My personal supposition is that 'horror movie' has long borne the de facto gestalt of the supernatural ...made real, and come to scare you sh*tless. (Fwiw, I don't feel 'horror novel' carries the same stricture.) So, e.g., when I comment on HIGH TENSION, I address my remarks explicitly to 'horror fans' despite HT being *not* a 'horror movie' (...if I'm consistent, anyway). And thus, say, Freddy Kruger is horror but Michael Myers isn't. I don't understand the distinction. Michael Myers might or might not have been supernatural in the first film, but he certainly is in the sequels. Same notation for Jason. -- Star Trek 09: No Shat, No Show. http://www.disneysub.com/board/noshat.jpg |
