This isn’t surprising— it happens in almost every fandom. Fandom is largely either for filling in the blanks, or adding something you feel is missing from the canon. A lot of comedy-based shows have pretty dramatic and ship-heavy fandom content not only because comedy is harder to write, but because that’s not something people are getting from the canon. If a horror movie is great at being scary, what purpose does exploring more scariness serve for fandom? Why would they be yearning for it, instead of exploring the relationships between characters or a fun summer road trip between Slenderman and the Babadook? I’d be shocked if a horror movie -did- have mostly horror-based fanfics, because largely that’s not what fandom is for.

Also pretty weird to insist horror isn’t difficult to write as if it’s objective fact.
