How to become a horror buff

This is a basic 3 step process.

Step 1: research
Step 2: watch
Step 3: repeat

That's right it's like washing your hair... No? You don't get it? Ok becoming then.

So if you wanna be a horror buff you need to know horror. Research horror genres. there's plenty! There's classic horror that's your creature from the black lagoon,  the evil brain from outer space stuff like that. then there's cult horror which can be classic or modern these are your most known horrors like night of the living dead, the blob, wolf man, Dracula, exorcist anything well known. Then there's scifi horror that's your radioactive slime and aliens and stuff. then there's psychological thriller that's your crazy person movies like shutter island, the ward some say the shining ect. There us also slasher horrors like Friday the 13th, Halloween, nightmare on elm street. The list goes on and on. get to know your genres it's the first way you interact with a film.

Then you have to watch the films. do this over and over if you have to! Go to Walmart and buy a 50 film collection for $5! That's not much and it gets you started! You could get a Netflix subscriptions and Keep renewing it with different emails idc just watch some movies man. That's the best way to be a horror buff just know everything about every movie ever made in horror. Look on YouTube!

Then repeat. To be a buff you have yo continuously do it. Go see the movies when they come out watch them on TV there's so many horror films its hard to watch every single one all at once. You could be an expert at paranormal thrillers like paranormal activity and night of the demons or whatever but if you don't know the classics our refuse to watch zombie movies then other horror buffs won't take you seriously.

So get out there and be a nerd! =B
