Are you more scared of horror when you were younger, or more scared as you got older?

I feel like now the real world is much more scarier than horror in media, I kinda got desensitized to fear in horror games. Still scary, but I remember being much more terrified when I was younger.
I've never been scared by scary movies. I'm reading IT by Stephen King (for the second time, I first read it when I was 11 or 12, or about the same age as the kids in the book) and it's good, but it's not scaring me. Neither did Pet Sematary. Next up will be The Shining. King makes some good scary situations, but they don't really make me scared.
The only thing that's really triggered a fear-like response (more like anxiety though) is movies with scenes of domestic violence (particularly towards kids).

i don't really understand horror as a genre. i don't really remember any horror i've seen as it leaves no real impression, and i don't seek it out.
