^I find I'm hard to impress when it comes to horrifying. It often becomes over the top, like a movie that tries too hard. It's like if I feel too obvious that someone's trying to scare me, I think of it perhaps as contrived and get a little defensive. For me, I think it's generally better to use slightly more subtle ways to scare. If someone manages to sneak the scares past me, perhaps by appealing to some musical interest, it may be more effective.
