I didn't fill out the poll because I couldn't decide. I don't watch horror movies too often, even though it's a genre that I like (zombie movies and monster movies are a definite favorite).
One of the things that ALWAYS gets me is when something innocuous jumps out (for example, a lot of horror movies use that old standard of having the characters frightened by a cat that leaps out from somewhere unexpected) -- even when I've seen a movie more than once and know that moment is coming, it still makes me jump in my seat!
oh, the jumpy things get to me too! (in so far that I get surprised and jump), but I don't necessarily get triggered by them after the initial surprise, if there is a creepy visual or a creepy sound accompanying it however, it will stay with me...
(I know, it sucks that I couldn't edit the poll, it was meant to have the ability of multiple choices)
