The only horror films which *really* scared me were the ones I saw when I was a kid. They included: Blood Sucking Freaks - as well as horror, this also included depictions of S&M and other features I've now chosen to supress! The Omen I & II - the devilish smile and charm of the teenage Damien haunted me for quite a while. Scanner(?) - particularly the one scene where the man's head explodes into millions of pieces. Madman Mars - a cheap version of Friday 13th, but just as effective! And of course the halloween series... especially the one with Jamie Lee Curtis. Thanks to my childhood experience, I tend to stay away from the horror section at the video store. But I don't believe that good horror films have to really "scare the pants off the audience" - there are plenty of schlock horrors out there that have earned the respect of even the most die-hard of fans.
