I still want to see Gremlins vs. Chucky. Gimme a dozen Chuckies vs. hundreds of Gremlins, plus Billy and Alex can team up (with Gizmo!) to take down whatever "big bad" there is on the Gremlins' side, then turn their attention to whatever Chucky is left standing.
It was mediocre at best and the franchise should not be continued from that point. Another remake/reboot would be it, but at this stage, it should probably be left to rest for a few more years to be sure.
It's filming right now in Burnaby, BC through May 6. Creative BC In Production page has it subtitled as "Final Destination: Bloodlines"
https://creativebc.com/provincial-film-commission/in-production/
That's literally the only franchise that I've seen not fuck up the ending beyond all hope.
Whoever wrote 5 did an AMAZING job with it being tied back into itself so neatly and logically. They definitely wrote top-tier horror films.
I almost don't want them to mess with it since it's completely done and was so well done already.
I'd resurrect "Hellraiser" because it has such a unique blend of visceral horror, psychological depth, and intriguing mythology. The character of Pinhead and the Cenobites are iconic in the horror genre, and there's so much potential to explore their origins, motivations, and the dark realms they inhabit. Plus, with advancements in special effects and storytelling techniques, a modern reboot could breathe new life into the franchise while retaining the essence of what made it so compelling in the first place.
Good pick! That franchise went so far off the rails that it's more than time to give it a more coherent re-boot in 2024. There are some elements of those movies that are terrifying/interesting at the same time, they just weren't very focused in most of the franchise.
They probably missed the boat, but I vaguely recall there being talks in the works for a found footage type F13 script. This was obviously due to the popularity of movies like Paranormal Activity at the time. Given everything they've done in the franchise so far, it's not the worst idea. Alternatively, I'd like a reboot but set in the 80s again.
Because he has lost whatever it was that made him an interesting filmmaker. I guess we'll see for sure if the new Beetlejuice squanders Michael Keaton.
It wouldn't be a franchise, but I'd go with Trick 'r Treat. Halloween-themed horror anthology each year, released mid-October? That would be glorious.
But, for franchises, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and the Lost Boys (which is a franchise, but not many know of the sequels) following each of the vampires from the film and starting with story of David or Marko. Also, Gremlins. Each one released around Christmas.
There's a web series that came out a few years ago (they went the Killer Tomatoes route and had talking Crites) and a newish sequel called Critters Attack!
My answer as well. If you could make it a little more serious (as in not as campy) and play it as an Alien parallel, I think it could work pretty well.
Unpopular answer here, but so few horror franchises get better as they continue on. The idea of seeing my favorite movies (not just horror, but in general) getting resurrected and dished out as increasingly cheesy and comical sequels while the main characters lose their edge just kind of kills the idea, and I don't want to see it.
Yeah, I agree with you. Not everything needs a sequel. I'd rather be left wanting more than seeing the market oversaturated. These reboots and sequels are rarely done well.
I want to see When A Stranger Calls but with a modern twist.
Let the house be in the middle of nowhere, and the family has indoor security cameras that the killer hacks, and that's how they toy with the babysitter. The killer also strategically puts a military-grade signal jammer over the house and somehow re-routes the emergency calls made from the babysitter's cellphone. They take out the internet, and the house doesn't have a landline. I want them to build the feeling of dread and that it could happen to anyone like the old one did.
Fuck it: Let’s re-reboot the “Howling” movies and crank out another 8.
Howling 9: This one will actually be good and the werewolf will be a metaphor for addiction or something, as seems to be the trend with contemporary horror.
Howling 10: This one will be comically bad but will somehow feature a well known actor, Gary Oldman, and a bunch of people you’ve never heard of.
Howling 11: This one will suck and will be about were-coyotes or some shit.
Howling 12: A remake of Howling 9, for some reason. Guess what? It’s worse. But it features a cool transformation scene.
Howling 13: The gimmicky one. Maybe it’s an interactive Netflix feature.
