this makes almost no sense. so, if you are a fan of horror, you're just supposed to blindly accept any horror movie, or to narrow it down, any horror scene, without question?

I love the scene in Halloween when MM sticks the guy to the cupboard and then stands there and examines him like a butterfly pinned to a board.

I dislike the scenes in Halloween when Laurie has asides to herself like, "I thought you outgrew superstition." to me, that's kinda cheesy.

but being as I like one scene, and dislike another, does that mean I'm not a true fan of the genre? or to take it a bit further, does this comparison mean I don't like the movie Halloween? as a matter of fact, I consider it to be one of my favorites.

to me, a true fan has cultivated a taste for what is good and what is bad... particularly in their chosen genre.
