halloween candy next Sunday night, we have a question for you. What recognizable TV/movie characters have you dressed up as or would like to?
