In recent adult years, I have been focusing more and more on Asian horror. Because it is much less familiar to me than American horror, I find it to be far more effective in provoking fear. I'm less able to predict what is going to happen next, and I've not had the opportunity to habituate to the film conventions they use. Best of all, I've rediscovered that feeling of not being able to get certain films out of my mind the next day.
If mainstream American horror is not doing it for you, I'd suggest some experimenting with Asian horror.
