If there is one thing in the world that gets my brother excited is the gift of horror movies. I don’t know why it is but you can get him any number of these movies and he’s a happy boy. He can’t even explain what it is that he likes about them, but it is probably the same thing most of us get from such a movie. There is a rush we get when we are scared, and perhaps that is an additive feeling for my brother. Honestly, I’d much rather he got a rush from a movie rather than turning to drugs for the same thing.
Horror movies have been around for decades, but they keep getting better. My brother says that the plots aren’t necessarily better, but the effects have certainly moved ahead by leaps and bounds. Some of the best horror movies, according to my brother, are the older ones. Some of the classics cannot be beat, and even the remakes of them are lacking the same charm the originals had and still have.
For me, I don’t need to see a lot of blood to be freaked out by horror movies. In fact, the less I see and the more that is left up to my imagination, the more scared or freaked out I get. The more the movie presents to you the less you have to use your mind. When it comes to good horror movies, at least for me, I have to have the element of surprise and I have to know that I don’t know what is going to happen next.
Whatever your taste in horror movies might be, you can find something to give you what you want. You can find the newer movies in theaters and you can find the older ones are now out on DVD for a very good price. If you have a fan of horror movies in your family like I do, you don’t have to think too hard about what to get them for Christmas. Though I don’t get my brother the movies any more because he has so many of them, there are plenty of other things to buy. Each year I go to Spencer’s and get him a two-foot tall figure from any of the number of movies that he loves. The collection he has is growing, and he looks forward to the next one I will get him each year.