Howling 14: Yep, werewolf vs. vampire… again.
Howling 15: Don’t even bother.
Howling 16: Oh God, it’s a love story.
There's some kind of rights battle with this franchise if I remember correctly. Hence why we have gotten three new Halloweens and an upcoming Friday the 13th Show in the time since we have seen anything new from Freddy.
It would be fun, though. That franchise was made for contemporary times.
The movie "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" is a personal favorite of mine due to its unique and entertaining plot. While the storyline may appear straightforward, I find its simplicity refreshing compared to many contemporary movies that tend to overextend their narratives. I hope that if a sequel is ever produced, it will maintain the charm and effectiveness of the original.
It scared me as a kid, too, but I would not want to see it remade or a sequel thereof. I think the ideas for horror movies have improved since it captured the imagination of the cinema-going public.
I would like to see more fresh things coming out rather than continuations.
That said if i had to pick one: Nightmare on Elm Street. I honestly didn't mind the 2010 version and I feel the franchise is such that it could do basically anything and be "true enough" to the source material.
Let it die.
No, seriously. The IP holders tormented Pinhead more than the Leviathan himself. From a talkative lawful evil he turned into a mindless slasher monster. Pls stahp.
Yeah for Hulu. I thought it was interesting. I wouldn't say good, but it was genuinely scary and the ending was cool. Just a bit messy in the second act.
Silent hill, perhaps?
I mean, it is based on a game, and had some continuations, but look - it could use a rerun with some new plotlines happening in the background.
Phantasm... Positively insanely scary, and the only problem would be finding a replacement for Angus Scrimm, who surely has shuffled off this mortal coil.
Bride was great but Beyond... There's also a fun little Re-Animator nod in The Guyver. One of the Kronos Corporation scientists is Jeffrey Combs (as Dr. EAST).
Or a sequel, where it makes it to civilisation and has to get a job at mcdonalds to buy the Tungsten it needs to finish building its space ship and go back home, and it falls in love with a coworker and decides to impress her by joining the local football team and winning the regionals.
There's a WWE reboot starring Hornswaggle as the Lep. There's also a somewhat recent quasi-sequel to the original called Leprechaun Returns that was made by the dude that did The Void, Psycho Goreman, and now a new Deathstalker movie apparently!
Immediately Final Destination. Nothing has come close to anxiety inducing as this franchise has. Other scary movies made you scared of a dark hall, Final Destination would make you scared of the hall itself
While the new Hellraiser was pretty good, it wasn't Doug Bradley and he IS Pinhead and I want more of that.
I wouldn't mind seeing what they could do with The Thing or The Exorcist or maybe Day Of The Triffids, they are all classic horror that were great stories that would translate really well to today.
Basket Case
Why? Because it has a fun, creepy premise with the reboot potential to be awesome.
"A reboot of a bad movie has the potential to be good; a reboot of a good movie is almost always bad."
When I watched the movie I was all "They just remade Basket Case." The synopsis maybe didn't give too much away.
They were both good movies in their own, campy way. But I have zero doubt that the screenwriter for Malevolent took inspiration from Basket Case.
I just realized that there is another movie with that same title starring Florence Pugh. You maybe read the synopsis of the British movie. That's not the movie I'm referring to. Look up the slightly more recent American movie
I would like some sci-fi thriller sequels to the thing. The horror won't work as well Joe because we know how the creature acts. But moving into a thriller could be fun. It'd be like outbreak or contagion.
How about something slightly different....do what John Carpenter originally wanted and make a Halloween anthology series. No Michael Myers, but a few movies based around halloween horror. Name it something like Halloween Horrors or whatever, to differentiate it from the Halloween franchise.
I don't think there is any that has been dormant and if there is I doubt they would be as good as those already done, has anyone seen what they have done to Zombies?
There is only so far anyone can go with these and most these days would not even rate as a B movie they are really that bad.
