I believe the opening post called for horror movies, not teenage slashers.

I agree with your point that someone is supposed to grow out of early impressionable years and into something more mature, and the nature of what creates the sense of horror also changes.

But this is not to say horror movies simply disappear as you grow older. The TRUE horror remains. It is the plastic one that starts to look silly.

For instance, if you recall the M, there is that scene where mother sees an open door with no one behind. That is the moment that is bound to create accute sense of horror in mature audience, as the teenage one will simply miss it. But to me that was a horryfying moment. So no, not exactly scare me, but certainly disturb, and have potential of returning in a hightmare.
