When did horror films jump the shark?

[Rowdyboy]

I grew up on Vincent Price. "Psycho", "The Haunting", "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" and "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte" kept me awake late at night as a pre-teen. In high school, "Night of the Living Dead" blew me away, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" scared the shit out of me, and "Phantasm" left me week-kneed and nervous. "Last House on the Left" and "Clockwork Orange" were the icing on the cake...

Then it died.

You have "Friday 13th"; You have "Halloween"; then there's "Ran" (did NOT impress me), "Jeepers Creepers" (Jesus, how bad can it get), and "The Village" (THIS is as bad as it can get!)

Seriously, contemporary horror is sadly lacking. "The Others" with Nicole Kidman had its moments but never really scared me. I watched the miniseries "Rose Red" today while washing dishes/cleaning and almost fell asleep.

The only two films that have kept me literally on the edge of my seat in the last 20 years have been "The Hitcher" (1986) and "Joy Ride" (2002).

Any thoughts on the death of horror or suggestions on good, new movies?
