Suspense and the mood just before a "scare" scene plays a big role, and these days they don't put much effort into that. BGM and SFX plays a role in scaring the audience too (i.e suspense music), and they're either inserted in the wrong scene or aren't played at all to fully utilise what it is that's going to scare you. Make-up, props and visual effects need to make the horror movie look as 'real' as possible, bad visual effects just makes you lose interest as the movie goes on.

The plots are rehashed or make less sense and they try to shock you with blood and guts instead of suspense. The only good thing is that the special effects have gotten better in horror movies today

Different spins on them, in my opinion. With the advance of movie making technology (ie: special effects) movie graphics look different than they did, say, 10-20 years ago.

Was there a time when it was okay to remake horror movies that were classics at the time? No 13. Why are horror movies different today? Too many of them focus purely on gore and try to be too over the top rather than being subtle and saying something interesting and original. Even the better special effects aren't necessarily an advantage as it can make film makers lazy, sometimes the lack of a big budget or easily available techniques seems to have made them more inventive.

Yes No Yes 13. Why are horror movies different today? A lot of them usually try too hard to make it scary. Like adding a bunch of guts and intestines everywhere doesn't make it scary...just more entertaining. To make something scary, you have to think outside of the box and put in something unexpected....