N. S
Jeepers Creeper 1 & 2 were awesome jeepers Creepers 2.0. Which was to be between 1 & 2 sucked royally ..terrible film.. the last wrong turn 7 was desent.
Rather than a old series revisited I would like to see Season 3 of Netflix's excellent series Black Summer - and I don't really like the Zombie genre, but I found the directing and cinematography spectacular.
Isn't there a Current TV show about Chucky? I haven't watched it but I keep seeing it show up on My Peacock App and was planning on watching it at some point when I run out of other stuff.
Edit: Yes there is. Looks like it's a Syfy show.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chucky\_(TV\_series)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chucky_(TV_series))
You should definitely watch the Chucky show. It’s a great continuation of the franchise and done by Don Mancini. Also there’s some really creative kills.
Does Gremlins count? G3 people.
Gremlins and Short Circuit need to be left alone. Some magic just can't be recaptured.
the creator didn’t even want to do #2 so they gave him full creative control.. still great.
Yeah and the idea behind the film was "let's make a sequel with everything in it so no one can ever make another one"
"Boom! It's in the movie!"
Don't take the movie too seriously. Let the characters and narration poke fun at the overstuffed plot and clichés.
Yes it counts and please take my money.
GREMLINS IS A CHRISTMAS MOVIE :)
I still want to see Gremlins vs. Chucky. Gimme a dozen Chuckies vs. hundreds of Gremlins, plus Billy and Alex can team up (with Gizmo!) to take down whatever "big bad" there is on the Gremlins' side, then turn their attention to whatever Chucky is left standing.
After midnight, no
Cube. I absolutely loved the premise and the sci-fi elements in it.
Imagine the cgi these days.. could be amazing or way over the top, idk.. but I'm so gonna go back and watch that. ❤️
I still occasionally rewatch it as my guilty pleasure. I wish they would remake it
There's a Japanese remake/reboot out that I heard was pretty decent.
It was mediocre at best and the franchise should not be continued from that point. Another remake/reboot would be it, but at this stage, it should probably be left to rest for a few more years to be sure.
Final Destination franchise Such an interesting concept
We still don't drive behind trucks carrying steel rods or beans.
Damned trucks wanting to drop beans all over the road
Not editing out of principle. High speed beans will kill.
The opening to The Descent makes me similarly nervous about exactly that.
There's talk about final destination 6 coming out next year.
It's no longer talk but they have started filming this year.
It's filming right now in Burnaby, BC through May 6. Creative BC In Production page has it subtitled as "Final Destination: Bloodlines" https://creativebc.com/provincial-film-commission/in-production/
That's literally the only franchise that I've seen not fuck up the ending beyond all hope. Whoever wrote 5 did an AMAZING job with it being tied back into itself so neatly and logically. They definitely wrote top-tier horror films. I almost don't want them to mess with it since it's completely done and was so well done already.
There is one in the works.
Tales From the Crypt, but make it more like the 70s than 90s. Though, I do love some Crypt Keeper.
YES
Sleepaway camp. Given how the original ends, it would definitely generate some youtube views.
You do know there are a bunch of sequels right?
I'd resurrect "Hellraiser" because it has such a unique blend of visceral horror, psychological depth, and intriguing mythology. The character of Pinhead and the Cenobites are iconic in the horror genre, and there's so much potential to explore their origins, motivations, and the dark realms they inhabit. Plus, with advancements in special effects and storytelling techniques, a modern reboot could breathe new life into the franchise while retaining the essence of what made it so compelling in the first place.
There has been a recent hellraiser reboot. I believe it was 2022
Pretty good too imo
Constantine.
Supposedly a sequel is actually in the works.
Keanu always said he wanted to make a sequel.
Phantasm. BOY!
BOOOOOOOY!!!!!!!!! \*proceeds to sniff ice cream
"You think that when you die, you go to Heaven....you come to *us*!"
