The killer can just pop out of no where at any given time in the movie."

Reyna Calel, a junior sociology major, said, "The movies now a day aren't scary; I like the old scary movies like Freddy and child's play." Meanwhile, freshman Marysia Daly, an elementary education major, said, "The new scary movies are scarier than the old ones; the Freddy movies are great but the new Freddy vs. Jason was just really scary."

Some of the more modern scary movies like "The Ring," and the upcoming remake of "The Texas Chainsaw
