There are a few exceptions to this rule
I hope the British version of The Office makes the cut!
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

On the scary movies front, I agree with The Blair Witch Project (I found the whole thing scary as shit).
In Scream (which I generally didn't find scary), I was freaked out by the dude in the bathroom stall. I still think about that when I'm in the restroom at work. Another movie that I remember being terrifying was The Last House On the Left.

I missed the first five-ten minutes of Blair Witch, so basically all of the exposition. This made 3/4ths of the movie really boring and mildly confusing. The last bit, though... the friend I was with noticed my tension, and at a moment when nothing was happening, he grabbed me and said boo, and I shrieked like... well, like a girl. The running pell-mell down the stairs gave me a nightmare or two.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
If anyone's really bothered by scary scenes from recent horror movies, I recommend watching the appropriate Scary Movie spoof which will puncture the tension of aforementioned scenes like a needle through a balloon. The most recent one skewered Signs, The Ring, The Others, The Matrix and 8 Mile.

Matt speaks the truth. GC mentioned the bathroom scene and all I could picture was the parallel from Scary Movie.
Just watched Finding Neverland. Beautiful movie.

Yeah, the terror pretty much dissipates when you've seen it re-enacted with Shawn Wayans and really tasteless penis sight gags added.

I need to watch it then cause when I'm alone in the bathroom at work, I hurry through my hand washing so the scary mask dude won't get me.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
It's been ages since I've seen Se7en. Can someone please whitefont for me how the hooker dies?

Se7en hooker death - Kevin Spacey dude forces a guy to rape her with a dildo fashioned into a knife.
IIRC. Haven't seen it in a while.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Paramount is in final negotiations with Layer Cake director Matthew Vaughn to direct and produce a screen version of Neil Gaiman’s Stardust, about “a young man who promises his beloved that he'll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm, where he has to contend with witches, goblins, gnomes, talking animals and evil trees.” One Ring nerds everywhere go on a cloak dry-cleaning frenzy.
Variety article -- to which I can't get, but there you go.
