i also hardly ever watch any conventional horror blockbusters, preferring off the beaten path movies of yore like German expressionism and psychological horror like Der Todesking (a film which mostly explores the mechanism of suicide)

You have a very valid point, I mean for many people, watching a horror movie is a once a year occasion. Movie execs take advantage of the October Friday night opener crowd, who might only see one horror film a year. This would explain why the Saw franchise got to go on for 7 years in a row, getting more and more ridiculous, until finally dying not with a bang but a whimper last year in glorious 3D. 2009 offered some slight relief with
Paranormal Activity, which then got turned into the same cycle as the very series it killed.
