Thread: Alfred Hitchcock or Rob Zombie?

Tweet

Who do you think one is better? You see, Alfred was a man of mind thinking movies. While Rob was a man of pure awesomeness.

Now I want you to tell me who is the best?

both fused together to make one mega director

I've never seen a Rob Zombie film, but I love Hitchcock.

I love them both, my dog ain't getting in this fight.......

You've never seen House of 1000 Corpses? Oh Dear Heart, say it ain't so.........

Nope, sorry. Does this mean you're recommending it? What is it like? Does it have a plot, or just gore?

I'm not a movie buff like most people. There are tons of movies out there that "everyone" has seen, but I've never even thought about. I just don't get that much enjoyment out of watching a movie, unless it's one that specifically appeals to me because of its story or whatever else. People seem to think that's "not normal" but honestly, I just don't get what's sooooo great about watching every movie in existence. But that's just me. I do tend to be a bit more interested in old/classic movies, hence Hitchcock.

I'm not big on movies, either. I saw House of 1,000 Corpses when they had it on television and I was not impressed, to say the least. My friend gave me a copy of Rob Zombie's Halloween a couple of years ago, which I was also rather disappointed with. It seems like Zombie's obsessed with nudity and gore, then the story (almost always involving hillbillies) is an afterthought. No offense to anyone who likes his style, but it's an acquired taste, I'd have to say. I guess that means I would choose Hitchcock

Um, I'll go with Val Lewton...

Well, I don't understand some people enjoy Rob Zombie puts out. It's great that he remembers other actors that have contributed to horror in the past. As far as his music they like it as well.

Oh jeez. I'm already painfully indecisive, and then you go and hit us with a question like this...

I have Zombie tunes on my phone, a Zombie t-shirt that is one of my favorites and Devil's Rejects (in my opinion) is one of the best horror movies I've ever seen.

However, I LOVE the classy, refined nature of Hitchcock films and productions and I'm in the middle of thoroughly enjoying the compilation of his chosen Tales of Terror.

Basically, this is impossible. I am going to back away slowly from this thread.

apples and oranges, my friend

...but Hitch is the orange and it tastes better
