Looking off of movies that have a different form of action in them, i was just thinking about this the other night. In your opinion, do you think some horror movies have action in them?
Let's say there's a movie where some madman is chasing down younger people. The madman is trying to take their lives. It usually gets your heart pumping, even though it's a scary situation.
As a member of the audience, you want the youngsters to survive, and a lot of times they plan out how to stop the madman, and in the end things can lead up to a cornering of the madman, and the end of the madman's life.
If you think a horror movie could be considered having action in them, which ones do you think could work well?
i think the Friday the 13th movies, the Halloween movies, and I Am Legend.

Good point. There's certainly a relationship there - the tension that builds can be similar in both styles and there's definitely movies that overlap. Now throw Jet Li in a horror film where he fights a monster in his style and now you're talkin!
Horror fans also really embrace Predator - even though that certainly is sci-fi as well. Mkunda and I were actually recently at a horror convention (Monster Mania) and you wouldn't believe the amount of Predator stuff that was there - including some incredible artwork.
