I have a feeling that most horror isn't "new" in terms of plot; in fact, in most horror stories I've read you know from the first line who's going to get it, and how, but that's beside the point. The art is in the execution.

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly. A lot of horror is about scenarios where you can guess what's going to happen... and you KNOW something bad's going to happen. It's the journey to get there that people enjoy.

Right -- the suspense of when more than what.

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, the execution can be hard as hell to pull off. It's difficult enough to maintain suspension of disbelief in slice-of-life; with horror you need to keep up an atmosphere of menace (and frankly, exhaustion) without succumbing to fridge logic, narm, or darkness-induced-audience-apathy. You also need an at least somewhat... overwhelmed? protagonist, and people really don't like underdogs as much as they think they do.
