Silent build up is actually very easy if you understand the process. Like, jump scares are interesting because they borrow aspects of comedy (timing & being unpredictable) to horror.

FreudianSlippers posted:You know what could work well in a slasher film. If you had a scene fairly early in the film where the main character is investigating something spooky and the eerie music starts and of course the audience expects it to be the typical fake jumpscare where it's just a cat or even the wacky friend or douchy boyfriend playing a trick. But it would actually be the killer and the main character would be killed unceremoniously like 15 minutes in. Psycho, sort of.
