Agreed completly on those points. As for the first one though, dont you think that if folks like Rob Zombie or Eli Roth continue to prove that a low budget aproach to horror can still make money, dont you think that these guys making garbage films in their backyeards might actually start getting funding, and their garbage might turn into something good?

On part two, I definatly see where you're coming from. Ill use myself as an example; I absolutly love horror, but if I tried to make a movie I assure you it would make House of the Dead look like The Shining.

Never said you should; I usually feel the same way. However like Ive been saying...give them some money and some talented people to work with and you could have a classic.
