I too agree with everyone's comments about being jaded, being older etc... and movies not being as scary. But sometimes I find that I can get closer to being scary when I want to be. Force myself to suspend disbelief instead of telling myself "its only a movie" I find scary movies more fun that way anyhow. Trying to think of myself as if I'm in the movie instead of just watching it helps too.
getting a little more off topic, I find a really well done score can totally take a scary movie to the next level. like suspiria that was mentioned earlier, one of the scariest sound tracks ever probably. just hearing it with out seeing the movie kinda gives me the creeps.
