Another huge factor is that watching this movies 20/30 years after its release they seem cliche thanks to the thousands of cookie-cutter movies that used many of the movies ideas. Then, even though the movie pioneered some techniques and came out before these other movies, they seem played out because you have seen them a hundred times in latter movies.
I can understand that one too. Halloween was probably the first slasher I saw and loving it so much then probably impacts how I feel about it now quite a bit.
