Marcus, nothing wrong with you that a few more years and a decrease in bladder control won't fix.

Wow. I clicked over to the preview. It was breathtakingly beautiful. Especially from a visual art perspective.

I'm not a horror fan, but I occasionally like a good suspense tale. Oh, and I love everything M Night Shyamalan does. He can make even the empty corner of a room so scary!

Why do we like to be scared? It's a good question. Or perhaps it is better put like this... why do YOU like to be scared?

Yes. The short answer is "yes!"

Yeah, I'm not prepared to say there's something wrong with you since thousands of others also like the genre. In the last CSFF blog tour, we had a good discussion of horror in the comments of <a href=Sci Fi Catholic's post.

Interestingly, I've read Anne Rice say even in her horror writing she was exploring the spiritual.

Me, I just don't like being scared. Cheering on my favorite sports teams is enough of an adrenalin spike for me. ;-)

Well, I'm sure there is plenty wrong with you Marcus, but just run of the mill stuff I'm sure. For me, I could care less what the subject of that film is, that is INCREDIBLY COOL AND CREATIVE STUFF. I was totally hooked. Such a great gritty, dark, comic book world. How wonderful to be able to deliver that with a bunch of pieces of paper.

loved it.

You're a writer. More than one thing is wrong with you.

Mark,
Have you read Stephen King's "Danse Macabre?" Gives the best explanation of why some are drawn to horror, why readers want to be scared.
As for myself, I pass.

haha. I don't know. Life often reminds me of a horror story with some of its twists and quirks, as well as outright catastrophes.

But a good story is always good, imagination too. And to have a little chilling excitement should be a part of any good story, suspense, whatever.

But I guess I just can't stomach too well pure, unadulterated horror. Maybe a defect in me?!
