WHAT GRINDS OUR GEARS? Jump scares and unnecessary gore in horror movies When I tell people I like horror movies, I mean horror movies. I want the horrific, the macabre, and the downright disturbing. What I don’t want is gore so graphic that it borders on kinky. Too often, the blood and guts seem like they’re there purely for shock value, rather than genuine audience terror. The same goes for jump scares. They’re a lazy way of scaring the audience that just makes for an unmemorable kind of adrenaline. I want to feel emotionally uncomfortable, not just as if my roommate snuck up on me in the kitchen. These tired-ass tropes hardly constitute a horror movie. At best, they’re barely bearable, and the movie will only be remembered for odd torture porn. At worst, they make a movie tedious and nauseating to watch. Few horror movies know the right ways to build tension and fear, and the films that fail at this also fail to separate themselves from the cheap scares you could find across the Internet.

Paranormal Activity SFU students tell us their personal scary stories
What’s scarier: a squirrel or a sawed-off shotgun? Written by Maxwell Gawlick, Jennifer Low, Gabrielle McLaren, Zach Siddiqui, Lauren Wallace, and Winona Young
My cousins and I went ghost hunting in Winnipeg , once . I suffer from frequent episodes of sleep paralysis , and by far the scariest experience I ve had was five years ago .
wy
When I was younger , we were living a pretty idyllic nuclear family life in Victoria , and had just moved to a house that needed a lot of repairs .

Gm
Once when I was little , I was startled awake in the, middle of the night with a shiver down my spine and the feeling I d been awoken by a loud sound .
jl One winter day, there came a tap, tap, tapping at my window. Perched on the sill , staring straight at me , was a squirrel .
Some ouija board horror stories happen in the dead of night as you ask, the spirits to confirm their RSVP to your sleepover some happen in overly gory B movies and some happen before you even get the ouija board .
