You're not going to be scared by any movies if you don't want to be. It's sort of like hypnotism - if you're truly not open to its effects, then you will never be under its influence. Unfortunately, though, you sort of limit yourself in your experience if you never let yourself be open to a scary movie - many people, including me, find it a very worth-while form of entertainment. Maybe being scared just reminds us that we're alive - sort of a primitive survival instinct is released when we see traumatizing things in our reality; though those things might be prescribed and fake, imagination ushers perception into realms of possibility that transcend fear and anxiety, thus it's the same effect (obviously not as strong as truly being scared for your life, but the feeling is conveyed nevertheless).
I'm not saying that I can't sleep at night or get nightmares after watching a scary movie, or that I even jump at moments in the movie (I''ve conditioned myself to not look like an idiot that way) but I know how it feels to be scared and I like the feeling - in a controlled environment, that is 
I dunno, maybe it's just something you're going to have to open your mind to someday.
