I dont watch horror movies anymore because they're all stuff and rely way too much on jump scares.
All of my thoughts.
I liked movies like Halloween and The Thing because more than half of the movie is about the creepiness. In The Thing, there are very few jump scares. It's scary because of the fact that 'The Thing' could be anyone. You don't know who is going to jump out and eat you. Like the part where three of the men are outside in the blizzard and one says "I want to check my cabin" the other asks "What for?" "Because I didn't leave my light on when I left yesterday."
It's creepy not because you are always getting ready for the next jump scare, but because of the fact that you don't know what is going to happen next.
