A poll of sorts.

Who here has read Cabal, by Clive Barker, or seen the movie based on the book (which was titled Nightbreed)?

Comment amnesty is on, this is a fact-finding expedition.

Nope. Can't handle horror of any kind. I am a coward and easily frightened/spooked. I still have nightmares after watching Pink Floyd's The Wall 30 years ago, and it isn't strictly horror. Couldn't even do simple cult classics like Nightmare on Elm St, Friday the 13th and the like. Sorry.

To be fair, The Wall gives lots of people nightmares, it's not a horror movie but the themes are horrific and they throw in such wacky animation that it lingers in the back of your mind for decades.

Doesn't keep me from loving the movie, but I do know others that feel as you do, it caused them nightmares.

Wow - I thought I was the only one who couldn't handle The Wall.

Put me in the no on both accounts category and the no horror category in general. I read It by Steven King when it came out (I was working in a bookstore at the time) and only got about half-way through. Just not my genre, although I did read the Newsflesh trilogy.
