Plus I gotta agree with Harleykwinn's original post. I tell my wife, who happens to be a big slasher horror movie fan that i get enough misery, blood, and murder every single day in real life without having to see it for entertainment. My idea of a good Halloween is to watch Lon Chaney's Wolf-Man or Karloff's Frankenstein. It's scary-eerie without it being gratuitous and simply about murder.
I could not agree more. Also,I think watching those old flics makes me feel the same way the silver age stuff I read does. Simple clear cut good-guy-bad-guy-non-smutty-entertainment recharges my batteries. Gore and guts and sadistic murders drain me. Watching people die or even be born can make you lose your taste for that crap quick.
