If there is a zombie outbreak, vampire crisis , or demon infestation you're positive you would know exactly what to do to kill them or at the very least survive.

Rock on horror fans!

Things that piss me off.
When my friends talk about a remake, having not known there was an original.
When people say "Paranormal Craptivity" is the scariest thing ever. Hell I knew people who couldnt sleep after watching the trailer for the first Human Centipede.
Two words. Chainsaw. And Hockey Mask. The most infuriating combination in the book, constantly used in pop culture, and as a result, the amount of people who try to convince me that Jason has a chainsaw is infuriating.

When your English teacher asks you to write a piece on your holidays, and you write about the arrival of your copy of Street Trash.

It's very dramatic because we had to make it sound interesting, and its about 245 words. It's around here somewhere....

"During the holidays, in fact, during the very first day of the holidays, a package arrived through my letterbox, which I was expecting. But I was expecting 5 DVDs, not 3. But anyway, inside this package, these DVDs, was TRASH, but a special kind of trash. Trashy movies, with atrocious (poor) acting, horrible scripts, occasional boobage, and tremendous amounts of stomach churning gore. And also to be literal, one of the movies was called Street Trash.

From the moment I picked up this DVD, I knew I was in for something special. Reading the tag line, a grin spread across my face: "Prepare for a MOLTEN HOBO HOLOCAUST!!" the cover screamed in lurid red writing. An illustration shows a mans arm tearing away from his body as he melts into a toilet as technicolor fluids spray everywhere. "I don't understand why you enjoy bad movies" mum states. She'll never get it.

The plot is simple, the film follows several hobo friends in the bad part of New York, who discover a strange discount wine called "Tenafly Viper", which upon drinking causes a person to melt horribly into acidic Technicolor goo's.

To put it simply, the movie is absolute garbage, almost like a comedy, filled with horrible gore and bad taste humor. But this is the kind of stuff I love, that I search for and import from other countries to obtain. And I'd rather watch this amazing garbage than an Oscar winner any day."

And there you have it. Not sure of the mark yet.

Edit: Oh and the "atrocious (poor)" thing was because we had to take a adjective, and put a simple version next to it.

Very good, although as someone who used to be a teacher, I am not sure about what grade I would give you!

However, there is something that I need to question (quoted above):

is 'boobage' an actual word?

When I was transitioning, my sister used to talk about my boobage - ie growth and size - but I wouldn't accept that it is a proper word becauseI thought it was something that was a 'catch-all' description for a female bust

So...is it real, or is it something that you have heard on a forum/taken as gospel, or do I need to give my sis a big hug, kiss and apology?

It's a word I use as a joke to describe nudity.

I have no idea if it's real, I've probably heard it somewhere. This was to be graded by friends on how entertaining it was, best grade got a prize.
So I don't think your sisters going to be getting that kiss and hug

You know you're a horror fan when you feel you have to correct people when they say things like, "Oh, I love Vincent Price and all those Hammer films he was in".In fact, I feel the need to correct people when they refer to any non-Hammer British horror film made in the 60s or 70s as a Hammer film.I'm a complete pedant when it comes to one of my favourite subjects.
