->''When I ask my baby for a date\\
She says she'd rather stay at home up late\\
Says my cold, cold kisses give her chills\\
But the spooky, spooky movies always give her thrills''

->What is there in the horror film that makes it such attractive fare? Why is there an endless stream of giant ants, creatures from black lagoons, vampires, homemade Immo sapiens, wolfmen, brainā€eaters, mad scientists, and voluptuous sacrificial victims flickering on our movie screens? It is easy enough to say that the films are overtly violent and covertly sexual and therefore give their audiences the twin thrills necessary for success in such ventures. But that answer, though partly true, fails to get at a special dimension of the horror films: the lurking religious which gives many of them their special power to attract.\\
It seems bizarrely true that the cinema of horror provides its highly secularized audiences with their last—perhaps their only—opportunity to experience mystery and miracle as if they were dreadful; as if they were aweful.

Hit you right on the chin, oh yeah\\
It's bound to be a thriller, it's bound to be a chiller\\
It's bound to be a killer, oh yeah''

->'''Adam:''' Dude, horror movies are the greatest films ever made. When's the last time you saw a love story or a romance in one of these things? All it is is people running around and meaningless dialogue and cool special effects and lots of people dying. Why do you think they made so many goddamn ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'''s? It's cause life sucks so bad.
