Historically, it has been. Horror movies are pretty cheap to make compared to other genre films (karo syrup and red food dye aren't expensive). Plus a lot of people writing "how to make films" books worked during the VHS boom of the 80s/90s where any crappy horror movie could get distribution.

It's still pretty easy to get distro for a horror movie, plus it's 'easy' to write a horror movie since the genre structure is pretty well established, and you can basically do mad libs and end up with a reasonably coherent film.
