              Horror innovates new special effects and filming techniques, and its influences spread to other genres

Low budgets force producers to hire lesser known actors and directors, which has jump started careers such as Sam Raimi and James Cameron
Horror is incredibly versatile, and appears virtually immune to genre fatigue
