Horror franchise \u2013 You\u2019re joking, not another one!\nYou\u2019re joking, not another one, is a quote made famous by Brenda from Bristol about another election. Brenda could also be talking about horror film sequels. Sequels that come so often they turn into that word \u201cfranchise\u201d.\nAre they any good, or are they just a Xerox copy of the original template. To make sense of it all, Lucy, Jeff, Graham and Neil discuss this horror film legacy. OK, so just Lucy and Jeff discuss it while Graham fiddles with the volume control and Neil hides behind that a mysterious crate in a corner of the room.\nLucy and Jeff each bring a favourite to the party and asks \u201cwhere did it all go wrong\u201d. Lucy has Saw and Jeff has Halloween.\nIt\u2019s not all negative as we talk about some themes that can actually work when played out over a series. Finally we ask, what horror films could do with a franchise \u2013 their scope just far too limited with one movie. The answers to this might surprise you.\nIf we have missed your favourite horror series off this list, please let us know. As always, it would be great to hear from you.\nTake care and stay safe \u2013 at least until the next Halloween show.
