A scary movie is fun once in awhile. (wouldn't want to see one
every day)  I agree with Lady Godiva, blood and gore are
usually unnecessary, and oftentimes unpleasant to sit through,
especially when they are used in extremes for effect.
(gratuitous gore)

Some people go overboard on hating violence, though.  Take for
example "The Blues Brothers": lots of violence, but noone
ever gets hurt.  It's a riot to see Jake and Elwood get up
and dust themselves off after a building falls on them.
Yet some people don't like the movie because "It's too violent" ???
