Cheap Scares?
Saturday. 9.13.08 6:09 pm
�Many of today�s thrillers are about gore and torture, not fear and anxiety.� �Carnage for Kids� David Barringer

I think this is pretty true. They have figured out how to make me hurl, but they haven�t figured out how to make me spooked. I think everyone is picking up on it. In Changeling: the Lost, they specifically say that you can take points off of someone�s check to scare someone if they just jump out from behind a bush to scare someone as opposed to actually working at it. Why have we gotten so lazy?

I wonder if that is why my book doesn�t contain so many gruesome images, because that is something that I am reacting against in my society? Perhaps, though I must admit, it might have more to do with the fact that I don�t really like to be scared.

But what do you think? Do you think that David Barringer has a point or are modern horror movies still using more thoughtful ways of generating horror.

That link's not working for me for some reason...

I don't really watch horror movies, but from what I know most of them are just gorefests...

They're kind of also about fear and anxiety sometimes, though. Usually people are running so they won't get killed, and the characters are supposed to be feeling fear and anxiety... if the viewers empathize with the characters in the movie, it seems like those feelings should be passed on to them.

I agree that the scares and thrills are getting pretty fake now and it'll all about how ~gross and morbid some of the scenes get. I guess it's good for me because I can watch them without being completely freaked out.
