Classic horror movies and those from the 70s and 80s were fresh, scary ideas. They weren't made to blow the box offices away, and their target audience wasn't pre-teen kids.
Modern horror movies are sloppy pieces of garbage that feel compelled to drop the word "fuck" as often as they can and concentrate on how many popular names they can get in, and what kind of "scary" CGI monster or "crazy new twist" idea will scare 13 year old girls. They blow. I'm already pondering what my answer will be when my kids ask why our generation fucked up the horror genre. All I know is I'm already embarassed.
