Horror Films: Scary or Cheesy?

Remember when you were a little tyke, you used to be scared of going to halloween stores, knowing that the monsters you saw on the TV were out to get you? When you used to be scared of clowns and porcelain dolls because It and Chucky. And remember closing your eyes whenever watching a scary movie?
I noticed that as we are in a new genration, there has been a downfall with horror films. Most of the films add comedy to it or they're unoriginal.
Look at this for example:
The Exorcist


Vs.
The Last Exorcism





The Poltergeist

Vs.

Paranormal Activity

They're all the same plot: There's some sort of psycho that chooses a family to terrorize, nearly everyone dies, the main character lives, the antagonist(s) "dies", they all Live happily ever after, the antagonist(s) comes back to life. And they're starting to add sex/comedy scenes too. I want my horror films to scare the crap out of people, not to turn them on. I miss seeing good old scary movies.

  1. ~I've heard Paranormal Activity is great. I've seen people's reaction seeing it and it really seems sick. But maybe it's just another epic fail :D
