Horror lovers?

I really enjoyed the Jigsaw movies.

we have a sci-fic fantasy section in the bookshop but not a horror section.

In my primary school library, I dont call it horror. I call it 'scary books'. I also have a section dedicated to ghost chapter books.

One of the most popular books is Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier.

Some of the children do believe there is a ghost in the library. I dont know who started the rumour, but I havent been scared, if there is a ghost its a friendly one and apparently doesnt like that much noise.
If a book falls off the shelf apparently its because of the ghost!

Crappy or good, that's not the point.
Art can house the demonic. Even genius art. So, the point is: does the art we consume, make us think about our life and death, about our Creator, or it makes us more depressed, more deepened in this world?
The purpose of a Christian is to acquire the mind of God (this is the reason why you read the Bible, go to Church, you pray etc.)
Seek the kingdom of God.

I didn't know that being a vegan, caring for spiders and snakes and helping a turtle (?) cross a road are in the job description of a Christian.
You seem to not take God (and the Church) seriously...remember that fear of God is the beginning of the wisdom.

Have you read the bible? Since it's 'one of the bloodiest horror filmed books' and you are a big fan of the genre...

I don't see horror genre as being a part of our walking orders-
Philippians 4:8-9 King James Version (KJV)
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

I am fan of horror stories and my favourite writer is S. King. I prefer to use pdf scanner for books and read it after work. Sometimes I can share my faviurite part of bible with friends. Such tool can be useful in daily life especialy when you like to read books.

"I get enough horror exposure when I tune into politics. " AMEN TO THAT! I'm amazed how nasty people on even this Christian Chat can become - I could say their names but I won't - they're safely ignored anyway.

But back to the point: I have two favorites: Nightmare Castle (1965) and a true noir film, Carnival of Souls. I also enjoy the zombie films from the early thirties (White Zombie). But I really don't like modern horror films either. Oh, I just was reminded of the silly horror films I like, the Japanese Godzilla and Gamera, killer tomatoes and others.

I enjoy the classic horror. The Universal monsters as well as the Hammer movies. And Halloween is another favorite as well.

This thread is almost a year old but whatevs.
My favorite horror movie is Stay Alive, it's not very well known but it's a classic in my book.
As for horror movies in general, I feel conflcited because as a child my grandparents always told me that watching anything that made me afraid was opening a gateway for evil. I still believe this to this day, but i feel like we have a choice whether or not to feel afraid or not after we watch it.
Do you all believe that after watching something horror themed, we are allowing evil to enter our homes? Or do you believe that its all in the mind? I'd love to hear someone elses perspective on this!

Homes? No. That seems a rather Pentecostal sounding notion.
Minds? Yes.
But different people handle such things differently. I, for one, don't do so well watching such stuff, therefore I avoid it mostly.
Yet others handle it well. My sister used to love horror movies. She may be scared during it, but once it's over, she's fine.
If one can handle it without issue, and their conscience is clear, then go ahead. If not then they have no right going anywhere near it.

According to the Science of Neuroplasticity there is a basis for that. every thought we have produces a protein like structure in the brain, if it does not line up with the Galatains 5 attributes the structure is imperfect and produces negative and harmful effects, this is what taking in fear and horror do.

Plants vs zombies.

The plants win of course.

others that are popular include diary of a minecraft zombie and Goosebumps books.
Im not a fan of those but some children like them.

Maybe they will turn out to be doctors or surgeons, or nurses as they can handle a lot of blood and gore.

Otherwise there are some war stories that are horrific, though Diary of Anne Frank wasnt actually describing the concentration camps in detail.
The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom did that. Morris Gleitzman had done a series of books a oit the holocaust.

YA books are definitely darker, though. I'm not into them. I prefer reading aomething lighter. even as a teen I wasnt into the whole horror that some seem fascinated by.

One time a group of friends went to a haunted house (an old mental asylum called spookers) and I refused to go, I dont know if I was chicken but having actually been inside one before I wasnt actually keen to go to one just for fun lol. Or pay for the privelige.

Ive been inside an abattoir too. Thats not a job I'd relish. But some people can handle freezing works. Im not one of those. The animals are treated as humanely as possible but since its mass slaughtering its not ideal.
Its better to do homekill than transport them to their death cos of the stress on the animals.

Yes indeed! Home kill is best.

I had a girl ask me to read a picture book called 'cinderella skeleton' and she liked it so much she asked me to read it again.

she also asked her relieving teacher to read it to the class but the teacher got about halfway and said it was disturbing and didnt want to read anymore!

Its not everyones cup of tea. Cinderella was already dead and instead of leaving the glass slipper at the palace her entire foot snapped off.
