@Phosphor: Excellent point. I pesonally just find it odd that, after watching a 90 minute movie in which someone dies at the end (or even in which someone is joyously reunited with a lost love) can really tug at the emotions any better. I mean, I've spent all of 90's getting to know these characters, and I really feel their pain, joy, etc. Yet, even the well done horror movies don't inspire the fear that the characters feel in me. Just find it odd.
Guess I'm just fearless, eh? *strikes a triumphant pose*
