Horror Movies, boo! Options

[Katie]

Who doesn't love them? I used to be hesitant to watch horror flicks, but now I can't stop. Not new ones, though. The whole "jump-out" scaring thing is so stupid and unsatisfying, but the good old fashioned Stephen King's or Hitchcock's and others are really great. In fact, I'm in the middle of Misery and finished Christine this afternoon. Misery is much better. :D

So, what's y'all's opinion on horror movies? Like them, or can't bear to watch them? Are the new ones getting too cliché and dumb? Or does the monster popping out from behind a corner get you amped?

Discuss! ;]

The only "horror" show that I actually enjoyed was the Exorcism of Emily Rose. It wasn't that scary but it was scary enough to make me jump, didn't give me nightmares, and actually had a plot.
I don't watch "gorey" shows (the Saw movies, Hostel movies, etc.), so I really don't watch too many horrors. There have been a few shows that I just couldn't finish watching:
-Texas Chainsaw Massacre
-House of Wax (I don't know what's wrong with me, but when he starts peeling his own skin off it just made me sick)
-Silence of the Lambs (I just... couldn't.)
