The film makers have come up with the idea of using situations where we feel unsafe
When we are alone, unable to get help, responsable for others, someone has escaped from an assylum etc
Why do they make people jump rather than scare them, simple...
Throw a cat through a window... someone jumps
Now without the situation of helplessness... try and think of the last time you was really scared by the monster or killer
I look forward to a time when something does scare me... the last time i was 7, it was Michael Myers

Strangely enough, the only 2 movies that actually scared me are fairly recent. One of them is even a very good movie [and on second viewing, I laughed at myself for being scared], but the other is certainly one of the greatest horror films in a long time. In that oreder, Signs and The Blair Witch Project.
