I think the world's a much scarier place than it used to be. Old horror is "better" because the audience that watched it wasn't as desensitized to seeing horrible things on a daily basis.

For God's sake, we can watch beheadings of real people on the fucking internet. A kid can see that any time he or she wants. How's a guy in make-up with a knife gonna compete with the thousands out there that are really doing it?

I dunno, we're all pretty jaded now. That's why movies are aimed at the Mtv crowd, the 14 year old babysitters who don't watch the news or read the newspaper... "When a Stranger Calls", "Darkness"... all those kinds of movies that provide scares for kids that can still be frightened. The rest of us... we're all just looking for a good movie.
