I respectfully disagree with your analogy that "slasher films" are the "junk food" of the horror genre. I contend that today's unimaginative re-makes, laden with CGI graphics, and copycat effects are cheapening the "Horror" in horror films. The studios are producing flashy movie previews, with no real substance, ("movie") to back it up. All of this of course is intended to get you back into the theatre or rental store for that almighty dollar.
