I'm not a big scary movie watcher. Freddy Krueger movies are so silly. Movies like the [Japanese] The Ring are interesting to watch as an art form, but I don't consider it scary. It's all getting your mind in a place of anticipating something horrible, then at the peak moment it's your mind takes what you see to an even higher, more "scary" plane than it's worth.
A long time ago, Candy Man left an impression on me. . .LOL, I never did get to finish watching it. I slept with a night light that night.
