Yes, but Meyer arguably remains the mot relevant of the "classic slashers," with the recent sequels making decent money.
Also, the struggles behind Scream and Shining have been discussed, I remember reading Landis initially resisted AWiL (first attempt became Silent Hill). On the flip side, producer of Halloween--son of the first producer--flew out to do a fan screening with Aiello for the first house. He clearly dug the event. Being easy to work with probably makes you an easy IP to repeat.
