Quote, Paraphrase, and Citation #4

Quote - "While the style of horror films may go in and out with each trendlet, the genre as a whole is a steady bet. The films can be made on the cheap (very few cost more than $20 million) because they don't need big-ticket actors to lure crowds. "The genre is the star here," says Dan Marks, executive VP of Nielsen EDI. "People like to get scared." A franchise film, like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, carries its own name recognition. With a budget of $9.2 million, the film took in three times that on its opening weekend, thanks to all the young'uns who hit theaters. In packs. Another economic advantage: Horror flicks are as social as the movie experience gets, so people go in big bundles. "They scream--loud--and grab each other," Bay says. "They like the scares, and movies are a lot scarier when you're in a group."
