I Loved the Old Scary Movies

scary movies these days what do they have 
all the ones i've seen lately only made me luagh
what happened to the ones that really chilled your bones
 like when we were kids watching twilight zone

or when jason and micheal first came out 
those are the movies that i'm talking about 
horror today aren't suppose to be like this
they think it wont sell without a comic twist

i want a movie that'll make me jump from my seat
 you know the kind that will have you afraid to go to sleep
you remember the first walking dead movie they made
now that's when zombies had you really afraid 

what about the first hellrasier that came on the screen
now that guy was really mean
but they dont make those kind anymore 
or atleast they are not as scary as thay were before

I totally agree! I am a huge fan of the classic horror films. And, these new "scary" movies just cannot compare! Great write here! I am also a fan of darker poetry, as well. By the way, thank you for your kind comments on my poem, "The Real Me". I appreciate it!
