Isn't the whole point of horror to not be respectable? It's supposed to push boundaries and be disturbing. Trying to make horror movies more respectable is what's ruining them. People keep trying to make horror be appreciated by the masses but it's a genre that's really only appreciated by horror fans. Casual fans are able to watch the lighter, more mainstream ones but for the most part its exclusively for horror fans who do in fact give it the credit it deserves. There's nothing wrong with horror, just the mindset of the people making them right now.
