What's really scary anymore?
Lately I've been finding a lot of the things that were frightening to me when I was young and rewatching them. The original Chainsaw, Last House On the Left, that screwed up X-files with the inbreeders, etc etc. and none of it seems remotely as shocking or disturbing as I remember it. That's to be expected I guess, I'm older and many of the things that were unthinkable back in the day are cliches now. My girlfriend upon watching Chainsaw after I built it up as the scariest mainstream movie I could think of was unimpressed. She said it reminded her of House of 1000 Corpses. Thanks Rob.
So anyway I guess what I want to hear is suggestions of things that will give me that same feeling I had when I was 12 and was more scared of monsters and psychos than power mad politicians and religious fanatics. Any suggestions?
