No you're not.
It's not scary when you know there's going to be a highly polished, 3d rendered, inside-out demon like thing for you to kill around every corner.
What's scary is when you go around 5 corners without seeing anything, you start to get aprehensive, and then you go 'round another, and there's nothing, and then another, and then... one comes from an alcove behind you because you're too busy thinking about what's around the next corner. This also means that lower difficulties can actually be scarier because there's usually less bad guys.
It's all about building an atmosphere, and older games are (generally) better at it.
The last new (2000 or later) game that scared me was Return to Castle Wolfenstien.

I agree with you!

The last game scared me was... Quake 2
