horror movies is wrong to laugh at them

[RustyAlchemist]

Seeing trailers for Titanic in 3d a while back, I remember with a horrible sense of shame how I ended getting thrown out of the cinema years ago as a kid for laughing at a particular serious scene. The scene is when the Titanic is starting to lift up as it is sinking . At this point you see people falling, all graphic stuff until at one point you see one guy fall, and I blame the sound department for this, he hits the propeller blade with a very loud comical thunk and bounces off limp as he cartwheels into the ocean. This point I break into laughter by this very badly performed death sequence that broke the flow of the seriousness f the situation.

The sad thing was I laughed for a few seconds before I was forced to leave because and I quoth 'I was being offensive towards the history being portrayed' . Maybe it's bad to laugh at death and horror, but it's the studios fault if they don't know how to treat the situation.

I was laughing at the end of Paranormal activity 1 after the chick was dragged out of bed (even though it looked liked she fell out of bed...) because she looked like a rag doll and the sound of her head hitting the floor was funny

You take life too seriously if you don't laugh at some of the horror movies out there. I sometimes watch random ones with friends and we're so detached from the environment the movie is trying to portray that we take bets on who dies first and how. It's also a solid fact that some horror movies out there have to have an audience that makes fun of it and talk during it. It's the only type of movie where people talking makes the experience better.

There's also nervous laughter. That's okay, too.


But then, yeah, certain movies... Horrifying Historical War movies, in particular, are generally not something to laugh at. And whoever does deserves a punch in the face.
