Do we need a seperate Horror forum?

[Darklord Dave]

So do we? It would cover Universal, New Line Horror, other horror collectibles, etc.

[Batty]

Why not? Horror is one of the big categories for Sideshow. It might make it a little easier to search for certain threads.

[occulum]

I'll def say a yes to that Dave.
But I may be biased. Its my number 1 interest as far as all of SS's lines are concerned.
and hopefully SS has enough new horror products coming down the pipe to warrant its own forum.

although it would cut posting in this forum almost in half.

[galactiboy]

I think there should be, there are definitley enough lines and products to warrant it... actually for a long time I thought there was a Monsters forum until I tried to look for it :rolleyes:

[hairlesswookiee]

i say yes because the horror is a very popular subject and it should have its own forum. millitary figures have their own forum and i KNOW the horror forum would get just as many if not more people posting in it.

[Gruson]

Yes!

I was actually going to send you a request on this.

;)

[DarkArtist81]

FO-SHO!! :rotfl :rotfl

I mean... absolutely!

It would probably make the threads in the Movie/TV forum not disappear so quickly and it will contain the zombies... for now. :D

[Dr.Mirakle32]

The House of Sideshow was built on Horror, and Horror put it on the map. So yes. If Star Wars (one movie series) can get it's own forum, why can't a whole, and extremely popular genre get it's?

[Migwit]

I voted yes. With a big "Pretty please?" attached to it! :D

[Darkshadowcollectibles]

Yes, make it so.
:emperor

[King Darkness]

Yes Dave, I think its a great idea.

[oxbeard]

Good idea Dave. I say go for it.

[denger4000]

I'm all for it.

[Fritz]

I think there's enough interest to warrant it's own section.

[Shai Hulud]

YES !!!!! Dave I've wanted this for a long time...I'm always in the general section..cause their is no horror section:monkey2

I think with the Universal monsters, New line Horror,The Dead line, and all that monster talk, we could use a Horror Forum..I know that it would be the place where I would hang out...

[TOE]

it would be more organized and great idea

[Batty]

I know that it would be the place where I would hang out...
No one wants to see that. :monkey4

[Agent23]

Sure, why not.

[Darklord Dave]

Okay, riddle me this monster boys - would Aliens and Predator be horror?

[King Darkness]

Okay, riddle me this monster boys - would Aliens and Predator be horror?

Well...the movies are more sci-fi I think, but the characters are definitely monsters...so....sure.

[Batty]

Okay, riddle me this monster boys - would Aliens and Predator be horror?
How about a Sci-Fi category? Aliens, Predator, Terminator, Star Trek, X-Files, POTA, Highlander. Some of these lines aren't as active as others, but it might be good for newer and future licenses.

[Booyah!]

I voted yes. I want to see the Hillbillies from Deliverance........

Oh, wait...they're my neighbors....:monkey1

[Kabukiman]

Too many categories makes Kabukiman a sad panda.

[carbo-fation]

Sure why not....seeing how many horror fans we have.

[Darklord Dave]

I don't want to get like some other forums where people get frustrated not knowing where to post. For example I wouldn't consider Aliens to be in the same category as Freddy Krueger, but some people might. Thus the confusion begins.

But with all the new members coming in, it does make sense to create a new category.

[William Shatners Toupee]

I say no. I think there comes a point that there is too much segregation in forums. It's more fun to read a blanket forum on everything.

[Badism]

Young fool, only now, at the end, do you understand... :emperor

That's a big yes. Jason Voorhees is what brought me here in the first place. :D

[oxbeard]

Yeah, but I think instances as that will sort themselves out over time. There have been other posts that may fit into more than one forum and you've not banned anyone yet for getting it wrong. :D

And over time with the occasional move here or there that might be necessary by a mod we'll figure out the boundaries.

Now give us that forum :mummy

[lakeshouse]

YES, Definately!!! with so many new Horror figures coming out. :chew

[TheObsoleteMan]

Okay, riddle me this monster boys - would Aliens and Predator be horror?Skulking monsters terrorizing and killing people... sounds like horror to me.

[NSFolsom]

I think it would be a great addition to an already amazing discussion board, Dave!

