Anyone interested in a HORROR Group?

[Khephra]

We've got groups for fantasy and science-fiction. Horror seems like a logical choice to add to fill in the genre gap.

1. I would

that sounds pretty cool.

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Me! Me!

You know I'm in!

[drhilarius]

3. Count me in.

[Skittles]

4. Kef, I finally got the DVD of the original THE HAUNTING 1963

beautiful!! :thumbsup:

[Khephra]

5. COOL! That's one of my faves. I need to get it on DVD too.

Does that mean you're in for the group, though?

(I just re-watched The Legend of Hell House. Man, that film was scary even today and it had little to no special effects.)

[Skittles]

22. I am a fan of GOOD horror movies

I like the pyschological ones much better - not the blood and gore. You must listen to the commentary - they have the director and all the major players talking. He mentions where that actual house is - looks a bit different now and is a four-star hotel (that movie was filmed in England - Wise made the setting in rural New England in America because he felt like haunted houses are too common in England). Just Google "Ettington Park Hotel".

Also, here's a detailed site from a rabid fan that I found fascinating: http://www.ficsx22.com/haunting/haunting_reviews.html

6. Didn't we have one?

Named "Bush, Conservitives and conservitivism" or something like that.
:evilgrin:I think it is still running in archived and other

[Khephra]

7. EVIL, EVIL, Poster!

Now go sit in a corner!

:evilgrin:

[Maestro]

8. I thought that was the politics forum.

:shrug: ;)

[Khephra]

9. Nah, the Horror forum was actually GD: Election 2004

:evilgrin:

But that's gone now, so we have to start another place to scare ourselves silly.

10. I like horror books but don't like horror movies

What are we talking about here? Both?

[Khephra]

11. I'd image both

It would give the group more traffic if we did both. Also TV horror too. Actually, horror in all its forms. Some music might qualify as well. I could see making a group statement that would be broad enough that it would also allow horror themed musicians like Ozzy and Coopter...unless everyone else thought that would be stretching it too far.

[auburngrad82]

13. Ok, I'm in.

[Feathered Fish]

12. I'm in

Great idea.

[Khephra]

14. Until we get enough people....here's some horror news

Pinhead Comes To Television

Producers are adapting Clive Barker's "Hellraiser" film series into an hourlong TV show according to Sci-Fi Wire. Larry Kuppin, whose New World Entertainment hatched the first two Hellraiser films, will executive produce with Eric Gardner.

In the series, a tabloid journalist stumbles onto a plot between the ghoulish Pinhead and a software magnate that would have dire consequences for mankind.

[NamVetsWeeLass]

25. yep, I'm in.

I have dirt from the Original Night of the Living Dead Graveyard!

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. I'd be interested in perusing such a group.

:hi:

[Khephra]

16. That's 7 including me, right?

Or is the count incorrect?

(BLM and RBNYC, we need you here! ;-) )

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Yes you are right. I thought eight, but Skittles never said either way.

:hi: I'll try to help keep it kicked.

[Zomby Woof]

18. Isn't GD: Politics enough horror?

;-)

[Khephra]

19. I'll give you some fresh brains to eat if you join in.

Promise!

:evilgrin:

[Feathered Fish]

20. kick

[Khephra]

21. Thanks for the kick!

I'm going to be out for the next few hours here in a little bit. Please kick this occasionally. I'll be back later.

[Khephra]

23. We only need three more!

I know we have enough horror fans to do this. Maybe the rest of us come out only at night, so nighttime kick time!

:kick:

[Kire]

24. I like that idea.

[Forkboy]

26. I'm in

[Khephra]

27. And I think that makes 10!

Woo Hoo!

I'll start working on a mission statement for the group tomorrow and post it here in the Lounge late Friday. Things are a little hectic over here right now, so I'll have to wait until things calm down a bit to get to work on it.

Keep your eyes open for the next post sometime after 4PM ET tomorrow!

Thanks everyone! Now go be goth or something tonight. ;-)

[libpunkmom]

28. Me Me Me!!!!

I want a horror group!!

[Khephra]

29. The Horror Group Mission Statement:

The purpose of the Horror Group is to scare the living daylights out of the other posters on DU.

Nooooo....that's not it.

:evilgrin:

Still working on the Mission Statement. I should be done soon.

[Khephra]

30. The "Artsy Goth" Horror Group Mission Statement

The purpose of the Horror Group is to provide a safe-haven for all those lovers of the dark creatures of the night, creaking doors, spiderwebs and things that go bump in the night. Here we can talk about gore without fear of offending and share dark nightmares for the delight of others who have a taste in matters that are Dark.

Film, TV, theater, literature, comics, music....this is the place to discuss any art form that thrives in the night of the human soul.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

This is not an Exit.



(Whatdaya think? Too Much, my Children of the Night?)

:evilgrin:

[Khephra]

31. The Standard Mission Statement

The purpose of the Horror Group is to provide a forum for discussions about horror--be it in film, TV, theater, literature, comics, music or any other artform.

[Feathered Fish]

32. This one is great

It's one of the best mission statements I've read yet.
Perfect.

[BigMcLargehuge]

34. I am interested Kheph!

[Khephra]

33. We need some more input

We've got the ten people, we just need you all (or at least some of you) to check back in with the mission statement above.

Suggestions and other examples of a Mission Statement welcomed!

[BigMcLargehuge]

35. it might be nice if you included a short description of subgenres

though not at all necessary...

like :

This group will open discussion on the writers, actors, and directors of classic horror in the Universal/Hammer Studio models, Kaiju-Eiga, Asian New Wave, Italian horror and Giallo, plus the current resurgence in Independent direct to DVD horror.

I think the mission statement as written is perfectly fine, and I am pretty sure that Admin won't have a problem with it.

Hey, did you ever check out Horrorview?

[Bride of Cthulhu]

36. count me in.
