thats pretty much what i was going to say.
In the 70's (my favorite rant) there were several well made horror films with real directors and older established quality actors. Real film scores performed by real musicians.
thank home video and the 80's slew of garbage horrors for giving the genre a terrible name... well deserved indeed.
occasionally someone makes a class film but its rare.
on the other hand - i never needed the respect of the masses to enjoy the things i like.
A lot of what does get respect is pure horseshit anyway.
