I hope someone from New Line or Village Roadshow is realising it as we speak, and is going to do something about it...

Nah, real horror films are still being made. Silent Hill, Hills Have Eyes, When a Stranger Calls, Boogeyman, The Skelleton Key...sure, they might not be the greatest movies, but I think they're safe proof that horror is and will always be it's own genre.
Horror has been known to borrow into other genres, as well. Look at Evil Dead 2, a great blend of comedy and horror. Same goes for countless other films that have their roots in horror but have other themes involved. Even though genres can and often do cross and blend with each other, the original genres will always exist.
