I'm siding with Neverending and Newb on this one. I really don't think horror comedies or spoofs affect the horror genre at all. It's a sub genre. In all these years, it hasn't taken the straightforward horror away from us.

The thing that really ticks me off is when a horror film is remade with contempt for the original. The Wicker Man for example.
I hear what you are saying it is just my personal view so its just how I feel. I agree with you about the contempt in remakes-I spit on your grave is another example of that-the remake turned the artistry of both sexes using sex as a weapon in the original (perhaps going too far but that's another debate) and turned it basically to torture porn.
