You are going through your 20th year of existence in a period where most of the contemporary horror films pretty much suck, and all the good ones of previous eras have become dated, with cultural and societal atmospheric changes making them look dull and insignificant.

The Exorcist was a big thing for the 70s, even the 80s, like Jaws made people scared of water throughout the same period.

Today, if someone of the present generation (like my nearly 20-year-old nieces) walk up to me and say they don't find The Evil Dead even remotely scary, I don't blame them. They have simply grown up in the wrong era - the era of busy lives, building careers, hard work and studies, competitiveness, etc., ergo no time to sit through a film, which makes them fast-forward through dialogue-based films to the scary parts which eventually lose their effectiveness without the atmosphere built up behind them.

Not everybody can appreciate a good atmospheric horror story today. Books have become a thing of the past. Imaginations have toned down considerably with the brutal realities of life keeping people going, cutting off their day dreams and lazy moments. That "bump" in the dark is no longer scary.

Psycho for today's teenager? Not his cup of tea, by any means.

The only thing which can scare today's teens is the brutality and shocking slaps of real life, nothing else.

When I was in the military, I remember renting VHS tapes (at the rental store) of movies called "Faces of Death". That's pretty much what they were, people being executed, animals being killed, etc. Never watched them again, and never will.
