Ahh! The horror!

I'm just wondering what people's opinions, as Christians, are on the horror movie genre. Both the thriller and the slasher fic.
I mean I've heard a lot of people say that we have to be careful with what we subject ourselves to, etc. But personally I love a good scary movie and I think so long as your not getting any ideas from it, and taking it as it is, being just a movie; it's not all that bad.
Just wondering what you guys think.

I love horror films, tho I prefer the more psychological thrillers to hack 'n slash flicks

I love horror too, but lately I don't go in for the slashers - they're just boring. I like my horrors a bit... classier (vampires are always good), and with some kind of meaning behind them. Psychological thrillers are good, too.

I'm not one for horrors, though I like vampire movies. That sometimes counts. I think they're okay, as long as you're not all "Wow! I'm gonna go try that right now!"

not a big fan of slasher horror movies...a much bigger fan of psychological horror movies.

I can settle in and enjoy a good old Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Motel Hell, Friday the 13th. I haven't seen a Freddy movie.

Silence of the Lambs is good. Also, American Werewolf in London

I do love a good horror movie. Like a rare gem they are precious.

I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre(original in new widescreen) 3 times this year.
An absolute master piece! Halloween, and Friday the 13th are carbon copys of that movie in many ways.
Its a classic, and like all classics time doesn't deminish them.

I watch horror now and then. The horror films in my DVD collection are mostly slasher flicks; I'm a big fan of the A Nightmare on Elm Street films--I have every installment in one large box set.

if you think you can be corrupted or "tricked" into thinking bad things, don't go see any horror movies. if you can enjoy a movie for what it is - entertainment, then by all means go see whatever you want.

i hate horror movies because most aren't scary but there are the random exceptions.
