How many horror movies where made in 2006?

I am doing a paper at school on films. Of course my intrest is horror so i thought this would be a good place to start probing for answers. I need help on just a couple of questions!!!

What is the demand on horror movies in the film industry?

What are the projected numbers of last year new releases?

How many people actually fill the seats when they are released to a movie theater?

How long does the average horror film last at a movie theater?
