I remember the first horror film I ever watched was at the age of 7 - Aliens, yep nightmares for weeks hahaha I miss old movies, it wasn't about 'look how incredibly detailed and super scary this high def scary thing looks!', it was all about the... you'll have to help me with the right words here.... the 'feels', the atmosphere, the tension. It was often just as much about what you didn't see as what you did.
Same with video games, some of the best games I ever played were the old Resident Evils (Yes one growling sound had me frozen checking the 2 bullets I had left in my handgun
) and Condemned (Yes I was completely frozen when an empty wheelchair rolled across the end of the hallway).
So yeah, I really do, they might not have looked amazing compared to today but the way they had built up that tension inside you made them oh so much more believable and involving

never really thought of Aliens as horror. idk why not though.

Really? Scared the life out of me at that age hahaha0 -

Glad you enjoyed it too, I'm always having to try and explain to people why books are better than the films, now I can just show them this haha I'll always love books over books made into films, you just can't capture that inner monologue, depth of emotion and character in 'a look' like a book pulls off 0

Hopefully people still listen to you, my friends refuse to go to the movies with me now because of my rants.

I believe movies really distort the fascination of allowing our perception to depict what we are reading. Books allow us to create in our minds what a movie tends to have a hard time doing.
Yes. Ask the average LoTR moviegoer what a "balrog" is and they will almost certainly describe this thing, which for sure is pretty cool and looks like an extra from "Doom":
But here are parts of the actual description of the balrog: what's implied is more terrifying than what's said:What it was could not be seen: it was like a great shadow, in the middle of which was a dark form, of man-shape maybe, yet greater; and a power and terror seemed to be in it and go before it.
At least part of the terror of the Balrog is not it's physical presence but its ability to dominate the minds and souls of all who encounter it.His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings. It raised the whip, and the thongs whined and cracked. Fire came from its nostrils.
(I won't get into the "wings" vs "no wings" debate.
