Genres are forever changing in order to keep the audience interested. If a genre was to continue making the same films over and over the audience would be come desensitised and no longer interested-
An example of this is the horror genre over time:
1930-40
Dracula, Frankenstein and werewolves
60s
psycho
70s
slashers
80s
Nightmare On Elmes Street
90s
teen horrors
Does the social, political and economic factors have an impact on genre evolution too?
