1957 horror move "Night of the Demon"

I haven't watched the movie (like I haven't watched pre-70s movies much), but my general opinion about showing or not showing the creatures in horror movies briefly is: "It depends". I think in some movies, not showing the horrifying creature is actually taking the easy way out. While, in some, it really adds to the mysterious and scary aspect of the movie.

Yet, the worst was The Blair Witch Project and that kind of horror. Even worse than Paranormal Activity crap, which is actually inspired by TBWP but with an actual supernatural element. Far from being scary, actually boring as a cheap soap opera, I'd say. A TBWP fan commenter wrote somewhere something like: "There was utter silence in the movie theater", to amplify his view about the movie and how breathtakingly scary the movie is and how the people watching it were nailed to their seats only gasping. One other guy, my hero, answered like: "There was utter silence, yes; as people in the cinema were in a deep sleep out of boredom". Hahah, it was a nice one. 

I understand you. And yes, lots of people were really impressed and "nailed to their seats" because they were scared. I'm among the minority, in this sense, seemingly. That's why I called the other commenter "my hero", s/he made me feel I'm not alone. BTW, our cultures are very different country wise. I love your music, some of your films; but not your humour, as far as I've watched. Your horror? I guess, some of them appeal to my taste. I'm not a typical Turkish guy, by the way. There are people that like your humour here, but Greek and German humour is not my thing. Or perhaps, I haven't met the type(s) that would suit my liking, yet.

^ It doesn't have embedded subtitles, nor could I find a way or button to add subtitles to the video.

This is exactly the type of German humour that I don't find funny at all.

I don't find your taste about humour "inferior" or something, tastes are tastes. As long as a type of humour makes us laugh, it's just what that matters for oneself. Everybody deserves to laugh and enjoy life, and happy for you that you have this kind of humour to provide that. Honestly, it is not about the fact that our cultures are different, for me. Turkish culture is probably MUCH more different  than Japanese culture; than that of German culture, but I find some of their stuff funny. Just a matter of taste, I think.

I have only seen the version with the demon over the tracks,,,it did look a little fake during the close up...maybe they should have had more fog or smoke on it so it was more unclear.
