Any horror fanatics in the house?

[GrandizerII]

Generally speaking, I see horror movies as movies with the primary aim to induce in the viewer constant fear of the unknown or the supernatural throughout the movie. Unfortunately, a lot of horror movies (especially these days) do not succeed in doing so, and only end up being either campy or trying too hard. IMO, the best horror movies are ones that aim to spook you via your imagination, not by showing you gore or making you jump with shock. At least, you know the director and/or writer are putting in some considerable effort when they rely on your imagination to do the scaring and not on those silly modern horror movie cliches.
