There was a time when horror movies were actually good. They were suspenseful, had jump scares, and were actually scary. But then something happened. The horror movies stopped being good. The suspense was gone, the jump scares became predictable, and they just weren’t scary anymore. So what happened?<\/p>\n

There are still good horror movies being made, but they seem to be overshadowed by all the bad ones.<\/p>\n

Why don t they make scary movies anymore? <\/h2>\n

The horror genre has long been considered a lower form of entertainment, and filmmakers have been striving to legitimize it for years. One of the most obvious ways this has been done is by making horror films less scary. This is likely due to the fact that the more mainstream and respected the film industry becomes, the less tolerant it is of truly frightening content. There is also a growing trend of using horror elements for comedic effect, which further dilutes the scares. It’s possible that the genre will eventually find a balance between scares and laughs, but for now it seems to be trending towards the latter.<\/p>\n
