What makes a horror movie scary?


People argue so much about horror movies, which ones are scary, which ones aren't; I'm just wondering, what makes a horror movie scary to YOU?

There's no definitive answer. Different things scare different people. I like a slow burn psychological horror with supernatural elements. Alluding to the supernatural without confirming it always works too such as The Blair Witch Project
