I figured. Once you mentioned it my mind just popped over there.
It really hit me comparing the two how much genre and narrative form make in how a story affects you. Or even things like lighting. I mean, I always kind of knew it unconsciously, but I didn't think about it. I was thinking about how older horror movies are much more effective for me, not only because they employ a concentrated kind of Body Horror (DX DX DX) but because their every moment, shot and lighting is not perfectly calibrated to a particular tone. It feels more real when the sun is shining brightly during a sad or creepy scene and other things work to unnerve you.
