I never really got the gore thing. I mean, people still are a little nervous about being in the shower alone fifty plus years after Psycho."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Originally posted by Adrift View PostThere's a point where gore can get so crazy that the absurdity of it becomes humorous. For instance, there's a scene in Dead Alive where the protagonist if fighting off zombies in a house with a lawnmower, and the gore gets to practically waste level as he's doing this. It's insane, but hilarious (well, if you're sick in the head). Other times gore is interesting in just a "how did they do that" sort of way. Back before CGI, one of the things that I was most enamored about by horror films was the special effects. Like watching a magic show.
As far as practical effects go, The Thing (1982) is tough to beat, and a really great horror movie to boot.I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

I love special effects - but there are some just really not worth doing..."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Why, when the serial killer/monster jumps onto the roof or hood (bonnet in Britain) of a car doesn't the driver simply slam on the breaks? Momentum is your friend. You come to a screeching stop and the bad guy/thing doesn't allowing you to run over them.

Although it works best if the driver slams on the brakes instead.
