I loved them when I was a kid but can’t get past the spells, demonic possessions, dark side bullshit any more. It just all seems so ridiculous as the forces of evil and darkness try to take over the good.
On the other hand, give me a good science fiction book and I am in heaven. I don’t know enough about science to be hyper-critical. I also don’t seem to mind all the magic and evil crap when it is a part of a decent fantasy story. The Harry Potter Series was very entertaining. (Obviously not Horror.) But it still has that Good vs Darkness and Evil bullshit going along with the story.
I did like a movie that came out a bit a go… I don’t think it qualifies as horror. The spirit of Azazael jumped from body to body killing people. I enjoyed that and I enjoyed 6th Sense. But mostly I just leave all the spirit, voodoo, mummy raging, Frankenstein, wolfy, dracula, Jason, Freddy, stuff to others. (I recall, the very first Jason movie was good. It just got silly after that.) Oh, zombie flicks, boring as hell.
