But comedy simply ruins the point, and as Legogod said, the decision has been made. EDIT: MPfisto put it rather well.

Right you are:

Maybe I didn't explain that clear enough. Horrors great, so is comedy, but I think that these films should contain more horror than humour, but at the same time I don't think it should be all horror from start to finish unless someone does it well. I like films with little/no humour and loads of horror, like 'Alien'. But I think lego films seem to work better if they have a few gags. But have the gags in the un scary scenes.

Like have a few gags before some friends go into a haunted house, before any scary scenes comes. Then, after that have the whole thing scary when they go into the haunted house, so the humour doesn't ruin the scary scenes. Terrible example I know, but I think that the majority should be scary, not let the humour take over. I don't think I explained that well enough in my first post.

So I say humour which doesn't distract from the horror. Like having a big long tense bit where somethings about to run round the corner and after all that it turns out to be something silly. Thats not what I mean, that ruins the horror bits.
I'm glad the theme has been decided, I'll start to think of some horror.

If someone wants to put humour he just put it. Lego or not, it's the director who chooses. It is allowed, but in the way you say it it looks like you want it to be obligatory. Maybe I misunderstood your post, if that's the case, I'm sorry.
The fact that lego works better with comedy is quite true, but that doesn't mean one can't make a 0% comedy movie that work. It depends on the story and on how well the movie is directed.
I think that we can't decide what's our favourite genre to do until we tried out all of them: I'm saying this because some said "I prefer doing comedy", and they probably never tried something different. This contest could be an excuse to try other things. Although we still don't know the theme, the movie doesn't necessary need a monster, or blood, so you can also try different types of horror (if you want).

And you can't like, prevent someone from making a schmalarious film, and you can't prevent them from winning if their film also is a really well done horror film.

I would appreciate for once if people took note of my posts.

I said that on the FIRST PAGE.

The effect you've put on that banner is really cool, but the typeface isn't scary enough. Have a look through DaFont's horror section.

To be honest, Frankenstein isn't that creepy unless you're really young. Yeah, it will certainly be a challenge to put fear in the viewer. Guys, when doing serious horror, avoid gore. Gore really doesn't help the film at all unless you're doing a cheesy b-movie. But keep blood to a minimum. It's pretty much a fact that the less gore, makes a more effective death.

Is yew in need of a banner?

A very simple banner I made.

The quality was worsened by the internet.