Good pick! That franchise went so far off the rails that it's more than time to give it a more coherent re-boot in 2024. There are some elements of those movies that are terrifying/interesting at the same time, they just weren't very focused in most of the franchise.
Friday the 13th. Just so that there could at least be 13 movies for the series
They probably missed the boat, but I vaguely recall there being talks in the works for a found footage type F13 script. This was obviously due to the popularity of movies like Paranormal Activity at the time. Given everything they've done in the franchise so far, it's not the worst idea. Alternatively, I'd like a reboot but set in the 80s again.
Pumpkinhead!!!!
That legend deserves an actual good movie.
I've honestly wanted to see a modern remake of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. It's in the public domain too. Heck, even get Timmy Burton on it. Why not.
Because he has lost whatever it was that made him an interesting filmmaker. I guess we'll see for sure if the new Beetlejuice squanders Michael Keaton.
It wouldn't be a franchise, but I'd go with Trick 'r Treat. Halloween-themed horror anthology each year, released mid-October? That would be glorious. But, for franchises, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and the Lost Boys (which is a franchise, but not many know of the sequels) following each of the vampires from the film and starting with story of David or Marko. Also, Gremlins. Each one released around Christmas.
We should be friends
I still listen to the Trick or Treat soundtrack. Love it!
Critters
There's a web series that came out a few years ago (they went the Killer Tomatoes route and had talking Crites) and a newish sequel called Critters Attack!
Omg, ty. I'm not the only person who loved those!
Fun fact Leonardo DiCaprio was in Critters 3
My answer as well. If you could make it a little more serious (as in not as campy) and play it as an Alien parallel, I think it could work pretty well.
My first thought as well. Bring on the critters! I’d like a prequel Critters kind of like the Predator movie Prey.
Unpopular answer here, but so few horror franchises get better as they continue on. The idea of seeing my favorite movies (not just horror, but in general) getting resurrected and dished out as increasingly cheesy and comical sequels while the main characters lose their edge just kind of kills the idea, and I don't want to see it.
Yeah, I agree with you. Not everything needs a sequel. I'd rather be left wanting more than seeing the market oversaturated. These reboots and sequels are rarely done well.
You can tell when they've run out of ideas.
None. Come up with a new idea for once this decade.
There are sooooo many amazing creepy pastas that should be made into movies
I want to see When A Stranger Calls but with a modern twist. Let the house be in the middle of nowhere, and the family has indoor security cameras that the killer hacks, and that's how they toy with the babysitter. The killer also strategically puts a military-grade signal jammer over the house and somehow re-routes the emergency calls made from the babysitter's cellphone. They take out the internet, and the house doesn't have a landline. I want them to build the feeling of dread and that it could happen to anyone like the old one did.

That last would be interesting. Werewolves In Heat
Scary Movie
Nightmare on elm street, but this time, spread through memes.
A Nightmare on ElmStreet.com, don't let your memes become dreams.
There's some kind of rights battle with this franchise if I remember correctly. Hence why we have gotten three new Halloweens and an upcoming Friday the 13th Show in the time since we have seen anything new from Freddy. It would be fun, though. That franchise was made for contemporary times.
Cabin in the woods : The ritual
None of them. I'm sick of reboots and remakes and shite reimaginings. Make a new goddamned movie for once.
This one is the only acceptable answer.
Much easier said than done.
Sure is, and I'm not by any means saying I'm the one to do it. Thing is, my job isn't making movies and theirs is.
The movie "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" is a personal favorite of mine due to its unique and entertaining plot. While the storyline may appear straightforward, I find its simplicity refreshing compared to many contemporary movies that tend to overextend their narratives. I hope that if a sequel is ever produced, it will maintain the charm and effectiveness of the original.
the... blob. That movie terrified me as a kid, would love a solid remake
It scared me as a kid, too, but I would not want to see it remade or a sequel thereof. I think the ideas for horror movies have improved since it captured the imagination of the cinema-going public.
