What type of horror scares you the most?

And why? :)

For me is it's psychological horror, espcially where it manages to convey feelings of isolation and hopelessness. Although few things manage to scare me these days.

Except some horror games, the immersion makes it much worse, scares the socks right off :)

I dunno, it doesn't necessarily scare me, but Cosmic/Lovecraftian Horror does give me a huge sense of dread/hopelessness when I'm really into the story. It's an interesting feeling so I actually like this genre the most.

@SW-User I love that stuff, and the feeling of dread like that. If you like that you should look into W40k, which might be the most daunting thing you've ever done lol. In terms of darkness and overall uniqueness there's nothing like it :)
The ultimate cosmic horror setting.

@SW-User Lovecraft is excellent. Not scary exactly, but certainly elicits some sort of reaction.
