I think you've hit something right on the head as to why horror films are not nearly as good as they used to be. I do not feel like THE EXORCIST has lost it's punch but I'm sure many current audiences would.
That's why filmmakers are replacing scares, atmosphere, and good direction with endless gore, torture, mocking humor, terrible CGI effects, and lame
ideas....
