Comedy, Disney and Zombies - What's happened to the horror genre!?

[Cathbad]

There must be over 200 horror movies on XFinity for me to watch "On Demand".

Problem is, over half are either comedies (not a good combo, imo), Disney (good graphics, not frightening in the least), or Zombies - which seems like all anyone can make now-a-days!

Of the watch-able ones, over half are older flicks.

Can't we get someone to make good horror flicks - sans zombies??

theres quite a few good horrors knocking about. of the more modern ones, my favourites would be.

The Babadook - fantastic psychological horror.

Kill List - extremely violent, psychological. Don't think I could sit through a second viewing.

It follows - creepy. A spectre curse that is passed on through sex is constantly walking towards the victim, and only they can see it.

Don't be afraid of the dark - a creepy fairytale from the mind of Guillermo del Toro.

They'd be my picks. But yeah, I agree there's a lot of zombie horrors and rubbish horrors crowding up the genre.

By the way, what Disney movies are horrors!? I want to check them out

I watched It Follows - good movie! Need more like that.

Love psychological horrors, so I'll look up The Babadook!

Haven't found Babadook yet. While looking, I found one called They that sounded good.

It wasn't.

Yep, They is terrible.

Ooh, I almost forget, The Descent really good horror about a female group of Spelunkers.

And The house of the Devil.

House of the devil is on my to watch list. I might've seen The Descent... can remember little though, lol
