Today's Horror Movies Aren't Scary!

Call me old fashioned, but I think today's horror movies suck.
There's a big difference between the classic horror movies of the past compared to the ones made today. To me, the biggest change is that I simply don't think they're scary.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of jump out of your seat moments, but that's not what I'd call a real scare. To me, that's a "Jump Scare", where the essence of the scare was simply that something popped on the screen out of the blue and surprised you. I've never been a fan of that kind of scare. Anyone can do that by simply walking up to you and shouting "BOO!".
By contrast, horror movies in the past were based less on jump scares, and more on genuinely scary premises. For example, Jaws genuinely scared people, not just because there were a few jump scares, but because the entire premise of the movie was frightening. It was the kind of movie that scared people long after the movie ended. It gave people nightmares and genuinely scared people from going too far into the water. That's scary.
