So lets kick off this new thing with one of my favorite genres, horror.
I've seen that this is very much a love it or hate it genre. Some people can't get enough of the scares and suspense, while others turn the other way and run out of the scary mansion before anything can grab at them.
One thing I've noticed is that books and movies handle this genre very differently. Books rely on the suspense and dread factor, mainly, while movies prefer jump scares here and there. Movies also like the suspense, but it's almost always concluded with something leaping towards the camera. It's quite obvious why books don't do jump scares, but I've seen very few movies that utilize the suspense factor really well. I'm personally a big fan of the genre, and I love a good scare every now and then.
Despite my fondness for it, I don't really write horror. I would like to try, but every idea I seem to come up with has been done to death already. Maybe someday, though.
What do you think of the horror genre? Do you love it or hate it?
