For myself to be honest, I can't really give you guys a clear-cut answer. Maybe it's a matter of "stretching your limits" I dunno. Only when I was 20, I started watching my first horror movies, classics like The Thing, Hellraiser, Re-Animator, Dawn Of The Dead, ... So do YOU have an answer why you went from watching "regular" horror to going for more extreme stuff like pseudo-snuff, mondo/true gore, Jap fetish flicks, ... ? I know I don't really have an answer for this meself ... ??? |

it's all my dads fault, he let me watch american werewolf in london, when it came out here (I was 8 or 9 or so at the time), apart from traumatising for the next 10 years or so, I started watching horror, and had seen everyting in our town's videostores, by the early 1990. so I started looking for new grounds to explore

It's not sick shit. Well I don't think so anyway. I remember as a kid being scared shitless by Draclua - Prince of Darkness and The Birds, and it fucked my brain for a while, then I learnt to cope with horror movies as I grew older. The more I put up with it the more I grew to like it until most horror became laughable rather than scary. In fact horror doesn't scare me at all now. I do appreciate the 80s horror movies mostly for their technicalities, such as The Thing rather than the CGi we get today. What does fuck with my brain nowadays is the real stuff, such as the banned series and the like. Reality is a hell of a lot more shocking than any horror movie. |

I find it one of the more imaginative genres, its just an extension of fantasy just as Scif-Fi is. It appeals more to me because i believe it has more significance, possibilities and design. There's a lot of horror releases and a lot of ambition. I also think as a genre it can acheive the most for being outside of the hollywood central genres. I don't view it as sick either

Scare factor Vs Gore factor are 2 different things for me. Gore doesnt scare me it makes me happy. Scare doesnt= gore. Some older movies scare me but have 0 gore. And yes I am man enough to admit that I get scared

I personally went to film school. and hate Hollywood tactics. emotions aren't cut and dry, im looking for the basis of the human soul. the absurdly sad drooling parts. i want to see it all. and soon enough i will leak my personal "cinema" here and the world will be deaf....but maybe not.. you guys will probably click but non the less.... its my fate.... |

True. I grew up in the vhs/betamax/video2000-era and there was this sleazy videorental store across the street. So I blame the fat guy from the videorental...it's all his fault! Now at 36, horror for me is just fun & entertainment...although the mrs. tends to disagree on this matter.

Thanks for all the answers! Well with sick I really mean SICK, like when people eg start looking out for movies where women get r@ped and not much else ... 
I went to this site once where you could buy these very movies, acted rape. I'm sure there are quite a lot of people who enjoy(!) just watching that. As for me, I'm just dabbling into the puke/scat thing, see if I get some sort of enjoyment out of it. Gore/zombie flicks are pretty much done for me, sad to say ... 
I also had my share of the Iraqi decap vids, but I can't for the life of me understand why I watched these, I wish I hadn't. Stretching my limits maybe ... |

Faces of death didnt make me sick at all. For some reason real life violence doesnt effect me but rape and sexual mutilations does. I think its because I couldnt care if some one dies a horrible death in the real world ( except my family) but in movies I draw they line at in depth rape. I wouldnt whanna watch a girl get raped for 30 mins when I could see a gorey bunch of deaths  I dont know my tastes might change and I will start to like some movies with rape

Well to be honest with you the main reason is that I am a huge film fan. When I say fan am talking about cinematography and the use of imagery on the human imagination, but also not forgetting the often comical aspect of horror. At the end of the day things like film classification, R-rated PG-12 and so on, exists because young people i.e. children have great difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality, so therefore in order for any work of ART to damage an adult he or she must already be schizophrenic. Am just like every ones else with a lot of gore, it makes me piss my sides with laughter. Unless it's really good then from time to time it shocks me, which i find a good thing. Within saying all this i love giallo and gore but am not the biggest fan of things like Face's of Death and guinea pig just for the Porno feel. As Joe D'amato says there is nothing creative you can do with Hardcore. I love things that are disturbing and unusual particularly when there not real (to see real act's of unnecessary pain and suffering actually outrages me). I don't expect every one to agree with me here but that's just how i am. Creativity comes in many forms but the best form is often brutal hard and violent. Horror doesn't push my limits only my imagination. It is interesting to note that Faces of Death out sold Star Wars in the Japanese Box Office. |

Very interesting since a lot of it is fake. I saw a couple (maybe 3) of them but when I found out there were fake scenes I stopped watching them. Not because I hate fake scenes but because I don't like being lied to. I'm also steering well clear of blatant racism in movies. |

I love timing how long it takes for the black characters to die... it usually indicates when the film was made

In NOTLD it was right at the end, but then they seemed to shoot him for the hell of it. |

i hope that one hasn't spoilt it for anyone 
I view that one as a proper ending, i didn't think the remake worked as well. I can't imagine a better way to end that movie myself

I started watching crappy horror with tasteless actions because the standard Hollywood movies became way too predictable for me. At first, these movies were completely new to me in a sense of stuff happening that you totally didn't expect. Later on, it became more of watching extremer stuff every time and now I'm just in for a very good laugh, so I'm getting more picky in what I'll watch. I skip the boring horror now and look for crazy stuff instead which can make me laugh a lot. Another big advantage is that if I'm watching a good movie now, even if it's from Hollywood (because I think everyone has to admit that sometimes they make something cool), I really enjoy it, more than I did before I started watching crappy stuff. |
