Pure silence in a horror movie is a dead giveaway. Every once in a while I almost expect one of the characters to go "Hey, did it get quieter all of a sudden?" before something blasts onscreen and kills them with much goriness and blood and violence. When the music stops, something happens. Another giveaway is camera angles and the placement of a person's head in the shot. If there's sort of a little space to one side, you can tell something's going to pop out and kill them.
Sure, but then again, that's why so many horror movies out there are rubbish.

Really "good" horror flicks/animations in games can usually "fool" the audience. For example, the entire scene is silent instead of just the "scary" part, the camera moves with the character instead of placing this huge gap of space between the "spooky jump out thing" and the main character, etc. Of course, much can be said about using predictable cliches and still scaring the audience. Sometimes the most tense moment in a movie is when you know something is going to happen... you just don't know when.

It's good for your girlie to snuggle up real tight-like on you too.
