Is franchise horror dead? Where does that leave us?

Hoste and Wrong Turn are both continuing to make sequels, though its unknown if either one will continue on. I think the main reason we dont have franchises anymore is because this is a different era where masked serial killers coming back from the dead isnt as believeable amongst kids as was back in the 80s and they jus aren't huge box office hits either. For now, i do believe franchise horror is dead until something along the lines of SAW comes about and starts a whole new genre.
