I really don't think the point of the Insidious series is to scare the audience, although it does do that. It's created a sort of mythology with The Further, astral projection, and the villains themselves. However, a series like Friday the 13th, in my opinion, is just to show off "cool" death scenes to the audience with as little story as they can possibly squeeze in.
I'm sort of split on showing and not showing the villain to the audience. I thought the red-faced demon in Insidious looked great, but in something like Mama, the villain looked crappy. I think it just depends on the movie.
