IMPO, 'scaryness' in movies is JUST suspense. Suspense and tension.

Thats it. Thats what makes you jump out of your seat.

I. E - It's not the fact of what the killer clown looks like, its the fact the killer clown jumps at you from nowhere.</font>
Actually, I'm talking about a different kind of scary - the scary that makes you walk out of the theatre and think about things. The kind of scary that makes you lie awake at night. For me, it would be films like the Exorcist or Stigmata (because I'm Catholic) or the first Nightmare on Elm Street that make you think about the movie and shiver - after you watched it. That's what I'm talking about. Totally different to a film like the Shining - not better or worse, just different.
