Hello my Children of the Night! 
Any fellow horror buffs watching horror movies around this holiday?
Or reading any good horror novels?
Today I walked to the library and picked up Drag Me To Hell and the book, Clown in a Cornfield.
Iām really staying in the Christmas spirit, no?
omg that is really awesome that you can find entertainment value in that stuff.
i cant it makes me on edge
the last thing i watched that was horror was paranormal activity. a long time ago (after psychosis though).
i just cant cant 
Hugs!
Iām sorry. I shouldāve thought about trigger content before I made this thread.
Please forgive me.
no needā¦I do not get triggerred easily at all unless I am actually watching any of those freaky things :)))
hugs :))
Awww 
thanks for understanding!
Iāve seen so much crazy stuff in my life that horror genre stuff is sort of cathartic.
I donāt want to go into details of what Iāve seen. Now that would be triggering for fellow forumers.
Hey BB.
Started watching House of a Thousand Corpses last night again. Iām so desensitized that very few horror movies get to me anymore. Now horror novels always give me chills because my imagination goes crazy in a good way.
This Clown in the Cornfield sounds interesting. Iām gonna look into that one.
Scweeeeeeet! Lol. Yeah, Clown in a Cornfield is written by Adam Cesare. I hope I spelled his last name correctly. 
Watching Die Hard 1 and 2 tomorrow night. Proper Xmas viewing.
I used to read James Herbert and Stephen king when I was a kid. I loved that stuff then.
Modern horror movies are too scary for me. I wonder why I could handle horror books but am freaked out by movies?
@shutterbug Iāll be enjoying Tenet on Xmas night.
Sweeeeeeet. Die Hard is a Christmas movie in my book. 
@labratmat, Yeah, I think a lot of modern horror can end up being a contest as to who has the most gore or disturbing imagery.
Some franchises and directors I donāt support are things like torture porn.
To me it shows a severe lack of imagination.
I tend to enjoy a lot of older horror movies, but occasionally a modern gem will pop up.
And with horror fiction a lot of writers turned to true crime books and thrillers to support themselves. But thereās still a lot of great and imaginative horror fiction out there.
Cheers!
Trigger Warning I saw a 2 headed demon come out of my ex husbandās as I was trying to go to sleep one night. Folks I donāt do LSD or any other non Rx drugs. I almost peed my pants. I wasnāt on clozapine back then. That scared the bejesus out of me. I screamed and my husband woke up. I started rebuking that thing in the name of Jesus. It went away. (Rebuking is christianese for telling a ādemon or the devilā to leave you alone). Not trying to be religious here. Just stating what happened.
Yeah no I donāt watch horror films. I Donāt watch them.
That one is pretty good. Nothing I would buy, but cool animation.
Sorry to hear about your experience btw.
Trigger Warning:
Before I started taking meds I saw a huge demon materialize out of air and shove my shoulders. It haunts me to this day. I donāt tell many people about it. It still doesnāt make much sense in my mind.
I wanted to watch The Invisible Man tonight but I canāt afford to buy it.
Aww thatās a bummer. I checked that one out from the library. I thought it was pretty decent. It definitely had a few genuinely suspenseful moments.
This is my idea of a horror movie at Xmas:
Blech.
I love that film. Different strokes for different folks!
@anon21849028, I just ordered this on DVD:
I put that on my list of horror movies to watch next year.
Sweet! Itās gotten really mixed reviews. But Iāve read that if you enjoy midnight movies and off-the-beaten-path cinema than itās definitely your cup of tea.
I only watch horror movies, really. I love anything horror.
@Montezuma, you said you like older horror movies. Have you watched The Innocents (1961)? Thatās my favourite movie. You should watch it if you havenāt
