The Horror Genre: Why it's often hit/miss

Dracofangxxx's picture

I'm writing an essay about this. BUT UNFORTUNATELY Oasis randomly cleared my writing TWICE after I had gotten around ten lengthy paragraphs done. So I am going to post this and edit it when I'm done writing it SO THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

Made me so mad.

Yeah...

It's truly infuriating when that happens.

Whenever you have a lengthy post, it's best to compose it in a word processor first. Save it. Then copy & paste to Oasis!

The main caution is to look at the preview before actually posting... It is quite easy for some of the formatting (paragraph breaks, etc.) to not carry over faithfully. But once you've looked at the preview, final "corrections" should be easy!

horror movies are always a miss for me...

I have seen most of the popular ones, and none of them scared me at all, not even saw, touristas, halloween, house of 1000 corpses, nothing. not a single one. Paranormal activity was a joke, as was some other one I can't remember billed as the 'scariest movie of the year'

Mental wounds not healing, driving me insane, i'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train- the ozzman

Wrong journal... maybe?

But... for me, I have low tolerance for seeing any living being in either a real or potentially dangerous situation... even if it turns out to be just a sick joke!

I'm the person who made my mom take me out of the theater during SPY KIDS. (This was around a decade ago, but still.) I do not like scary things in movies! So, no horror stuff for me. I like romantic comedies though (even caught myself enjoying one with a RIDICULOUS premise once).
