Horror Archetypes
 
Which do you prefer? Poll to follow.

I don't know why the ghosts have to be simple, when apparently even the zombies are allowed to be complicated. But I like the discorporeal a lot.

jon boy 01.09.2010 01:19 PM

i like all of them for various reasons. i put serial killer because thats what scares me the most right now.

Glice 01.09.2010 01:25 PM

I prefer Biblical terror. Please amend your poll to include 'vengeful God(s)'.

I think zombies have been removed from their most Kafka-esque qualities but I still prefer them in that sense of the inversion of death, etc.

Glice 01.09.2010 01:29 PM

I have to restrain myself from thinking that anyone with an interest in any of these is a complete spacktard, I really do.

Probably zombies. Man, I just realized that there have been soooo many vampire movies coming out lately.

I wanted to pick serial killers and werewolves. Though I cant think of any good werewolf horror off the top of my head, the idea of them is more interesting than anyone else. I'm kinda tired of vampires and zombies. Serial killers can be pretty fucked up in how sneaky, human, and happy to torture me in elaborate ways they are.

I guess the real threat of physical control and torture is more terrifying to me than mythology.

EVOLghost 01.09.2010 02:04 PM

I would have to say Vamps n Zombies dood.

EVOLghost 01.09.2010 02:05 PM

lol mummies?

Dr. Eugene Felikson 01.09.2010 02:16 PM

I'm going to have to go with werewolves. I prefer lycanthrope mythology, and the reflection of our contrasting superegos, and ids.

I especially adore werewolves that look like Katharine Isabelle.

 


She gives me a full moon.

That's a real shame.

infinitemusic 01.09.2010 02:33 PM

I used to prefer Vampires, but all this shit ruined it. FUCKERS

It's vampires for me. The thought of living forever as long as human blood is drunk and possessing supernatural powers is the most appealing and romantic.

Yeah, I like the idea of werewolves. I think they're held back though by the general lack of good werewolf films. American Werewolf in London, The Howling, Wolfen, Ginger Snaps. Not much else. I blame Teen Wolf.

classic choice of the free marketeer

floatingslowly 01.09.2010 05:42 PM

I prefer Scientist's Monsters.

but not the frankenstein kind.

more like bioterror.
