Hmm, I think the haunted house genre is very neglected... but I do agree with you about slasher movies. I think maybe the torture porn genre is what really killed the slasher.
Imagine what Halloween would have been like if there had to be guts flying in every direction every minute, and they had to make space for long torture scenes. There would be no time left to tell the story, to get to know the characters or to build up the tension... you know, all the stuff that they don't give a damn about anymore when they make movies. I think it would be very difficult to do a modern slasher.
