Scary Movie

I've stated many times that I am not an avid horror film fan.  Scary movies make my mind unsettled for days and going to sleep is harder than usual.  However, I can honestly say that there is a movie out there that actually does scare me, but I feel like it won't haunt me.  Nightmare on Elm Street is your typical 80s movie.  Big hair, bad effects, and techno music litter most of the movie.  I was honestly surprised because it defies so many movies that are out today.  It shows how much the movie industry has really changed in 20 years.  The villain himself, with his knives that screech, his striped shirt, and his infamous hat, scared me.  The thought of a murderer coming in to my dreams and stripping me of my sleep absolutely terrified me.  But I think the mix of all the bad elements with all the scary elements definitely made me make a joke of the movie more.  I wonder what people will think of our movies from this era?  Will they seem as badly made too?
