Exactly.
As far as westerns go, I think the reason westerns died out is that they're very era-specific. Suburban kids today don't get into the whole cowboy thing. Science fiction & fantasy, I think, fills the space for our generation that the whole western thing did for our grandparents.
Horror isn't as specific a genre as westerns. Horror's all about scary stuff. This means that the subjects of horror movies change as what people think is scary changes...but since people (being people) will always be scared of somethin, there will always be horror. Thankfully. :D
