I'm not sure what you mean by "horror today", but if you talking about movies the ones that are mainly just gorefests are widely understood to be crap, even by the people who watch them, while there are plenty of horror movies that don't involve much gore at all. If you're referring to stories around here, however, people tend to write from experience, and judging by the fact that quite a lot of these stories involve protagonists who haven't even graduated or maybe just did, I'm going to guess many of the stories wind up coming off as childish because they were written by children, and thus it's understandable that quite a few haven't quite grasped the nuances of writing good horror and thus have to fall back on easier devices like horror clichés and gore. So yes, running into a lot of puerile stories is to be expected of this venue.

And in regards to your obviously hugely inflated sense of superiority...eh, I'm not even gonna bother going into my spiel about it. I'll just use the somewhat oversimplified saying that many times those who think they're smarter than everyone else are actually just too small minded to realize how little they know.
