Love House of 1000 Corpses, but yeah, it's more disturbingly entertaining than it is scary, like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series. Been awhile since I've seen The Devil's Rejects, but I do remember the tone being very different. Then there was The Lords of Salem and 31 (which you alluded to). Lords was a bit like Rosemary's Baby. 31 was as close a movie to Twisted Metal as Rob Zombie will ever make (clowns in a deathmatch contest & all).
But as much as I like horror movies I rarely find any of them scary. There are concepts which can be scary when you imagine yourself as the victim... like being stuck a death-trap (Cube, Saw), being stuck at a haunted location (The Shining, House on Haunted Hill), encountering dangerous, creepy ET lifeforms (Alien, Invasion of the Body Snatchers), or being the target of a serial killer (The Silence of the Lambs, Psycho) or supernatural force (Nightmare on Elm Street, vampire movies, and so on).
But it's all just entertainment to me.
