I have not seen every scary movie. In the older ones, it was a woman looking off screen with a horrified look on her face. She would raise a hand as if to cover her eyes or maybe her mouth. She is unsure of what to do. Her eyes get wider and she screams fade to black. I have not seen any of the OMG movies.

Why do people continue to call them "scary movies" even though most of them are not scary?

Mebe cause some of them are. What is scary is as subjective as what is beautiful.

Well, this is quite a coincidence. I was making some avatars today from various movies and this is one of the screencaps i took.

Dario Argento rules, but of course in his movies there´s no fade to black. Instead there´s closeups of sharp objects puncturing internal organs.

:Horror movies are rarely cast with great acting talent. That is how they are trained, to pretend they are scared, like a shocked & pretrified character that stands there waiting to be killed too. Much like the lame Soap Opera actors who stand there making the "I smelled a fart" face. The whole horror genre is built on cliche, like in the Scream series where a characters even repeatedly goes over the "rules of horror movies".

I'll be right back! Haha
