Hmmm... I wonder if that means that the quality of horror is getting better... but... no one cares...
Then again, gross isn't really that much of a gage, especially since most of the ones that I absolutely adored were more limited release than the big ones.
I wonder if it's a good sign that there aren't huge horror blockbusters like there used to be?
I wonder how that reflects on America as a whole - Maybe they choose to internalize fear, pain, and anxiety as oppose to externalizing it in the form of going to see horror movies in the theater.

I don't know if it means horror is getting better financially.
$19,198,896 approx. per film gross in 07' compared to approx. $40,773,297 ($59,516,577 if you adjust for inflation) per movie in 97'. The test I suppose would be simple for us to do though. Simply take this list...
Scream 2
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Anaconda
Scream
The Relic
Event Horizon
Mimic
An American Werewolf in Paris
Wes Craven's Wishmaster
Thinner
and place next to each movie a horror film in 07' that you think is better. If you can easily replace this list then for you, I suppose 07' was a better year.
