Questionnaire, about horror?

how about a teenage kid and his parents in a suspensful but not overly gorey and exciting. I think you're thinking too "now", think about movies today, they suck. Think "then", when movies werent just a ton of popups and no character development. Get to know your characters, then kill them off, that's always good. Surprise people, make them afraid to go home alone, make them afraid to go fall asleep, make them afraid to look in a mirror, or ride in an elevator! Create something memorable.
