Kelley's Ally McBeal (1997) and Boston Public (2000) She has also ventured into the mainstream horror genre as the lead in Victor Salva's Jeepers Creepers (2001).

It's up to each person's parents whether they think it's too frightening or too violent, how much their kids can handle, what they want to teach them, what they want to show them.
I think suspense is a big thing.
I'm a horror movie fanatic.
Number one is that it just scares people! Your hair is standing up on your arms, or at least that there's a few moments when you're jumping. That's what makes it a good horror movie.
All these horror movies are slasher film now. I like them, they're fun, but they wink at the audience and you're really not terrified through the movie.
