Whatever it is,The Strangershad enough of it to do incredibly well at the box office.
That the question interests me shouldnt amaze anyone, since Ive worked in the scare-em-silly field for years.
As forThe X-Files(out July 25)?

Children, I have my doubts.
Those movies blast our emotions and imaginations, instead of caressing them with a knife edge.
The scariest sequence I can remember is inNight of the Living Dead.
She locks herself in only to discover her brother has taken the keys.
The zombie reaches down, finds a rock, and begins to bash it strengthlessly against the car window.
The first time I saw this (and twice after), the scene reduced me to jelly.
Of Foxs two summer creepshows, give the edge toThe Happening, partly becauseM.
And, happily,Happeningplays as a relatively small movie.
Is there a serial killer?
Then his mommy didnt love him (insert flashback).
A monster from outer space?
Why are you doing this to us?
In the end, thats all the explanation a good horror film needs.
