Scary Ghost Movies or Scary Slasher Films?

Agent J9 · 02-25-2008, 05:44 PM

So these are the Classic typical plot outlines for Horror, so which do you prefer, Slashers or Ghost films? hard question, but most time i like classic slasher like halloween, nightmare on elm street, but sometimes the ghost stories are good too, what are your favorite slasher films or ghost films?

The slasher genre has been dead for a long time in my view. Unfortunately it's long death is still being dragged on. But I will always hold a certain fondness for the Halloween films.

Out of the two genres I much prefer a good ghost story to another teen slasher. Sadly there aren't alot of, what I would call, good ghost films. Some films that I enjoyed are:

13 Ghosts
Ghost Ship
The Sixth Sence
Amityville Horror
Polterguiest
Haunted
The Haunting

None of these are great films, imo, but they are enjoyable

Its got to go to slashers. I only rarely see good ghost movies. The only oe that appeals to me is Poltergeist. But slashers there are lots!

Slashers own, but I'd love to see a "good" ghost movie. It's been awhile!

I'd have to say Slashers simply because I've had more luck with them in the past. But I DO love a good ghost story.

there is some really good movies of both, so is hard to compare, to a degree, when slasher movies out number ghost movies by alot, but i say the standard is with the ghost.

both are enjoyable tho!

Ghost movies are hard to sell, but most seem to love the slasher types. Anyway...

Ghost: The Fog (1980)

Slasher: Dressed to Kill (1981), Black Christmas (1974 Original), High Tension (2003)

I prefer human killers or even monster killers to ghost killers. I still enjoy ghost ones, but when reachin for just a lil bit of reality in this genre to enjoy, gotta put ghosts last in place. The plots to the supernatural scare films sumtimes go so over the top tryin to be smart it takes away from the fun.
