Is franchise horror dead? Where does that leave us?

What I mean by familiar is a familiar storyline. Cute girl is stalked by the killer, her boyfriend is killed, friends are killed, she survives but not after an epic battle with the killer. Cliches. Plot lines is what I mean when I say familiar.
Also, most die-hard horror movie fans don't fit in the category as casual moviegoers. When I said that, it wasn't knocking you Caftan. The people I was referring to are those who think the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street was the greatest horror movie of all time but never saw or heard of the original. THOSE people. The people who thought My Bloody Valentine 3D was an original idea and not a remake.
