The thing about horror movies, it's full of stupid heroes and heroines that are unbelievably naive and inept at just about everything except screaming. I don't want to watch some foolish person run away from this crazy super strong killing machine or whatever, it's one sided and totally lame.
I mean, the Smiley guy from Psycho moves at like 10-20mph or whatever, and it's supposed to be a human in a disguise? It makes no sense.
Sci-Fi Horror is a lot better. Alien and Pitch Black are my favs of that genre. Resident Evil is good too (But I hate the core games).

That's a bit of a gross generalization for a wide and varied genre...
As with all genre, horror can be broken up into subgenre. Please do not lump the entire genre into vapid slasher flicks as they make up only a small (albeit loud and popular) portion of the genre.
Perhaps you ought to try a nice Psychological Horror (my personal favorite subgenre)? In those the horror is derived from psychological concepts (even if they're represented via monsters), preying upon natural emotions and aspects of the mind to disturb the viewer/reader. Try something like Jacob's Ladder or The Machinist.
If it weren't terribly off-topic I would go into the other subgenre. But its bad form to derail a topic just because I'm all butthurt about overgeneralization.
Smiley guy from Psycho? Do you mean the killer from the Scream movies?
