Is franchise horror dead? Where does that leave us?

Psychism is a modern idea but not that modern. In fact, back in the late 60s to mid 70s people began taking up an interest in the occult, possessions, spiritual contact and the idea that we can communicate with another world. That's why there were such a big boom in paranormal films like The Sentinel, The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby and Audrey Rose.

I agree that in the late 60's and 70's some people are really interested about the occult and paranormal but if you can see most people including scientist and religious men ignored the voluminous proofs about these supernatural things as mere fabrications or a result of faulty experimental methods. People in late 60's and 70's simply cannot accept such phenomena existed. Otherwise, it would render the very foundation of science and religion under question or jeopardy. Only few people believe and support the idea of occultism and spiritism

Yes it is not that modern but still it is a New Age Concept. In Western Countries, parapsychological, metaphysical and psionical subjects have taken seriously just this millennium. [/COLOR]

I think that you are, in part, right that producers think that modern audiences won't like to see a killer that cant' die but then again... they aren't taking a chance with an original idea that might be the new Jason or Michael. There is still a big following on slashers rather than paranormal horror.

[COLOR="Red"]They arent taking a chance because perhaps,,, they are afraid to know the feedbacks and the result of their gross revenue...lol.

But slasher flick producers and directors...for goodness sake!

What do you have to lose? If you don’t take the risk to create another movie with recognizable villains, you could lose many other things that will erode your abilities to be who you really are! So I am encouraging those producers to Try to make again!
