It also depends upon your age and experience. I am at the age where no movie can scare me. On the other hand, when I was in grade school I saw When a Stranger Calls, about a serial killer who has killed the children whom a babysitter is babysitting, and is calling from the second floor to tell her that he is going to kill the kids. When you are in grade school, and are occasionally being babysat, that was scary. Now? Nope.Are Aliens scary at the ripe old age of whatever it is to be in horror at the misunderstanding of a girlfriend for a daughter? Probably not. But for those young enough to believe they exist somewhere, it is scary. Those are the people for whom these films are made.
Follow Ups:
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.
