And that's another thing. Scary doesn't necessarily mean big BOO!! moments, although too many people seem to think that's what it is.
Scary is something that stays with you ......

Definitely true. If you can tune into old-school spook movies, it's a good thing. They often operated on a subtler level than today's jump-at-ya films. It's not so much about sudden loud noises that jolt you or effects leaping out of the darkness right in front of your face. Quite often this sort of film would get you worried about something you couldn't see but which you were quite certain was there. The original "The Haunting" is a good film--well, I know at least one person here doesn't like it, but he's okay, anyway, I still respect him. Ha ha!
