Is franchise horror dead? Where does that leave us?

Actually, I think Final Destination came out before Saw.

You may be right about that, Freddy... I did not check my facts before I wrote that. Nonetheless, I think they helped feed off each other, particularly with how they were released. The Final Destination films seemed to hit in late summer, so they would be moving into the second-run houses just as the Saw movies were being released first run.
