I was wondering if there could be a horror movie caterogy for movies like Frankenstien and Dracula I'm a fan of Dracula myself And frankenstein So do you think this is a good idea, [you]? Note, I got the (you) tag on so if it should show your name only.

It might be a good idea.. but I think we'd have to distinguish what the broad definitions of fantasy, sci-fi and horror are. (Haha. I wondered why I thought you were talking to me. )

Yeah like said above horror films can fit into other categories too like fantasy and science fiction.

I'm not so sure a horror category would warrant itself more then a horror board would - but either would depend on how much interest there is. If a horror board was created, it would likely go into the current fantasy category, with the category being renamed while the Astronomers Sector board being moved into the general talk category. I think that would be more organized and make a little more sense. What do you guys think? There's also a lot of grey in the distinctions between horror, science fiction, and fantasy. In the past, a few horror topics have showed up in the science fiction movie boards, but why not, there was really no where else to put. Alien is a science fiction movie, but many consider it to be a horror movie. So I guess it would be scifihorror? The reason it's considered science fiction here is because it takes place in space, and the creature is an alien, as opposed to something like a vampire or Freddy. By the same token, Starship Trooper would be considered science fiction. But what about things like Night of the Living Dead? If I remember, wasn't the dead coming back to life as zombies because of some sort of radiation from a meteorite? Or something like that? So would that make the Night of the Living Dead franchise horror or science fiction?

Maybe making the horror board a sub-board of the Realm of Fantasy? There is really a thin line between fantasy, horror and sci-fi.

Kmylove, what I was thinking about moving the astronomer's board, if we create a horror board in the fantasy section, then that section would basically become a category for cousins of science fiction, which are both fantasy and horror genres. Therefore, the astronomer's board really wouldn't fit into that category. While there is a VERY thin line, horror and fantasy are two very different genres, so that's why I wouldn't want to make it into a sub-board in the fantasy section.
However it ends up, you guys are interested in a horror board?

If you put it this way, you're right, the Astronomer's Section wouldn't fit too much there. A horror board would be a good idea

I'm going to go ahead and give the horror board a trial run. At this point, I'm still undecided with that to do with the astronomer's board; re-name the category "Horror, Fantasy & Imagination" or move the astronomer's board into the entertainment section and re-name that.

If you're going to just put the horror board into the Imagination & Fantasy category I don't think there is that much need to really rename it, to be honest. Unless you just want to add horror so that it says "Imagination, Fantasy & Horror".
It also depends on if what you're going to do with the astronomy board (of which the description and title needs sorting, you told me, if I remember rightly) which we talked about the other day.

I thought "Supernatural" but I'm not sure if that covers everything, lol....
Or just "Fantasy and Horror". To me imagination is almost equal to fantasy.
New idea:
To keep in Fantasy, horror and astronomy.. how about something like...
"The unexplained" or .... you know, something like that, lol.
Since sci-fi, while mostly fake, is usually explained with some fact, but fantastical things are purely fiction...
