From what I understand, a lot of it has to do with context. Many people that say it was really scary actually saw it in its original theatrical run or a re-run of some sort during the 1970s. Back then, it probably was legitimately scary to them. In my opinion, there are plenty of other examples of films that were both higher quality and scarier even from the same time period or even before.
