Be Honest....
Ok, whenever i tell people that my all time favourite Horror flicks are the "Scream" and "I still know what you did last summer" series, the always look at me funny....now is this because they are crap movies, or because they have a stigma surrounding them because their basic 'killer-never-dies' movies?
i dont know why but i love these movies...they arent scaring in the pee your pants in your seat way, but they are still pretty good horror movies...i mean i have other really really scary movies that i love, but whenever someones says Horror Movie i always automatically think of Scream. Am i a lousy Horror Fan who needs to see the light? Ciao xXLadyFrostXx

Scream was an excellent movie. Very underappreciated in the world or Horror. Most people don't like it for the fact that it spawned kind of a new genre.
I Know What You Did Last Summer was one of those spawns. It was an alright movie, but it wasn't something that fans of horror had not already seen.

I don't think there is any wrong or right, it's all subjective really. Personally I dug Scream but I couldn't really get into I Know What You Did Last Summer. There are no lousy horror fans... ok I supposed if you listed House of the Dead at the top of your list I'd be forced to ignore your opinions but hey, at least you're watching horror and not some cheesy coming of age story.

There's nothing wrong with Scream & I Know What You Did Last Summer being your favorite horror movies. I don't find either one particularly endearing, but that's just my taste.
Have you watched a lot of horror, or are you a budding fan? Are you a big slasher fan? Take a look at the HDC Top 100 for an idea of what people around here like (Scream is on the list.)

I love any kind of Horror, but i find some movies just go way over the top and do some really really stupid stuff....when a horror movie goes to far i tend to get either really bored or i sit there and think "as if that could happen" take "The Hills Have Eyes" (no offence to anyone who likes this movie) but i would burn that movie right down to its last roll of film....its one of those movies where i cant get into it because its too far fetched! and because it scares the hell out of me...(dont read on if you dont wan to know what happens in the movie eg...SPOILER ALERT) they did not need to put the mutant raping the sister...i was nearly sick because of that! i hate that movie with passion...but if anyone out there likes it thats fine...each to their own...just trying to put my point across...movies like this are aiming for the gross and disturbed factor (such as Saw II and Hostel) their not giving us a scare for the sake of a scare, their trying to scar us for life.... thats the thing i hate about some horror movies. give me a nice, normal serial killer who uses a butchers knife any day :cool: ive always dreamed about becoming a horror film maker....writing a horror script and then having it made into a really good movie...it doesnt even have to go to theatres, i would be satisfied with straight to dvd. thats where all the best horror movies are. xXLadyFrostXx

These films are frowned upon by many horror movies fans because they ushered a new era of more "mainstream" horror movies aimed for teens and featuring mostly "cool kids". The two films by themsleves were ok, and just ok in my opinion, but it all went downhill from there.
I believe that the new wave of torture movies like Saw and the likes is a counter-reaction of some sorts to all these bland PG-13 horror movies.

I wasn't going to answer this, because you are obviously disturbed. ;)
There's nothing wrong with either of them, if that's what you want to watch so be it. We all have our faves, just because someone doesn't agree with you, that's their hard lines, have you asked them what their faves are, you may think that their choice is just as bad. My fave horrors are Jaws & King Kong (original). They may not be scarey, but are simply works of art, that still hold many peoples affection. I like Jaws because I can remember seeing it at the pictures and as for King Kong, when you think it was made back in 1933, the special effects for its time IMO haven't been equalled.

Personally, Scream is one of my favorite movies of all time. It is one those movies I never get sick of watching. I cant even tell you how many times I have seen the original Scream, I absolutely love it. 2 and 3 were not as good as the 1st but for a sequel they were outstanding. As for I Know What You Did Last Summer I also enjoyed. I didnt love it but I definately did not hate it. Scream is one of the best trilogy's out there and nothing anyone can say will change that.

i bow down to Shady!
Scream rocks and its one of my favourite trilogies. The third movie kind of sucked for me, but the second and first one rocked...the only thing i liked about the third one was the video footage of (i can even remember his name) the guy from the first and second movie, the one who knew all about horror movies and the rules that guide them.... i thought that bit really made the movie good. xXLadyFrostXx
