What Kind of Scary?

Know what kind of scary before you press play.

Love dread but hate gore? Fine with slashers but not with anything happening to a dog, a kid, or an eyeball? Every movie here gets a scare profile and a list of the upsetting stuff, so you can pick your poison instead of being ambushed by it.