I would say that Alien and Predator could be in horror.

[bluesparrow]

I'm for it. Plenty of horror stuff to talk about.

[JSA]

Yes, absolutely Horror should have it's own section.

I'd even suggest two sections as follows:

Modern Horror (1970? to current)
Classic Horror (1900 to 1970?)

Modify the years accordingly, but you get the drift.

JS :)

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Okay, riddle me this monster boys - would Aliens and Predator be horror?
That's the down side of it: to many categories, and you might loose overview, which could result in missing information. Keep it simple!


Too many categories makes Kabukiman a sad panda.
Now look what you guys have done!

[Double Dare]

If that hack Whedon can have his own section, then horror definitely deserves its own separate forum.

Nick

[abstractharmony]

My interests primarily lie in the darker side of things anyhow but I'm very fast and loose with my 'Horror'. For example, I'd include X-Files & Outer Limits not to mention Aliens.

What I'm trying to say is...

LET'S HAVE A HORROR BOARD

[carbo-fation]

If that hack Whedon can have his own section, then horror definitely deserves its own separate forum.

Nick

hack Whedon???? :mad: Feel the wrath of Palpy!!:emperor :emperor :emperor :emperor

[Shai Hulud]

If that hack Whedon can have his own section, then horror definitely deserves its own separate forum.

Nick

My opinion also....:cool:

[NASEDO]

I voted no. I dont think there's enough Horror stuff released to keep discussions current. And I compare it to the Buffy section, in which I hardly ever go to. I'm a Buffy Fan and only collect certain BUffy items, but since it got it's own section I only been there a few times.

[FrankenFan]

Sure.

As long as those murder-loving, misogynist, "Modern Horror" misanthropes are kept out. :horror

http://www.kurtgoldzung.com/MB/drprtrs.gif

[JSA]

I think we should break everything down into separate sections:

Buffy
Willow
Xander
Faith
Cordelia
Giles
Angel
Spike
Darla

Same for Horror:

Freddy
Jason
Mike Myers
Leatherface
Dracula
Frankenstein
Wolfman
Phantom of the Opera
The Mummy
etc.

Same for every single LOTR character also!

That way you're 100% sure to get the right section for what you want!

It'll be totally foolproof! :monkey5

JS :D :rotfl

[Vince]

very good idea

I mostly just visit the 'SSC Movie/TV Collectibles ' forum and that's just to check the Universal MOnsters news, so a seperate horror forum would be very nice!
maybe even seperate it in New Line and Universal Monsters as those are two totally different genres...

[Shai Hulud]

Sure.

WHAT.... ????



LOLLLLL :lol :lol:confused: :confused: :google :monkey2 :D :D

[Darklord Dave]

Hmm, well FF that kind of defeats the purposes, I'm trying to isolate the creaky, old B&W lovers along with the murder loving mysogynists so they can deathmatch it out (maybe take the Kurgan crusade with them).

[Darklord Dave]

If we separate it into New Line and Universal then where would someone go to post about, say, a new Hellraiser Pinhead doll? With just a horror section it's obvious - you break it down too much it starts being confusing.

[Shai Hulud]

Yeah..perfectly logic Dave,

You have voiced my innermost fear.

No, no, no, Dave. You divide it between Golden Age or Classic Horror (that would include films from the 20s through the '40s) for the chronologically challenged, and Modern Horror (whenever that dark period of time began), for the young sociopaths.

Now, that's your perfectly logic, Dave. :)

If you don't like that idea, could Protozaius and I have our own forum?

[DannieDarKo]

Yes definetly!

Me as well. Same with SW. I mostly just visit SSC Movie/TV Collectables.

[pordey2]

:maul

[denger4000]

Whats the deal with knocking modern horror? The 70's and 80's had such great horror films...

[King Darkness]

Whats the deal with knocking modern horror? The 70's and 80's had such great horror films...


I think its two completely different schools of thought...classic "monster" movies and modern "horror" movies are totally different....Were as the classic often gave the monster a heart and character, modern horror movies have the ultimate villian, no emotion, just a hard core killing machine.

Take Frank & Leatherface.....They couldn't be more different...The "shock" horror that came into its own in the 70's is a much more in your face type of horror...I for one prefer modern to classic, but I think its apples and oranges....Though they both may have "monsters" in them they are worlds apart in thier approach...

