Just read the synopsis of The Ring - that is a good example of something that isn't my sort of thing. Nor are any of the more modern, explicit, gory books and films. I don't find Hammer horror, Roger Corman's films, gothic horror books (by which I mean things like Dracula, E. A Poe's work and so on) terrifying. Creepy at times, camp and amusing at times (well, the films, anyway), but not scary.
I made the mistake of watching Arachnaphobia once - that was terrifying.
