Bucky: Yeah, I'd say this type of movie is the most common horror movie nowadays. Rob: What type? Bucky: The people-getting-up-in-the-camera-and-screeching-like-bird genre. Rob: Well, that's ridiculous, it- Satchel: Hey guy! What's on? Bucky: Don't tell him, Rob! Let's test my theory... Guess the horror movie, Satchel: There's tons of people shoving their faces in the camera and screeching like birds... Satchel: Awww... I can't get it from that! They're all like that!
Bucky and Satch are right. The most frightening horror films don’t have screeching, just silent terror, like “The Haunting” with Julie Harris, from the Shirley Jackson story “The Haunting of Hill House” where you never see a monster or ghost.
