But what if it's an animated R-rated Horror film? For me, I say "Hell yeah!".

I doubt people will go see an R-rated animated HORROR movie. An animated horror movie would not get treated the same as a regular horror film. It wouldn't be taken seriously. As much as you might hate that, the general public will not take an animated horror movie seriously.

Are you kidding me? People are suckers for Horror films, any kind like those damn remakes.

I read it but I have to disagree, lately Horror films have been doing well so an Animated Horror film might get people's attention.

I doubt that very much, unless you went with computer animated, and even then that seems pointless, since most monsters and creatures, like in Silent Hill, are computer animated.

Like I said, I just don't see the general public taking an animated horror movie seriously.

Sinbad actually had some scary stuff. The monsters and so forth.

Even the battle scene in Antz was kinda frightening.

The general public would still go see a Horror film if it's 2-D animated or something.

The sequel is better. The first one was pretty much just the 2 guys talking. The second one is way more interesting.

Shy: I'm aware, but those weren't horror movies. Those were just intense scenes.

And I'm of the opinion, that they won't.

Your opinion but however, audiences today are suckers for Horror films like especially remakes like The Amityville Horror.

Agree or not, the facts are this:

The general public believes that animated films are for children. The people who see animated films are (for the most part) families with children.

The people who enjoy horror movies are obviously not children. Very few fans of horror movies will be interested in watching a "kid's cartoon" no matter what the genre.

So basically, animated movies are for kids, and R-rated horror movies are for adults. There's not too much crossover in those two audiences.

Maybe in Japan, where I understand there are lots of anime horror films, but not in America.

(By the way, I want to clarify that I don't believe animated films are only for kids. But a majority of American filmgoers do.)

Phil beat me to it.

(BTW, isn't some studio making a CGI horror film? Bone Saw or something?)

What does that have to do with an animated Horror film?

Same thing that "Son of the Mask" has to do with animated Disney sequels.

That certainly does make sense.

I don't know if anyone remembers but way back in 1997 there was an animated series on HBO modeled after the comic book "Spawn." There was some REALLY creepy stuff there, demons, hell, murderers, "suggested" sex. But it wasn't done all that well, it ended up being kinda "cartoony" despite the serious themes. And personally I couldn't understand three minutes of it. I think it was aimed towards hard-core fans, no doubt. It ended pretty quickly.

But it was also aimed at adults which is a very good idea since Spawn isn't exactly for kids and Spawn: TAS was aimed at kids, it could've been the worst show ever but thank god it didn't but you know, I think Todd MacFarlane should do a Disney animated Horror film if Disney allows that.
