The horror industry is one of the largest and most successful with franchises like Saw, Scream, Friday the 13th, and Halloween having overall grosses in the hundreds of millions to even the billions, so their impact on society isn't really questionable. They've implanted terrifying ideas into our minds and brought horror mainstream. We've had a wide variety of different horror movies, but which cliché gets your heart pumping the most?

demonic children

Basement scenes
Somebody being in a house or school alone

Poll added, I tried not to get too detailed. Just picture which situation you'd hate to be in the most.

I think the worst for me would be demons, the thought of having absolutely ZERO control over the situation would eat away at me

Ghosts and demons because I believe they exist.

Ghosts and demons because my recurrent experiences with sleep paralysis has me believing that some kind of demonic entity attempts to possess me every night.



While not particularly scary in itself, "The Last Girl" scenario is something that I wouldn't ever want to be a part of if there was an insane murderer loose.

Torture fetish

Torture Fetish is scary gross
unlike Demons and Ghosts are scary scary because they're real

Aliens

People breaking in

A possessed white girl.

Idk why but I've always been afraid of zombies. The fact that they come in packs (PS I love The Walking Dead)

The apocalypse scares the **** outta me too

I actually wouldn't mind a zombie apocalypse because the idea of kicking the **** out of the zombified and the insane appeals to me.

Demonic children, and ghosts Something about them seem have a poss to be real unlike Vamps, Mummies.

Torture fetish is just vile. I don't use.

Ikr, being able to do target practice on some subhuman imbeciles, sound awesome tbh

Torture Fetish

I don't think torture fetish films like the movie Saw are scary, they're just ****ing disgusting.
