Why create original films when you can plunder expired copyright works, eh?

Why does every expired copyright movie have to be horror?

Because low effort horror producers are the first to need a "new" idea, and expired or public domain properties are the easiest way to get them.

The key phrase here is "low effort." These movies generally take a semi-decent premise and then run it into the ground faster than a nepobaby's inherited business. That's why they all end up as schlock and give the genre a bad name.
