I think what causes fear in each person is very individualized based on our upbringing and experiences. We all have our own ideas on what kind of story stays with us and scares us long after we shut our laptops for the night. Personally, I find psychological thrillers the most scary and thus, more appealing, while for others it is gore, monsters, etc.
