Never been a fan of the devil. These flicks get into your psyche and gnaw at you.

There is only one true movie that really freaked me out and that was The Blair Witch. Now of course many here would probably say “Why?” Well the fact that you could be out in the woods alone and someone is out there messing with you. Yeah no thanks 😳

0% Sci Fi. I always went for the old 'suspended hubcap' style of flying saucer films. "Invasion of The Saucermen" is still a campy movie that gives me the chills. Nothing beats a rubber, disembodied, crawling alien hand with an eyeball. 👽👍🏼

I really get freaked out by clowns and dolls that fall into the uncanny valley territory. Fun fact: I adore Killer Clowns from Outer Space! To me, those clowns are so over the top as to not be confused with humans. Go figure!

You don't know when or what is going to happen. The supernatural force is it good or evil.

70%... picked Psychological figuring it was where Duel (Dennis Weaver) would belong. Saw it as a kid & it scared me silly because every where we went in the family car there were tractor trailers around. Only movie that ever really scared me. Well, that & Creature From The Black Lagoon cause I watched it the first time I stayed home alone while my parents were out shopping, about age 7.

Scariest sub-genre of horror is stuff that could happen in real life, like nuclear war or domestic nuclear terrorism. If anyone is interested, here's a mostly forgotten made-for-TV movie that won four Emmys called Special Bulletin about domestic terrorists holding Charleston, SC hostage with a makeshift nuclear bomb. Here's a link to one of the versions on Youtube (with commercials): https://youtu.be/_o4EyFLenpo?si=GD92uacL2sT-nfuE&t=5

I agree, scariest are the ones that could actually happen. My favorite TZ episodes are ones that could happen

I love haunted house anything. True story:
Playing pool alone in my sister’s basement one afternoon when someone was ring the doorbell repeatedly. No one was at the door and the doorbell was removed from the wall years ago. Still gives me chills.

A case of "Ding-Dong Ditch". I don't think they mean to scare, only annoy the homeowner.
