I think what vamp said is basicly the case it depends on the individual, different things effect different people in general not just horrror.
for example one person may laugh at a movie that another person is scared to death of.

Poepl do tend to get desensitized to a great number of things these days. We are over-stimulated, we get too much information from too many sources, we get desentsitized because we have been exposed to so much that we lose the ability to feel.
It's why gore, porn, substance abuse, reality tv, and many other things are so prevalent and available these days. 1, the technology exists to make it easily available, 2, the law of supply and demand has created a huge "requirement" for it all.

Okay Vod is staring to get at what I think too, but I think he forgot the biggest 'desensitizer' of all... The nightly NEWS.
When all you see every time you pick up the paper or turn on the news is all the danger we are in at all times. Terror alerts, random killings, missing persons, biological weapons... It's all you hear about all the time. We are bombarded by it. The NEWS forces people to live their lives in fear. How can you be scared of a fictitious horror movie when we are led to believe that we live in more danger in our day to day lives? |

I'm desensitized to mainstream horror. Not so with some of my friends.

As mentioned in the post about the exorcist, immersion is a big part of what makes horror scary, and what we get these days is not only repetetive shit, it does nothing to involve and immerse the audience. they focuas on glitz and the stars of the movie, when the story and atmosphere should have center-stage. Plus, as bwind was stating, after 1 week solid of nothing but footage of some assholes killing a couple thousand people over and over and over again a couple of years ago, how scary is a vampire or werewolf?
