As I've grown, I've tried more and more to get more accustomed to horror stuff I don't like, including jump scares.

I like jump scares if they're effective in the story and aren't overused. To my memory my favorite use of the jump scare was the first Conjuring movie.

The jump scares throughout the film were well executed, weren't overdone and helped set up the atmosphere to the movie really well.

The best part though was the ending shot!!! My best friend and I were covering our eyes at the end and nothing happened! Like, fuck you James Wan, effective ass story teller!!

So I only jump scares if they aren't overdone and IMO serve a purpose outside of the movie makers wanting audiences to jump. Like, yeah but WHY did you want us to be alarmed in this scene?? You want us to pay closer attention to the screen? OK, then you better make sure that what follows is worth that jump scare.

AH-HA!! I see it now, the filmmakers have to earn that fear of the jump scare and so few do. That ending of "The Conjuring" was well earned IMO.

I think not many horror films with jump scares execute this well, sadly.
