ARTISTICALLY speaking, what do you think about franchise horror?

[FreddysFingers]

I sort of see franchises as both cash-cows and legacies, however, with the F13 franchise it's a legacy to show how stupid the series has come. That also goes for Halloween, Saw and Leprechaun. I think that, if the franchise chooses to mix things up a bit and play around with it's characters, it could show just how successful the original was. You can see that in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, F13 1-3 and possibly even the Hellraiser series.
