There is a really good reason that its teens that die. When the script writers come online they look about the movie forums to see if there's any new ideas they can poach and make into a movie. But most of the time they see threads named "y allways is teens the ones die" and become infuriated by just how retarded teens have become. So they make a run of the mill horror movie that involves killing teens to vent their anger about idiots. Unfortunately it's a vicious cycle, the movies generally attract the people the makers hate, but this gives demand for a sequel, so they get to vent their anger again.
Because teens are stupid.

actually i thought that one of the main reasons was because of the morality issues in some of the earlier horror films, ie teens who indulged in pre-marital sex, took drugs and drank alcohol would be killed by a monster/evil person etc
