I stay away from the horror genre now, even though I enjoyed reading IT and watching The Shining and all those glorious slasher flicks from the 80s.
That's because I loaded the internet one day and I saw a guy holding another guy and he was sawing a blade across his throat and blood was gushing out and the second guy was gurgling and looking right at the camera as he died. And the horror came from the thought that if I booked a flight and rented a car and drove out to meet that first guy, he would saw off my head as well because he wouldn't be a Hollywood actor but a guy who saws people's heads off every day because it makes him feel good about his life.
