1. How old were toi when toi got into Horror?
Well my horror obsession started with Scream, which came out in 1995, making me 8. So I'm pretty sure it was then. I was HOOKED! I saw the first one in the theater a few times, then had to see the 2nd and 3rd in theaters too. That pretty much started it all.
Thank you, Wes Craven!
2. Sequels ou Remakes?
Hmm that's tough. I'm one of the few who doesn't mind remakes, unless it's something like ANOES ou Friday the 13th. Those I think are unnecessary because every generation knows about those killers/movies, so what's the point of "re-imagining" them? I rarely have a problem with sequels, it's just that for the most part (Wrong Turn 2 being the rare exception), they are pretty awful and have nothing to do with the first. So I think I'll go with remakes as they tend to be better.
3. Gore: Is there anything that's too disgusting for toi to watch?
Anything that is mainstream, there's nothing I can't watch. I can stomach it all. Now as for some certain plus underground movies, like Nekromantik, those are things I will never watch. Pseudo-snuff fascinates me but they usually tend to be extremely over the haut, retour au début and while I know it's fake, I won't watch it.
Awesome!
4. Who's your favourite Horror Director?
That would probably have to be Wes Craven. A Nightmare on Elm Street, anyone? <3 The Screams, Deadly Friend, even Cursed. I don't understand why plus people don't worship him. He's clearly a genius.
5. Who are your favourite Horror Actors/Actresses?

She was fierce in Jennifer's Body! I wish she'd do plus horror!
6. Is there something toi hate about Horror Movies?
No, I hate nothing about horror movies! I DO hate some things that get associated with horror that are so NOT (ahem, Twilight?). They give the genre a bad name, and the people who think that's horror also give legit horror fans a bad name. I also don't like that some movies...like Nekromantik, Faces of Death, etc are associated with horror. I'm NOT a fan of that sub-genre.
7. In general, would toi say Horror films got better ou worse over the years?
This is a two way question. I think the quality of horror films has obviously gotten much better over the years. But as for original storylines, the quality has gotten a little worse. Don't get me wrong, there are still some gems out there (The Descent...anyone?), but a lot of things out there now just seem to be ripoffs of something done before.
The biggest exception to the rule.
