What Scares You?
This is a very serious question as I am doing research for my movie. I want to make it generally scary. So...for all you horror film fans, what
scares you? Please be serious and keep any jokes to a minimum. Thanks guys.
-Joe

Deep water.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

Zombies. Seriously, the idea of dead people rising from the grave and trying to eat me is disturbing.

spiders, snakes, sharks, open windows while sleeping, heights,

maybe i wasn't totally clear or i'm just confused. if i'm confused then ignore me. i didn't mean what scared you in real life (you don't often see
heights as part of a horror movie). i meant what scares you in horror movies, if you've been scared by a horror movie. i appreciate everyone's
answers so far. you guys fucking rock.

That disembodied eye looking through a hole or something has always freaked me out. You know, something on the other side of something, but you don't
know what it is. They did a good job of it in "Signs" (i think thats what it was, the Mel Gibson crop circle movie.)
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

Uncertanty. Creating a sense of something very powerful grabbing and ripping you up while you are defenseless.

second part of the question: can you guys when something is gonna happen in a horror movie? also, does that make it less scary, more scary, etc?
thirdly, what usually gives it away?

i find alot of movies predictable.
just from seeing so many and reading allot
if the movie is cool overall, it doesnt bother me too much.
i mean halloween type movies are always predictable.
i find it more annoying when reading a book and predicting the outcome because it is more time spent on it

I think its the anticipation that freaks you out, the build-up so to speak. You know something is about to happen, but not what. Its the uncertainty
that is unnerving.
And sometimes nothing happens and you kind of go WTF, and then 10 seconds later all hell breaks loose and you crap yourself. The music can sometimes
be a giveaway.
Hey, Joe is this for a horror film or psychology course, oh wait, they're the same thing.

definitely. one of my favorite scenes ever is the one in silence of the lambs where clarice is groping blindly in the dark and buffalo bill is
watching her. the buildup on that one is flat out fucking intense.

fire, but I?m just not close enough to get the job done.? George Carlin

i'm actually trying to write a zombie horror film and want to genuinely scare the shit out of people, not just have mindless gore for 2 hours.

i'm more of an old school zombie fan. i didn't like them quick. didn't make sense. it made sense in the 28 Days/Weeks Later area because they
weren't zombies.

28 Weeks Later. The whole subway scene. Trying to get diwn those stairs and then find eachother in complete darkness. That was tense as hell.
Anything that makes for an extremely tense scenario, silence, extreme darkness, etc. Also 1 or 2 extremely violent makes for a far more shocking
movie than 2 hours of nothing but gore.
