Youngsters have always taken an interest in such things. I expect that it is part of learning about the world of adults and how to respond to various situations, even the most extreme and unlikely. I think it's emotionally healthy in moderation and if they grow out of the phase. But of course it doesn't interest everybody. Some are content not to know.Why are teenagers obsessed with teenager-slashing horror flicks?
Some people just like the thrill of not knowing what's going to happen. It's kind of like a rollercoaster ride.
i'm 38, and i was obsessed with the slasher flicks, because back in the '80's i was made to believe it could happen to me. i knew it was just a movie, but i would never go camping near a haunted lake, nor would i venture into a forest filled with fog. but it was a movie, and it was fun.... at the time. now you have movies like ';saw'; and ';the descent'; which feature 22-30 year olds in horrific scanarios . even beyond that there are movies like ';elephant'; that pit high school students killing other students. scary has evolved.
Yeah, I'm 23 and can't explain it either. I think it's part of the dumbing down of America, personally... More blood! Yeah! See what I mean?
Teenagers like a good scare. Something to raise the adrenaline levels and horror movies provide that. But I know a few teens who don't like horror, so its not unusual.
I'm one of the teenagers who loves horror.
Sex. Violence. Blood. Gore. Flesh. Swearing. Nude teens. What's not to love?
What makes you think there's an obsession? All I see are a relative few movies with a common theme. I'm sure there are some people who really, really like them, but watching a more banally appealing movie isn't an obsession, nor is it a sign of a ';dumbing down of America';. Furthermore, what makes you think it's the ';other teens dying'; part that's the focus of attention? It seems you've made some false presumptions.
Some people like to be frightened. You don't. It's neither complicated nor a big deal.
jesus christ!
normally i'm not a big horror movie fan but come on,
those movies are CLASSIC.
why are you complaining about those movies 20 years later they were out? there's nothing psychologically wrong with moives....obviously adults write the scripts...cause they do prefer people who graduated from college and whatnot...
are you trying to say you just don't think any kind of movie
is not ridiculous and downright ';stupid';?
cause lets see....we have sci-fi/thriller movies...we have drama/comedy movies...drama/thriller/horror movies...romantic comedy movies.
most of people like those movies regardless of if they are teens or not. i like die hard movies....i'm a teenager and the main character is an adult! it doesn't make sense how you relate one specific kind of classic horor movies with one specific group of people.
rob zombie made friday the 13th stupid...you can't re-make a masterpeice...he's seriously creepier than marilyn manson.
you're 26...stop acting like youre a 90 year old complaining about todays youth. most teens don't like classics, unfortunately. they aren't obsessed with it. take it from me, cause i am a teen.
