Remakes - Has the horror genre reached a dead end?

With the amount of classic horror remakes being released this year I was wondering if the horror genre has reached a dead end?

I am a big fan of the classic horror films and feel the latest selection of 'shock' horror like Hostel is just tainting a great genre with its purpose more aimed towards shocking the audience than actually trying to scare them.

With the likes of The Fog, Dawn of the Dead, The Hills Have Eyes as well as a number of great Asian horrors already remade and the Wicker Man, When a Stranger Calls and Night of the Living Dead 3D on the horizon has the genre reached a lull even though there is a vast amount of horror films out?

How do you guys feel about the amount of classic remakes on their way? Will the remakes taint your love for the originals?
