What you're asking is if you'll ever regain your innocence, be restored to a childlike state in which you believe what you see on the screen. And the answer is, of course, no because Experience is the opposite of Innocence
Why do you think horror movies do so well with pre-teens and teens? They haven't seen it all yet. Many of them still live rather coddled and protected lives. Adulthood and the horror of the real world tends to dull our reaction to horror.
But we keep chasing that thrill. That's the fun of it all

I completely agree with you. I remember back when I was around 7-8 Edward Scissorhands and Neverending Story scared the living shit out of me. I actually had to get help from a counselor because I had night terrors from the two. Now I watch Edward Scissorhands and see it as great movie with some comedy. I guess I am just hoping one of these days a movie will come out that is "different" than what we see every time a horror movie comes out. Something so disturbing that it will leave you speechless and scared shitless. I think its possible to make it happen, but will it, I doubt it.
