Most people use the terms horror movie and scary movie interchangeably. But that raises a question: Does a horror film really have to be scary? And are some scares better or more valuable than others? On this weeks episode of Film Club, critics A.A. Dowd and Katie Rife discuss these questions, as well as the horror genres regular tactics for getting under an audiences skin. They then confess which movies frighten them the most.
