I didn't say you insulted them, I just said I had a difference of opinion Wink

As for suggestions? Why not make your own?

I can't speak for him/her, but I couldn't make one to save my life (without sacrificing my other projects). Not everyone's as skilled in creating atmosphere as FG, and I'm sure that many people here aren't pros at advanced computer use. Smile

Please don't make it sound as if that's the only kind of horror out there, because that's simply absurd, different things are scary for different people.

It's not the only kind of horror, and I agree with you in that different things scare different people. But that wasn't what I had said. I said that horror is about atmosphere over obstacle. To use a horrible but very obvious comparison, look at Silence of the Lambs vs Die Hard. A single (couple, if you include Bill) serial killer is less of a direct obstacle than a bunch of terrorists in an enclosed space. The horror genre is built on atmosphere and making viewers uncomfortable, approaching fear from a certain perspective. You can have scary situations outside horror, like a disaster movie, a violent action film, etc. I used horror as a genre, instead of a synonym to 'fear.'
