Vintage is better

I have a DVD set of old scary movies. They range from like 1952 to 1987 or sometime around there. I've been watching a couple of the disks in the past couple of weeks and its been makig me realize how much better scary movies were before the 21st century came around.
I honestly can only think of 2 movies that have truly scared me in the past 10 and a quarter years: The Strangers which it took me 3 tries to watch all the way through, although the 3rd time I saw it I fell asleep about half way through. And the remake When A Stranger Calls. And I have a feeling that if I ever saw that one, I'd think the new one was crap.
Then you have movies like the remakes of Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street. Even though he Jason series was extended wayyyyyy to long, no remake of any of the originals will EVER measure up. The new one compltely blew and I'm a huge fan of Jared Padalecki who was the male lead in it. I was pretty disappointed in it. And the new Nightmare on Elm Street I haven't seen but I've seen the original about 50 time and I don't really want to see the remake. I've heard its absolutely horrible and the only notable name in it was the only really hot guy in any of the Twilight movies and he apparently gets killed off in the first 10 minutes even though hes on all the posters.
I don't know if its the whole "The age of irony is over" thing or what but it seems like movie makers feel like the truly scary things are off limits or something. Um, why??? As long as you're not showing thousands of people unexpectedly dying by having planes crashing into buildings, what could possibly offend people that much nowadays?
Give me something I'm afraid to watch by myself please!!! I LOVE watching scary movies except that their not cary anymore! One of the movies on my dvd is the original Georg Romero Night of the Living Dead. I had to skip to the next movie because the opening zombie scene freaked me out. That might have been because I was by myself in my bedroom withmy back to the door and my house was making strange noises but I still got freaked out... Thats what I want from Hollywood. I want them to turn it into (and please forgive the cheesiness) 'Horror'wood and give me a movie that I will truly be afraid to watch by myself.
