that one's odd and feels like a weird tv movie. directed by some guy on valium and lsd


part 5 is camp as a row of tents but quite good fun


part 6 is an absolute snoozefest

there's a reboot from around 2010 but, having not seen it, I think it looks like it's trying to capitalize on the TWILIGHT craze, so I'm not interested

I know some of the actors and crew who worked on 4 so the LSD and Valium thing might be correct 😳😏😉🐢

The Terminator franchise should have stopped at 2. Maybe 3. But the others were unnecessary. Although, the Sarah Connor Chronicles was a great spin off.

Friday The 13th, come on, how many sequels and remakes do we even need here?

Ditto for Halloween. The first was excellent, the second was what was presumed to be part of an anthology series, then they returned to Crystal Lake in the third. Oh speaking of Crystal Lake, there's now a movie of that name as of 2026.

Star Wars, definitely could have stopped after the second trilogy. Apart from Rogue One, the rest were meh.

Hellraiser III was great, but ehhh did we need more?

The Saw franchise. Like, really?

Same with Nightmare On Elm Street. Ugh, one or two were enough.

I'm quite partial to Jeepers Creepers and Final Destination, they are still quite creative and fun.

SAW, agreed. although I didn't rate the original, even.

there's been 1 'remake' which I thought was completely unnecessary, and I also  thought JASON GOES TO HELL was cack-ola rumpsteaks.

but I think all the rest get by okay, few ups and downs along the way but I enjoy pretty much all of them! each one does something slightly different. just my opinion

I didn't even realize there were more than 6 HOWLINGS!

Perhaps AMITYVILLE is the winner. Most of those 25 AMITYVILLEs came out just in the past decade, I think!

In service of nothing, SAW! THE MUSICAL just played for five weeks in Buffalo. It's been touring around the country, apparently. It did great business. They rented one of the theaters I work with and the admin (in spite of making money) found it all rather distasteful. There were walk-outs, and there were lots of patrons who don't appear to be the usual theatergoers and mightn't return in the future. Handfuls of that latter lot were drunk before and or during the show and at least one had to be removed by the Production Manager. Madame wanted to go see it and somehow we never made time. The informed word of mouth was just... discouraging, I guess. Maybe a live musical version spells doom for the franchise?

Go look for a copy of Evil Dead: The Musical.

For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

Oh right. I forgot about that one. There's also a RE-ANIMATOR musical...
