I have a feeling a lot of people will/would pick the final option, but perhaps some will surprise me...  . |

I picked the option that I like the most - the creepy option. May have been a better poll if you left off the final option.  Actually, another interesting question would be which of your options do folks like the least. |

Interesting that for a genre that is primarily built on being able to scare/terrify/horrify, that seems to be one of if not the least important factor for at least members here when it comes to what appeals to them about the genre.

Glad you kept in the final option, because that's why I love horror.

Atmosphere/Mood.
Ironically this is the thing that's hardest to achieve so maybe I appreciate when its done well.

For me it's atmosphere. I haven't found a movie scary since I was a teenager (not bragging--in real life I'm sure I'm quite a coward) and I was never a person who "liked" to be scared. But I think cinema was born for horror; it allows for a certain style and a hyperbole that you can't get from other genres (except maybe musicals) and since its focus is often experiential (only genre named after an emotion, after all) rather than intellectual, it is more likely to tread territory only possible in a film, whereas most movies could survive as novels or plays without suffering too much.
