ARTISTICALLY speaking, what do you think about franchise horror?

Yeah, that's one point I missed; what of stuff like Jason X that even series fans would rather disown? TV tropes calls it "fanon discontinuity," but some people say that disregarding anything canon (that is to say anything that the filmmakers, whoever they may be, make) is taboo.
Personally, I go with the idea that some things are too ridiculous to be considered part of an established story (Saw 3D, Freddy's Dead). I like to think of some franchises having diverging or outright different canons for this reason. I think that's one way to keep things artistically sound, and comic books do it all the time.

âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
