I wouldnt say that Horror is coming to an end as we know it, it is just evolving into something that most real horror fans cant stand. I Know what you did last summer, Final Destination, Scream, all designed to appeal to a new audience. One that doesnt want to deal with gore or a plot that takes a brain to figure out what is going on. Its all about the money money money, I think the art of the horror film has been lost in some circles. Thats why they make sequel after sequel after sequel. Also things like political correctness get in the way, everybody is afraid of offending someone w/ their films. I cant believe that mountain people werent out protesting the movie Wrong Turn. Plus things like CGI have made film making so much more easier and thus in turn less believeable to the likes of us. Jason X comes to mind, the CGI blood I could do without, it really bored me, does a 5 gal bucket of food colored water really cost that much or is it just 2 much 2 clean up these days. Or have some actors become premadonnas and dont want to get dirty while filmmaking. I was hoping that since Sam Raimi has shown what he can do with a huge budget like Spiderman that maybe someone will give him the money to make an Evil Dead 4. I heard that John Carpenter has wanted to get out of film making for various reasons, and Wes Craven has been kind of disappointing of late. I have to say I think that we are going to be relying on Indie filmmakers for a while until the money stops rolling in for the BS that is coming out now. One thing that I didnt mention is that I think it is increasingly hard these days to scare people, you can see more violence and gore on the nightly news now than in any horror film.
