It would definitely only be partly up to the filmmakers, though. Some things only work in a certain time and place and we're in the "snarky deconstruction of horror" phase right now. If the audience didn't willingly "play along", then no, it probably wouldn't work. But I definitely think it still could. There'd just have to be some pretty specific circumstances.

The horror genre is WAY different from Superhero stuff. Its hard to scare people with the same thing more than once. There's a reason they made Aliens into a more actiony deal.

The more you see the monster the less scary it gets. Obviously. Look at what happened to Freddy Krueger. They tried to make him scary again with New Nightmare and no one went to see it.

The snarky horror fad passed like 10 years ago man. Its all about super serious ghost thrillers now.
