“Paranormal Activity” scares up most movie frights at Halloween
Vampires may be one of the most popular current themes in entertainment, but movies that feature exorcisms and Satan give audiences the biggest scare.
With Halloween fast approaching, a poll on website Movies.com found that vampiresĀ give moviegoers less of a fright than creepy kids or Zombies.
(Has the romance factor of the “Twilight” saga, along with all those popular vegetarian vampires, meant that good old blood-suckers are losing some street cred?)
In the Movies.com poll, some 44 percent of the 5,000 responders get the best scares out of films that focus on exorcism
andĀ Satan or ghosts and haunting. Vampires were rated scary by just 3.6 percent of those taking part.
