Thanks so much. Glad to meet another Jaws lover who agrees that it didn't need to be a franchise

Thank you for putting Paranormal Activity so high up... it does have some really good lore and story... the last movie was definitely weaker because they spent so long messing around with that camera instead of finishing the story arc properly. Toby has different forms so even though he was mainly the shapeless form, I'm convinced he has a more child-friendly form to lure Katie and Kristi, and Hunter and Leila in... then his more traditional, true demon form. Either way, it's definitely a franchise that deserves more love so thank you for showing it some. Also, The Conjuring is such a strong franchise... I absolutely love it... long live the franchise, indeed!!

@@whatthehorror I saw Psyco and Jaws first. But what really got me in the horror were the nightmare films. And believe it or not I’ve still yet to watch scream. I think that Psyco and Jaws are much better films than any of the nightmare movies, and they’ve certainly aged much better. But I think as a franchise A on nightmare on elm street, is much better. Jaws and Psyco has no reason to be franchises. John carpenters the Thing is another one that got me into horror, and I was definitely way too young to watch it.

Interesting, I find that Halloween is like the poster child for strong opener. I think that movie is a perfect one off with an amazing ending, so I don’t like the sequels. I would also put Friday the 13th in “A Scream” despite it only having two good films: Part 4 and Part 6, but I really like how formulaic the other films are as I know what I’m getting into. I enjoy even just okay entries like part 2, part 7, Jason X and the reboot can be a lot of fun when I am in the mood to watch more than just part 4 and 6.

Very fun! I'd love for you to do more. How about tackling "The Howling" franchise? Maybe "Jeepers Creepers"? "Sinister"?

The third Psycho movie was directed by Anthony Perkins, the fourth was directed by Mick Garris.

It's been a minute since I had a chance to sit down and watch KZread, total coincidence you uploaded this 😊 I'm also high so I hope this makes sense, but I love hearing about franchises versus the first movie. I LOVE "Jaws" and I forget the others exist. I completely agree that Friday the 13th/Halloween movies don't have strong enough characters for me to care about them, which makes it disappear into mediocrity for me. Not that the movies are bad, but the franchises are more about the first movie than continuing the story.

Never seen a tier list for franchises before, genius idea, love it. I would add phantasm, the howling and romeros walking dead films to my list. Please watch army of darkness ASAP. Its incredibly short, there's zero horror and its not just the funniest horror film I've ever seen, it's one of the funniest of any genre. Bruce Campbell has never been better, there's over a dozen iconic quotes. His 'this is my boomstick' rant is comedy gold.

That was a great video Sarah. I was a little surprised to hear you haven't seen the Hellraiser films. I've only seen the first 3 though. We all have films and Franchises we haven't seen. I've still only seen the first Halloween. What about the Species Franchise and One Missed Call Franchise? Talking of Hellraiser. Part 2 was filmed at Pinewood Studios and I've just incorporated it into an interactive tour of Pinewood Studios on my channel. I put together a list of films that show off the grounds of the studios and not just the sets inside sound stages. I look forward to your next franchise ranking video. P.S. what about the Dead franchise. Night Of The Living Dead, Day Of The Dead and so on. Also the Zombie franchise. That could get confusing 😆 Trevor

Just came across your channel. Really enjoyed the video. Hellraiser would be very hard to place for me. Absolutely loved the first 2 and then it went a pretty poor. It’s tough to try to think of the franchise as a whole and not just the movie or movies you love.

Thanks for the great video. I think I may suffer from the sunk cost fallacy in regard to horror franchises as I do not think any should be placed on the Time of Death tier. Like you, I do not care very much about most Wrong Turn films, but that 2021 remake was really good for a new direction. All franchises have a time of quality and a time of meh. So when a new Puppet Master movie comes out - I'll see it (and yes, I have seen them all)! A new Leprechaun movie, let's go! A new Exorcist movie, let's go! I would very much like to hear What The Horror's future franchise rankings for The Stepfather, Slumber Party Massacre, Prom Night, Romero's zombie films, Candyman and Phantasm.

In hindsight, putting Saw in long live, the franchise was a good choice as I thought Saw X was one of, if not the best film in the franchise

Nightmare on Elm Street is my top favourite franchise. Even though it has some weak films in it. I grew up watching horror with my Mam at a young age and the first Nightmare film is my earliest memory of a horror film. That and I find the concept of nightmares and dreams fascinating. Probably say Scream is my second favourite, in my opinion it doesn't have any weak films in the franchise.

100% agree that scream has no 'bad' entries. That's often why are favourites are our favourites because we have memories attached to them.

In terms of lead character acting, I consider Psycho as the best horror franchise. A. Perkins was an exceptional actor.

Also completely agree with your comments re the writing in saw - its absolute genius the way things keep getting revealed in later movies, like the reason for amanda turning on john in part 3. The long term plan the writers had was incredible considering the franchise could have been cancelled at any time if one had bombed
