But, will Hollywood ever produce a supernatural horror of that quality again?
Anymore, we only seem to get increasingly lazy special effects where story use to be, and / or gore and jump scares in place of an atmosphere that is actually scary.
Short of a visionary director who just really WANTS to create something amazing in the genre, I don't know how we'll get another one...
I agree with you. I think they think our quick attention spans can't slow down for quality. So they keep riding that wave of the little fast-moving child ghost that isn't scary (usually with long black hair like in THE RING).
Or the person being pulled into a dark room, along the floor, in fast motion. Yawn.

Tobe Hooper knew how to create fear. I loved the Texas chainsaw massacre, The funhouse, and Poltergeist.
I forget The Funhouse. I have to revisit that one.
