A Goodreads user asked S.W. Wilcox:

What's your favorite Horror sub-genre? Mine would be Slashers. ;)

S.W. Wilcox Oh, I loved the locked-room-mystery-lessons-in-ethics of the "Saw" films. But my most in-depth arguments online didn't meet with much acceptance. The final verdict from the forum was that serial killers are dumb brutes therefore psychological thrillers like "Saw" and "Silence of the Lambs" were too fake to be good. That brings me back to ones with really good music, and my favs 'til this day are the two from John Carpenter, "Halloween" & "The Thing." Close behind those would be "The Crow" and a few of the "Resident Evil" films, maybe "The Matrix" too, kinda grouping them all under the umbrella [corp!] of cyber-gothic-horror-punk?