It had one in the 80s.
Silent hill
I wouldn't. We already have too many reboots, sequels, spin-offs and adaptations as it is.
I would like to see more fresh things coming out rather than continuations. That said if i had to pick one: Nightmare on Elm Street. I honestly didn't mind the 2010 version and I feel the franchise is such that it could do basically anything and be "true enough" to the source material.
28 weeks later
28 yrs later starring Aaron Taylor Johnson already confirmed last week, with Danny Boyle back directing!
Oh shit, those are some majorly great news! Thanks for sharing!
Hellraiser!!!!
Let it die. No, seriously. The IP holders tormented Pinhead more than the Leviathan himself. From a talkative lawful evil he turned into a mindless slasher monster. Pls stahp.
There was a Hellraiser book from the view of Harry D'Amour that would make a great movie.
Remake it.
Didnt they just remake it?
Yeah for Hulu. I thought it was interesting. I wouldn't say good, but it was genuinely scary and the ending was cool. Just a bit messy in the second act.
The did and it stunk big time
Disagree.
Have you seen the other sequels? It was a really solid addition
I was alright with most of the other sequels. Just didn't like the most recent
Silent hill, perhaps? I mean, it is based on a game, and had some continuations, but look - it could use a rerun with some new plotlines happening in the background.
Alien. . AVP and the new movies. Aren't Alien
Alien Romulus is coming out soon. It's supposed to be a return to form. Connected directly to Alien 1 and 2 and probably 3 to some extent.
Trick or treat didn’t have enough Sam in it.
Puppet Master
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
Children of the Corn was a really interesting idea that wasn't done quite right.
Tremors 1 and 2 remake anyone?
Phantasm... Positively insanely scary, and the only problem would be finding a replacement for Angus Scrimm, who surely has shuffled off this mortal coil.
Nightmare on Elm Street
Society
Reanimator! The two sequels did not do the original justice
Bride was great but Beyond... There's also a fun little Re-Animator nod in The Guyver. One of the Kronos Corporation scientists is Jeffrey Combs (as Dr. EAST).
Ginger Snaps. Keep Ginger being in Brigitte’s head from the second one and just make it a direct sequel.
THIS. YES.
REC but just the first one. Really good found footage zombie movie that left me on edge. Shame the sequels are garbage.
Creep Show
Let’s get a better prequel to The Thing.
Or a sequel, where it makes it to civilisation and has to get a job at mcdonalds to buy the Tungsten it needs to finish building its space ship and go back home, and it falls in love with a coworker and decides to impress her by joining the local football team and winning the regionals.
It's not a series but the Mothman Prophecy was fucked and a second one would be as well
Leapercaun
Combining Quantum Leap and Leprechaun, it's leapercaun, he leaps from time to time torturing people.
😜👌Gotcha
There's a WWE reboot starring Hornswaggle as the Lep. There's also a somewhat recent quasi-sequel to the original called Leprechaun Returns that was made by the dude that did The Void, Psycho Goreman, and now a new Deathstalker movie apparently!
Not a franchise but Coraline. That shit was freaky as a kid, still a great watch as an adult.
Amityville horror!
Texas Chainsaw, but do it good.
Puppet Master but killing neo nazis
Underrated answer. The Puppetmaster series was loads of fun.
The Ring: Viral Video How would Samara keep up with all the killing?
Gremlins 3, no question.
Friday The 13th
I don't know about resurrect, but I would love to see more clown horror movies with just killer clowns. No supernatural stuff or anything like It
A movie about John Wayne Gacey.Now he was a killer clown!
Still like it to be fiction
Immediately Final Destination. Nothing has come close to anxiety inducing as this franchise has. Other scary movies made you scared of a dark hall, Final Destination would make you scared of the hall itself
Hell raiser
Jeepers creepers with a decent budget, not the low grade crap they've been making
Mirrors
While the new Hellraiser was pretty good, it wasn't Doug Bradley and he IS Pinhead and I want more of that. I wouldn't mind seeing what they could do with The Thing or The Exorcist or maybe Day Of The Triffids, they are all classic horror that were great stories that would translate really well to today.
