imo true horror needs to contain something that could possibly happen in real life. so that when you leave the theatre or turn off the tv your saying, man thats messed up, what if that happened to me. dont get me wrong, space aliens and killer dolls etc... can be frightening, but whats the chance of meeting one. thats why movies like texas chainsaw massacre (original), jaws, and psycho were so successful. stuff like that could possibly happen.
