In the case where negligence over children that resulted in the death of an elderly lady, its much easier from a legal perspective to for one estate to sue than to debate the complexities of wrongful death. Blame the lawyers all you want but the smart money goes for a suit against the children...

I've never been into wargames, but i've played almost table top rpg under the sun. A buddy of mine recently told me its possible to do a conversion of 40k to make it more of a "roleplay" game. Now I know im a little late to the party with 40k, so where would you vets recommend i start to get up...

I assure you i read it cover to cover, and did not skim it. As i said i found it boring. The fact of the matter is the entire book was written in past tense, via journal entries and letters, so you know the character must have survived to write them. Admittedly from the get go when reading i...

True, but its 2:30 am, the wife's out of town, and I have a week off of school and work starting tomorrow. Might as well bicker on internet forums. I do feel however, that some progress has been made and someone may rethink their bandwagon-ing hatred of twilight after reading this thread. Who...

Whereas I can only see monster movies as action/adventure (excepting Paranormal Activity, because of the strong psychological bent it achieves when viewed with a large group of people) because the horror only works (imo)until the monster is seen. But again, I am incredibly picky about my horror...

Favourite movie and you don't remember that the main character is Louis? Or the rather brutal scenes of the Theates des' Vampires abducting people and killing them on stage for thrills? Anne Rice did a fantastic job of revitalizing the vampire genre and at the same time creating characters who...

Could we perhaps concede that it is a fantasy romance, with heavy horror elements, perhaps? Using the same logic I could easily strip the horror from both jaws and silence of the lambs, calling one a monster movie (and if jaws is horror then so is Jurassic Park) and Silence being a long form...

Actually psychopathic killers makes up the better part of the last three books.

Fair Enough, and a vaild point. And while I am hesitant to call it horror at all, I will reiterate that its popularity may be good for the horror genre. And while they are not amazing in ANY sense of the word, I still encourage people to read them, at least so they can know what and why they...

Forgive me, I may be misunderstanding, but doesn't all horror come from "outside influences apart from the main characters"? Jason, Freddy, and Michael for example. Even the demon from the Exorcist could be considered an "outside influence"

If you did read the book and not the wiki entry, then either you skimmed it or... well I wont be rude. But the entire novel was Stoker's thinly veiled attack against pornography (according to most Oxford Dons) and hundreds if not thousands of literary minds have written whole dissertations on...

So if I were to post images from "Interview with a Vampire" into that gallery, would that have been considered horror. Because it obviously had horror elements. Anne Rice even won the Bram Stoker award for the series. But is also HEAVILY based around the romances. At one point you even have...

I think you missed a core point BonsaiK was trying to make: the /blindly/ hating twilight bit. You sound as if you may have read the books, or at least read the wiki (or at the very least just regurgitating what others who did do the work have said). That would not be blindly hating something...

question: I just bought the DLC. Has the alien weapons improved at all, or do they still suck?

Lol, I was in the process of looking up links to source a paragraph just like this when I hit refresh. The vampire "trope" as we know it today is usually attributed to Stoker's "Dracula". However, Stoker was heavily influenced by Rymer's penny-dreadful series "Varney the Vampire" (no, i am not...