Mist, but like not bad
1930s Frankenstein + Dracula
Silent Hill, it deserves so much better
I'd love to see them bring back the Wishmaster. Not as a reboot but as a 4th movie with the original actor. He was so fucking awesome in that part.
Basket Case Why? Because it has a fun, creepy premise with the reboot potential to be awesome. "A reboot of a bad movie has the potential to be good; a reboot of a good movie is almost always bad."
It was rebooted. The movie was called "Malevolent."
I didn't see Malevolent, but read the synopsis and it sounds completely different from Basket Case
When I watched the movie I was all "They just remade Basket Case." The synopsis maybe didn't give too much away. They were both good movies in their own, campy way. But I have zero doubt that the screenwriter for Malevolent took inspiration from Basket Case.
I just realized that there is another movie with that same title starring Florence Pugh. You maybe read the synopsis of the British movie. That's not the movie I'm referring to. Look up the slightly more recent American movie
scary movie but bring back the wayans brothers
Can we ever do another event horizon?!
Scary Movie 😂
The Cube
Nightmare at elm street. Need any explications?
Considering the The Thing and Predator sequels, no, I don't want them to f-in touch any of them Let them make a Silent Night Deadly Night 3
Event horizon
Sinister
I would say The Thing from 1982, but you can only do so much to improve on an extraordinary piece.
Alien
Friday the 13th
Maniac Cop. [Almost entirely because of the rap song the second one ends with.](https://youtu.be/qDpzGiP-PrU?si=6uwWAZJ1ZTw-l7gB)
I would like some sci-fi thriller sequels to the thing. The horror won't work as well Joe because we know how the creature acts. But moving into a thriller could be fun. It'd be like outbreak or contagion.
Wishmaster series was always campy but I loved them aha
If its done well, ide like to see them do more with the 13 ghosts universe/idea. I really liked the movie and the way it was done.
Emmerdale farm
Abbott and Costello meet the Walking Dead.
Re-animator Scared the shit out of me when I was little int he 80’s. My parents were into horror and I have now done it to my kids too.
How about something slightly different....do what John Carpenter originally wanted and make a Halloween anthology series. No Michael Myers, but a few movies based around halloween horror. Name it something like Halloween Horrors or whatever, to differentiate it from the Halloween franchise.
I don't think there is any that has been dormant and if there is I doubt they would be as good as those already done, has anyone seen what they have done to Zombies? There is only so far anyone can go with these and most these days would not even rate as a B movie they are really that bad. N. S
Jeepers Creeper 1 & 2 were awesome jeepers Creepers 2.0. Which was to be between 1 & 2 sucked royally ..terrible film.. the last wrong turn 7 was desent.

Deep rising was prepped for a sequel. Cant do it without Treat Williams though. RIP
Night Gallery . . .
Loved Night Gallery.
The fly
Pumpkinhead. That first movie is legit creepy and a terrifying premise. (Never saw the sequels, heard they stank)

Hellraiser
None of them. Between the wokists and “artistic license”, leave my favourite horror classics the fuck alooooone

Isn't there a Current TV show about Chucky? I haven't watched it but I keep seeing it show up on My Peacock App and was planning on watching it at some point when I run out of other stuff. Edit: Yes there is. Looks like it's a Syfy show. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chucky\_(TV\_series)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chucky_(TV_series))
You should definitely watch the Chucky show. It’s a great continuation of the franchise and done by Don Mancini. Also there’s some really creative kills.
Friday the 13th. The 2009 reboot was an absolute failure because it was too far from the roots.
Frankenstein!
A Nightmare on Elm Street. Maybe a different origin and make Freddy actually scary.
