The scariest horror movies tap into Judeo-Christian myth, because Judeo-Christian myth happens to be true.

I tend to agree with this. And in most polls, "The Exorcist" is voted the scariest movie of all time.

However, if this is true, then I can't help but wonder why more movies don't deal with Judeo-Christian reality _explicitly_. ("The Exorcist" was _more_ explicitly religious than most movies, however even that movie had little in common with the way exorcisms are depicted in Scripture.)
