I like reading about Jack the Ripper. The whole story facinates me, especially since they never found who he really was. I used to read a lot about ghosts and the supernatural, but now I don't believe it's real. I hope that's not too wierd.

Doom and destruction . . . yippee!
I have a majorly twisted mind . . . when I write stories, I have so much fun torturing my characters, and I often kill them. Bwahaha.

I don't have a dark side. Or if I do, it's kind of grey. I get nightmares far too easily to enjoy scaring myself

***azalea*** · 03-20-2003, 03:31 PM

I've always loved "dark side" kind of stuff. As a kid I was into vampire lore, ghost stories, etc. Hey there used to be a show called The Dark Side! I loved it. It was kind of like the Twilight Zone.
I love mysteries, stories of the macabre, and weird histories, but I don't like slasher movies. Creepy stuff, but not gory stuff.

BeardofPants · 03-20-2003, 03:38 PM

Sure, I've read my share of Patricia Cornwell novels, and watched Crime Night on Discovery. I remember one particular case where some guy knocked up his maid, and killed her cos he didn't want his wife to find out. Anyway, he disposed of the body in a gallon drum, and filled it with stuff to hide the body... but then the drum was too heavy to move, so he stacked it under his house! Anyway, about 20 years later (I think) the new house owners opened the drum, and ....

They did catch the guy though: even though it was twenty years later. But then he killed himself. Coward.

I have studied about Vlad and Bathory, Ed Gein, Josph Mangula(??) WW II Nazi scientist, Albert Fish, and many others.

Not as much for my dark side though. I can't believe how cruel people really are, no fictional book or Hollywood movie can compare to the horrors that people have done to each other and to themselfs.

No, but I I know Ian Holm is in it; I'll probably wait till it's on TV. I like to read the books based of the known facts (usually), instead of Hollywood-based movies.

I think, inherently, most people have an interest in that kind of thing, from the amount of horror films/books/TV shows out there.

Well dont dismiss it outright just because its a movie. Its not the greatest movie in the world but its quite informative. The Holmes brothers did a pretty incredible job of research on it. Recreated the murder sites down to the coble stone. even had the bodies decked out in the appropriate ways. i definitely would NOT recommend watching it on TV. Part of what makes it so interesting is the detail which can be gruesome and they wont show on TV. Rent the DVD if you can because it has a disc describing all the possible suspects and the whole theory behind it and everything. its amazingly informative.

I have a strange fasination with the Nazgul... and murder mysteries.... especially when the person(s) in it is insane.

And the Sci-Fi Channel. Great stuff.

Lizra · 03-21-2003, 06:07 PM

That's it! I'm sure I have a hang-up on "The Light Side"! Those stupid nazgul pi** me off royally! My "Shield of Light and Goodness" is up....any dark evil wankers come near me, I'll kick their butts!

Keep your "dark" perversions in the closet!!

That's your idea of a dark side?

support_your_local_elf · 03-21-2003, 10:30 PM

Yep... *sigh* Guess I just really don't have one. *sigh again* I'm probably too much of a peaceful hippie to ever have a very prominent (sp?) one. Too bad.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-21-2003, 10:55 PM

Poor you....

You can have mine, I don't mind.

Ok....so I can't watch scary movies or read freaky books at night. But in the day.....Die, little minor character, die. Scream in agony and vivid detail, and all you other bit-characters die too!!! Mwahahahahaha!!! I AM an Evil Overlord!!!

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-22-2003, 12:06 AM

Revere? I don't think anyone said anything about THAT...

Aeryn · 03-22-2003, 04:50 AM

Well--it isn't any sort of sexual whatever you were implying Lizra

Or Revere Coney--Bad Coney, you must now have electric shocks...

I just think the characters can be deeper than the goody goody hero. How deep can a hero be? There is always a number of character development steps authors usually miss in making the bad guy, because the writing world is generally herocentric.

There is room for speculation with a Dark character. You can imagine why he/she is the way they are, how they could have been.

Plus--blood and gore is cool?

Death is fascinating really, I guess that's why I like horror movies and murder books, I want to be a mortician.

Don't make me mad, I may "experiment" on yah, and I'm running out of places to put the bodies...
