I'm especially thinking of some bizzare foreign horror movies that didn't make sense to me and I figure there's gotta be some from my own (US) culture that just make 0 sense outside of the context of having been raised in this culture.

I think there's at least two layers to horror.

There's the universal something-in-the-dark-scary-noises layer of scary. And there's the culturally specific that-something-is-definitely-a-vampire layer of scary.

The Ring was scary to me without me knowing anything about Japan.

Everyone can enjoy them, but the home team gets bonus content.
