    I think this is more of a comparison between different genres of horror and how slasher movies or franchise monsters aren’t as big now as they used to be. I’d say for slashers in particular it’s more difficult now because the camera resolutions are unforgiving and with things like video games depicting violent deaths in every way you can imagine, people have seen it all so there’s less novelty.
