WHAT IS TRUE HORROR
6/6/2008 1:39:07 AM
there has been some misunderstandings of what horror truly is, thus, to make it plain and simple, if it doesn't offend you its not horror.
What is Horror?
This is a question that I use to ask myself a lot, however, that was then and the answer is now. What is horror? Horror; rather, true horror is something that makes you feel the cool chill of death reverberate through your body. True Horror is something that offends you in such a way that you find it utterly scary, repulsive, terrifying, and demented.
When ever we read a horror novel or see what has been said to be a horror movie the subject in question should create not a sense of thrill or a since of a quick scare, but it should make us feel a terror that continues on well past the time the we either stopped reading it or watching it. It should linger on with us, almost becoming a part of out own being, our own thoughts and mind. It should move us, perplex us, and at the very least cause such a feeling in us that we want or desire to know more about this fealing or this fear within us.
Horror is meant to offend. If you watch or read something that is stated as a horror and it does not cause the feeling of being offensive to you then it is not a true horror, but a copycat like thriller playing it self out for the quick scare. If it does not offend you is it really worth watching or reading??
