I'll admit Slasher films just don't do anything for me. They've become so formulaic, it's all a big game of pointing at the screen and saying "he's dead / she's dead."
Least scary horror films?

Yup...and the reason for this is the dreadful PG13 stuff they show nowadays.
The 70's and 80's were the best years for horror.
Most films today get watered down to a PG13 rating which makes me think what's the hell is the point?
Horror movies are exactly that...horror...and meant to show everything in graphic detail. Awful, nasty things happen in real life that nobody likes but do they get watered down? No.
Ugh....

I don't find any of the 'slasher' films scarey ... grotesque at times, but not scarey.
The kind of films that gives me the willies are those like 'The Changling' ( with George C Scott ) or that film with Nicole Kidman where she and her children are in a 'haunted house' ( I can't remember the name now, but won't give the plot away incase some posters havn't seen it )
Subtle 'Ghost stories' give me the creeps.

Yes, it was. I saw it when I was 14 at the pictures with some frienRAB from school, when it was originally released (giving my age away here!). There had been religious people protesting outside the cinema saying how 'evil' the film was, so a fear is implanted in you before you even get to see the film.
It absolutely bloody terrified me and my frienRAB, and I couldn't watch it again for many years. When I see it now, it still conjures up the fear I felt as a 14 year old, even though I don't scare easily now.
I remember my mum saying a similar thing about Hitchcock's 'Psycho', how she was frightened watching it in the cinema and it still had that effect on her years later.
