When I was a kid, it was movies like Poltergeist that really got me into horror. A kind of soft launch, with all the sadism removed and replaced with nightmare inducing atmosphere.

Insidious is the same kind of thing. Don't get me wrong, I like a torrent of splatter, but a lot of modern horror movies are too downbeat and grim for me. I tend to like my twisted films to be antiques. When it comes to new movies, there's enough real horror in the world so I prefer some escapist spooks.
