Franchises That Have Been Ruined By Bad Entries

Horror Quote Of The Moment

Welcome to Under The Morgue.

We have sections for each decade of film, from the 1910s onward, as well as sections for 10+ major franchises, close to 50 'smaller' franchises (containing five entries or less), creative writing, independent filmmaking, photography, music, Non-Horror films and TV shows, forum games, and boredom busters, and to top it all off there's an IM shoutbox at the bottom of the page for random chat. From the tame and 'kid sister friendly' to the psychological and mindbending to cheesy splatter flicks to hardcore torture-oriented horror, there's something here for everyone, so why not dive in?

I'll cross my fingers for Sleepaway Camp, but from how much of a bust Return was after a five year wait; I worry. Eck, Cube definitely.

Amityville Horror, since there's so many bad sequels that I don't even think most people think of it as a franchise any more

I haven't even seen all of them even though there's two or three that I really like, which says a lot since usually if I like at least two of the movies, I'll watch the others as soon as possible.

It makes me really happy that one of the franchises have already come out with a good film (Wrong Turn) and another has an exciting film in the works (Hellraiser).

I don't think there's been a truly great Friday movie since The New Blood, and even that movie suffered under the MPAA's censorship. Freddy vs. Jason and the remake were both decent enough, but not enough to wash away the missed opportunity of Jason Takes Manhattan, the what-the-hell-were-they-thinking of Jason Goes to Hell, and the sheer cheese of Jason X.

Stoner Guy Posts: 1,797 Group: Members Member #52 Joined: Apr 20, 2013 Mood None	I'm judging the series by what I read and heard about it. (And I forgot about having seen Freddy vs. Jason and the remake. Dunno how that happened.) James Rolfe (the Angry Video Game Nerd) reviewed all ten original Friday movies recently, so I got a bit of knowledge as to what the films I haven't seen are like.
