I don’t usually see horror movies now. They’re too scary, which sounds like a joke but I really feel like I can’t take the suspense and I don’t want to get nightmares.
When I was younger, I used to like the “Friday the 13th” movies. I also saw one once called “Terror Train” which I remember was good and my teenage brain thought it had a good story, too. There was one I saw as a teenager which was something about a babysitter and the phone ringing, saying “have you checked the children?” Then she called 911 and the operator told her “the calls are coming from within the house” and that was a really scary thing, for me, at the time.
I remember the newer version of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” being very scary, I thought. I saw the beginning of “The Hills Have Eyes” but I shut it off.
One that was creepy but not terribly scary (so really hota horror movie) was “The Others” with Nicole Kidman.
