"I’ve always found that “Scary or Horror” films are so contrived that there is nothing frightful about them."

Yes. Like the GEICO ad. --"A group of kids are running from a murderer in the middle of the woods when they stumble upon an old cabin. “Let’s hide in the attic. No, in the basement.” One woman starts breaking down into tears “Why can’t we just get in the running car?!” She is dismissed as crazy “Are you crazy?! Let’s hide behind the chainsaws.”

Yep.

There’s a huge difference between a Horror flick and a thriller.

I grew up with all the “Jason” movies etc, but none compare to a classic like “Gaslight” (1944).
