Why shoot horror?
Well the answer is:
It is huge business, it is stable, and has tons of fans.
Sonya Chudgar states:
It’s a frighteningly big business: The appeal of evil drives the $500 million haunted-attraction industry and $400 million at the box office for horror films each year.
With spooky storytelling on TV, zombie obstacle courses and theme-park sponsors, the horror industry shows little sign of slithering away.
