Yeah.  We're easily freaked out.

This is why The Sixth Sense and The Ring were such big hits over here.

I thought that was because we have fucking horrible taste.

I thought that it was the taste thing too initially, but upon further evaluation I realized that I was incorrect.  Americans are easily freaked out and can't stomach things that actually are scary.  This is why there are so many PG13 "horror" movies now.  Shadows and creepy children are all that many Yanks can handle.
