What's gonna appeal to them? I wonder...

Yep its all about boobs and death. They never seem to get the correlation right though. I think the habit of having the bearer of the boob sbeing the one dying is a major problem. We tend to jail people who kill women. This lends some vailidty to urge's thread about men hating women. why is it that so much of the horror genre, at least slashers, is centered around killing naked women?
one explanation is that the men creating these things have an underlying desire to kill women, and they are inherently mysogynistic, making everyone involved with making them practically serial killers.
I think the more likely explanation is that they cant come up with a better way to get boobs in the movie than to make the victims girls that can then take off their clothes at some point before dying. The casts are usally small, so they cant have characters that arent part of the main cast to be naked, and if they made the killer a chick with her boobs hanging out the whole time, well, thats a porno.
And I think even crappy horror directors like to think they are at least a class above porn directors.
