How to Choose a Good Scary Film
- 1). Explore for gore.
- 2). Decide which types of "scary" films you like: horror, science fiction, thrillers, monster movies, slasher flicks - what's your pleasure?
- 3). Have a conversation about the types of frightening films you both enjoy if you have a regular movie-going partner. Establish and maintain a list of titles you want to see together.
- 4). Do some exploring online to see if you can find Web sites that discuss and recommend white-knuckle movies. Use one or two of the major search engines to find these sites.
- 5). Consider joining an online forum that focuses on horror films or any terrifying category that you like. Again, you can find these by using search engines or checking the lists of forums and special interest groups on your Internet service provider (ISP) or online service.
- 6). Maintain contact (in person or online) with friends and acquaintances who share your love for scary movies. Get their feedback on new releases regularly.
- 7). Read the movie section of your local newspaper and watch for reviews in magazines such as "Time" and "Newsweek." Read critiques of all the new edge-of-your-seat films.
- 8). Look at the movie ads in the entertainment section of your local paper, and read the critics' quotes or "blurbs" that you find there.
- 9). Keep lists of the terrifying films you want to see in a theater or on video. After you watch a movie, put a check by the title on your list.
