Personally, I like seeing "the monster" - but I think the problem is that we get to look at it too closely, if that makes any sense. Often the monsters aren't particularly convincing, and when that was the case in "the good old days", they simply didn't allow us to see the monster in more than quick sequences, blurry shots, or maybe a close-up of the eyes or something similar.
Nowadays we have plenty of time to study the monster and realise that it's just a long-haired girl in bad makeup (just to make an example).
