Fresh Meat... - Throwing Stones - 09-06-2010
Hello. Throwing Stones here. Yes, I'm fresh meat. Couldn't find the Introductions Forum, so I guess this will have to do. Big fan of the site. Time to stop lurking. Love good horror that isn't riddled with Swiss. I look forward to chatting with you fine people.

*nom nom nom fresh meat* Expect much teeth-gnashing and drooling. Welcome!

Welcome to the big TH. Rule #1: Don't ever go into the basement. Briggs likes to perform 'experiments' on his victims down there and it's good to just leave it along. Occasionally he'll come up in a bloody lab coat but... just play it off as nothing.

How sweet, fresh meat.
Now that you have come out from lurking in the shadows.....you are one of us!....muahahahahahahaha
Just make sure u read Briggs a bed time story at night before you tuck him in, otherwise, he throws a fit and kills the bunnies.
Welcome.

I take it Mr. Kriticos's house could not contain your stone throwing ways, ghost #14? Very well, I shall perform my own experiments on your fresh ectoplasm-y meat! ...The bunny meat is unsatisfactory >:)
Well I can't comment on Swiss horror, as I have yet to see Frontier, which is the only popular Swiss horror film I could find... unless you meant Swiss as in cheezy, in which case I mostly agree with you. More serious horror is almost always my preference. ;)
Really glad you like the forum thus far. Keep on posting!

Hi everyone! Thanks for the warm and bloody welcome!
Dr. Briggs -
When I said "Swiss" I meant cheesy. Not into horror that has:
- Bad dialogue (wait, there's goes almost all of them)
- Bad acting (shit, I'm already screwd)
- The lesbian sex scene for the sake of having a lesbian sex scene (as much as I might enjoy watching it, don't get why so many horrors follow this idealology)
- When the characters are screwing in the woods knowing damn well there's a killer on the loose, but eff it, we're horny, and I've got needs. Surely we won't be killed, right? (again, as much as I might enjoy the scene, this ruins it for me)
I look forward to talking with you all on this board!

. And hey, you're calling me Dr. Briggs proactively! Ironically I wanted a username change not long ago, but I realized that not even I as a mod could do it 
. Nevertheless, I could be adding a degree to my handle soon. X)Bad dialogue, I hate it myself, it's one of the biggest killers of modern horror films out there. There can be a scary premise and fairly good direction going but when the characters talk like they're in a C.W. show IN THE MIDDLE OF BEING KNOWINGLY STALKED, it takes me straight out of a movie's realism.
Bad acting... I usually give it something of a pass as long as it's not outright stilted or stupid. Truly 3-dimensional portrayals are bonus points in my book... big bonus points, but not something that is an absolute must.
ANY sex scene, for the most part. Filmmakers forget that these movies are ideally supposed to entertain us by frightening us. If we're titillated and there's nothing planned to really turn our pleasure into squick, something's failed.
This general kind of thing (be it sex, be it throwing a party, be it going to the car alone to pick up beers) sucks if it ain't handled correctly. If it's something like Paranormal Activity (guy pretty much knows there's bad shit going on, stays anyway and sucks his girl in because he's a cocky and curious bastard and that character flaw is a big plot-point), it's cool. If it's just an excuse for the writer to move the plot along, it's bad.
Forgive me for being all verbose and shit, but this kind of topic really gets me going. XD

Cool. I agree with your post completely. It's been a while since I've seen a good horror.
Fresh Meat... - NicoleMayCanaday - 09-07-2010
Oooooo Dr. Briggs....I take that as an omen.
Fresh Meat... - Throwing Stones - 09-07-2010
Not sure why when I saw his name I thought it said "Dr." in front of it. Ha ha ha. Hope it sticks.

:claaaap: actually you might not be too far off Stones
welcome to TH and hope that all your cheese be paired with just the right "whine" or at least to get drunk enough to enjoy it anyway...

Briggs is a doctor. A doctor of pain and torture.

Now that you arent lurking around anymore-always keep this in mind-
If the thing under your house eats your dog it's probably not a cat!
