[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8213454, member: 85555"] I still find them kind of scary, because you get invested in them. I came to horror in the 80s as a kid, and we were surrounded by 70s and 80s gore, but the hammer movies still had a big impact on me. Well done horror can still be timeless. There are always fads and fashions, and I think sometimes people make too big a thing about "horror evolving". I hear that all the time in reference to current films, but I genuinely don't find newer horror movies that scary (there are a lot of jump scares, a lot of reliance on sound effects, and CGI, and often they are too smart for their own good IMO). There have definitely been effective new horror movies, but I think sometimes people don't realize they are also living in a time that will pass and what looks really scary to them right now, will look more corny than stuff 30 years old to 60 years old in ten or twenty years (I am definitely seeing this watching a lot of films from the early 2000s, which I had a much different reaction to the first time I saw). The good ones will stand the test of time. Movies that are too weighted down by present trends, in any era, whether it is the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 2010s, or today, will feel dated and corny eventually. Good horror feels more timelsss IMO [/QUOTE]
