We need to get back to the good ole times of real horror movies.  They used 
to go so far as to vibrate the theatre seats, bring in props while the 
movie was playing, etc.  I'm not from that age, but I've seen and heard all 
the stories.  If you're over 30, you've probably seen it all, so it takes a 
pretty freaky movie to raise my brow.  I end up laughing or giggling during 
most of today's horror movies.

Special effects are totally OUT for me with horror movies.  That is, all of 
the new digital effects you see in the more expensive movies.  They can 
keep them.  If I can tell it's digital, it's not working, and even with an 
R rating, it seems that the movie might have been aimed at kids who know 
nothing about the digital effects fad of today's movies.  Now, I'm 
expecting to see them, and sure enough, there's an obvious effect that 
kills the whole movie for me.

Might I suggest two horror movies that work without special effects... and 
they are Jeepers Creepers II, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre II.  Those 
are definately the kind of movies for the couch date.
