Haha, that's because it's my day off, and I can be! I'm trying to sweep all the ducks into a line so we can try and do the judging and recoloring fast and get the new items out. I've also been doing a lot of work behind the scenes with Lina--I'm so excited for the common update for this week, you don't even know.

It's not a 'horror' movie but it's a great ghost story, give the original The Haunting a try.

Ooh, I'm horrible with horror movies personally. ;w; I can handle horror video games, but for some reason movies really get to me...

@Miss Kitty: The 1963 one, not the one with Liam Neeson and Owen Wilson.

Is anyone here a fan of horror video games?

They get me too >> I get really bad paranoia...but I can't help it ;-;
You ever play any of the virtual horror games on the Samsung Gear or the Vive?

Another Movie Addict - I'm so glad you said that or I probably would have ended up watching that one...lol

I haven't played any VR horror games. :o But I love classic psych-horror games! I mostly watch Let's Plays these days, though, since the horror genre is really decaying games-wise and you can't seem to find any good games that aren't haunted house simulators... :/

@Miss Kitty: Yeah the remake is the one mos people find or think of, but the original is just so good. With perfect build up in the atmosphere, and gets really psychological.

I prefer horror films, but then I'm not much a gamer in general.

Ah, I'm a big gamer. xD It's one of my biggest hobbies, so it's natural that I'd gravitate toward games as my primary source of horror.

I played one VR horror. It was some twin doll thing. You stayed in one room and it was the whole 'storming, power out' thing lol. Jump scare. Was pretty neat though. That was for the Gear though. The Vive, from the lets plays looks so much better. I really like that it tracks your whole motion so you can walk around the room and it'll mimic you.

The classics, rather game or movie xD Seems to be so much better. Like movies. Its so much CG now. And while it does help somewhat, something about the less CG used in the originals and just..the pure of it all...makes them that much better.
Everything lately seemed to be remade or just the same idea used over and over and over.

@Miss Kitty: The Haunting's remake is late 90's CG, so it's so ugly and replaces all the wonderful suspense.

There are exceptions to the rule, but more often than not a remake just sucks compared to the original.

I think it can be easier to enjoy remakes when you're part of the fandom for the original, but the opposite applies too--feeling passionate about the original movie can only make you feel more upset if you're disappointed by the quality of the remake.

Agreed. Even if they are corny beyond relief, they are still better xD
I actually just watched The Shining for the first time the other day, believe it or not. Was way late to the "you have to see this" party lmao. I'm still here all questioning random parts of the movie and whatnot.

That's true too, superbearwars.
Like books! If a book is made into a movie, you can either really love it because its your favorite book becoming something you can actually see, or it becomes a disappointment because its not quite how you pictured it or they messed up certain scenes.

@superbearwars: I found the remake first, but once I discovered the original the remake just lost my interest. However that one is a movie that doesn't work even when you don't know about the original or the book. Now I had this happen with The Nutty Professor, even after seeing the original I preferred the remake.

@Another Movie Addict:

Yeah, I've definitely had that happen where I've discovered an original because of a remake and favored either one or the other.

@Miss Kitty:

Yeah that makes sense! I've had that happen with various things too. I'm in a lot of fandoms with multiple series within the franchise, and it's like... You either love or hate the newest series, but even if you hate it you still watch it LOL

@superbearwars: There a lot of people who would disagree with me, but I actually liked You've Got Mail and Flubber over their originals. Both were fine for their respective time periods, I just preferred the modern updates. Also the little flubber goo was adorable to tiny kitten ama.