[wookilar8]

I vote for a Horror furom. IMO it's way over do. I also think you should increase the "recent threads" section on the home page, like it was before. I like to keep up with current threads but right now too few appear on the home page.

[lcummins]

Yes! I've always thought of "horror" and "sci-fi" in the same context, so why not make it a Horror/Sci-Fi forum, that way, you don't have to worry about where the Predator, X-Files or Twilight Zone goes... :monkey3

[bluesparrow]

I like lcummins idea.

Separating horror into 'classic' and modern is stupid. Just don't click the threads you don't want to read.

[Darklord Dave]

Well, if it's Horror/Sci-fi what would be the difference in just renaming this forum to that? Is there ANYTHING we talk about that doesn't fall into that category?

[wookilar8]

I actually think the MARVEL forum should be renamed SUPER HEROES forum.

OK now back to our topic at hand......Horror/Sci-Fi good idea.

[oxbeard]

Well, if it's Horror/Sci-fi what would be the difference in just renaming this forum to that? Is there ANYTHING we talk about that doesn't fall into that category?

Good point Dave. If it were a combined Horror/Sci-fi then pretty much all that is left is Bond. I know there have been Superman threads but if Marvel were changed to a Comic or Super Hero forum that would go there. Of course then you have the occasional HP, POTC, or the like. They're usually few and far between though.

[King Darkness]

I also think you should increase the "recent threads" section on the home page, like it was before. I like to keep up with current threads but right now too few appear on the home page.

Looks like you got your wish...Thanks Dave I like it better with more threads on the homepage!!!!

[wookilar8]

Looks like you got your wish...Thanks Dave I like it better with more threads on the homepage!!!!
Excellent Dave...you ROCK!:rock

Seeing as your granting wishes. Can I have a million dollars?

[denger4000]

Horror/sci-fi=bad idea. like it's been mentioned what the hell would we talk about here? I think once the horror thread is made I'm gonna stay away from this board, Bond is pretty much dead, and no intelligent Highlander thread lately so....Horror, star wars and lord of the rings for me.

[Shai Hulud]

I think once the horror thread is made I'm gonna stay away from this board, Bond is pretty much dead, and no intelligent Highlander thread lately.. .


GOOD IDEA DENGAR....ADIEU, ESPECE DE RINGARD.

[denger4000]

Do you want to get rid of me or something?

[Darklord Dave]

Okay, it's done. I considered putting the Kurgan campaign in here since it's so horrible, but I resisted.

Personally I don't consider Predators and Aliens to be horror, so I left those threads, in General. But it's open for discussion.

[Buttmunch]

Is Sci Fi part of the new horror section or is it still general? What about the X-Files? It could go either way.

[denger4000]

Please don't put the Kurgan thread in here.......Infact lock it, they are insults to Highlander "fans". I'm glad not all Highlander "fans" think like them. other wise we wouldnt of had six awesome years of the show, Endgame and the new movie the Source which should be awesome. Also I think x-files is sci-fi....

[Darklord Dave]

No, I don't consider sci-fi the same as horror. I think there are a lot of people that are interested in sci-fi that aren't interested in horror.

[NSFolsom]

See its these kind of posts that we respond to, with Joking Kurgan fervor, that people get all bunched up about... stop worrying about our thread. Highlander isn't horror, we are aware of that. Although the TV show is close :monkey4

[Buttmunch]

So, is X-Files Horror fourum or General?

[Darklord Dave]

I don't see X-Files as horror any more than Buffy is really.

[EVILFACE]

X-Files is about aliens. Unless Jason or Michael Myers were regulars on it, it is sci-fi.

[Kabukiman]

X-Files is about aliens.

Except for the times it was about ghosts, vampires, werewolves, Flukeman, etc.

[Fritz]

I don't want to get like some other forums where people get frustrated not knowing where to post. For example I wouldn't consider Aliens to be in the same category as Freddy Krueger, but some people might. Thus the confusion begins.

But with all the new members coming in, it does make sense to create a new category.

Sure I guess a separate SciFi section would be ok? ;)
