    I loved Children of the Corn (1984) because of the score, the make up effects and Isaac being my number one favorite character. The music in the background was really scary and I really liked it and I liked the makeup effects with Isaac in that movie

    I would probably include the Human Centipede franchise. I'm not kidding, I stayed at a psychiatric hospital for a week to avoid hotel costs while waiting for my new apartment. And this crazy old lady played all 3 of them on Tubi. The staff didn't give a shit.

      I just did a lot of cocaine and told them I was suicidal. They can't turn you down. Even if you don't have insurance. At least in Rhode Island it's a thing. The place is called Butler Hospital. Very historic and well funded place. Definitely needs a good horror movie about it. Plenty of old abandoned and haunted buildings on the massive property. Had a good time there. Great food and horny damaged goods.​@@isral8765

    The 'Witchcraft' series is my pick for the #1 worst horror franchise & ironically it probably has the most sequels out of all horror franchises! There's like 20 of them! 🧙‍♀️

    You really need to expand into Japanese and Korean horror. Lotta good stuff. And try to watch the subtitled version for the love of all that's holy. I honestly hadn't pulled my The Grudge remake off the DVD shelves in quite awhile and was surprised at how well it held up recently. I haven't seen all the sequels, but The Grudge, The Ring, Pulse are definitely pretty solid. On the Korean side if you haven't seen The Wailing, Train to Busan or Parasite then you have something to look forward to. Have to agree on Children of the Corn. I mean, how many times are they going to f that story up? Maybe it's just not meant to be.

    4. Hellraiser

    People would refuse to say it, but Hellraiser as a whole franchise is pretty bad. The first one is horror movie royalty and the last one (the remake) wasn't that bad, but this franchise has 11 movies in it and only 2 are good and maybe 4 (bloodlines and 2) are watchable. Go ahead and rage away...

    Great video, Nick. The worst horror franchise of all time, in my opinion, is hands down the Children of the Corn franchise. I also really don't like the Hellraiser franchise, but I think the original film is fantastic. Also Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth is kind of fun, Hellraiser: Inferno, and Hellraiser: Judgment aren't too bad. I don't like any of the other Hellrasier films, though.

    I honestly never really liked jeepers creepers even before finding out about the director. The main leads were annoying, the references to other films didn’t feel earned because they did everything that they were making fun of and the creeper feels less like something actually meant to be scary and more like a twelve year olds edgy oc.

    I can’t disagree with you more on the Leprechaun franchise. The Leprechaun franchise is awesome. Lep in the Hood is not meant to be taken seriously. I love all of them except Origins. Origins is absolutely terrible. I’ll give you that. But the rest of them are awesome.
    I’ll definitely be on board with you on Jeepers Crappers. They are all dog 💩. Even the original. It is not good. It is crap. They are all crap. Screw those movies.
    Dude, the Wrong Turn franchise is also awesome. 1-6 is awesome. They are an awesome homage to 80s slasher movies. How can you not love those movies? The only one I hated was that terrible remake.
    Children of the Corn 1-3 are excellent. The middle ones are not very good. The 2009 remake is good. The 2023 remake is also pretty good.

Second for me is the Hellraiser franchise only the first stands as a good movie the remake is alright Pinhead and the cynobites look good but it just seemed neutered, not risque enough to be a proper Hellraiser flick. Everything in between is a hot stinking pile of garbage even part 2, with the only redeeming thing til 9 is Doug Bradley.
