The fact that some of these franchises have such an ICONIC first movie, then completely fell off HARD with the sequels smh 🤦🏽♂️
Exactly,!!! They were never meant to be franchises, just a one and done, even most of the directors who did the first film in the franchise said the same thing, that says a lot💯
I feel bad for Jonathan Breck. The dude clearly loves playing The Creeper but the films never do him justice.
I think the first two films are a lot of fun. 3 just felt unfinished.
he was absolutely amazing in the first one. That film is a classic imo. He was great in the second one too, the best thing about that movie.
He deserves an A list "Creeper" film.
Jeepers creepers is one of my favourite horror movies and it’s an absolute shame how the franchise went
Yeah it had potential, but it was Just ruined by terrible execution, meandering around, and The Director Victor Salva 😡
Nothin hurts my heart of my inner child more than the lost potential of what could’ve been with jeepers creepers.
Jeepers~ Creepers~, where did you get those peepers~ 🎶
Maybe if Jeepers Creepers was directed by perhaps James Wan, Guilermo Del Toro, or Wes Craven, it would have been more talked about than it really is. Wes Craven I think could have made the Creeper even more of an iconic horror monster and given fans the story of Trish and the dad teaming up together to find out about the origins of the Creeper and figuring out how to kill him once and for all. It’s unfortunate about the icky infamy that surrounds the actual director, because the Creeper had so much potential to become an icon. Justin Long, Gina Phillips, Ray Wise and Jonathan Breck are pretty much still the reasons to even watch the first three movies. Jeepers Creepers Reborn also had so much potential to be better than Jeepers Creepers 3, especially since Victor Salva wasn’t gonna be involved with the making of the movie. And yet, turned out to be worse than Jeepers Creepers 3.
Yep I agree bro I think I think you’re more Del Toro or Wes Craven wanted an a lot better job I don’t know I think even Sean Cunningham could’ve took a swing at the creeper made it better. I’m sorry the first jeepers creepers is the only one I like Victor Salva he looks like he’s a creep anyway but I think that’s the only movie I’ve ever seen from but no I think I would’ve like to see you I think even Sam Raimi could’ve took a stab at jeepers creepers. I would’ve been good they could’ve had ash crossover with the creeper because he kind a looks like a dead out. Honestly, I think there’s so many other directors beside Wes Craven, and even I think even yeah there’s so many other directors that are around beside Wes Craven they could’ve done a good job. Even Carpenter could’ve took a good shot at the creeper other than that there’s so many other people but no Sam Raimi would be a good choice for two he’s got the eye for that kind of humor.
They did his origins in comics, he's some ancient Mayan god that lived to modern day from what I remember.
The fact Michael Caine missed excepting his Oscar to film Jaws the revenge is still one of the funniest stories to me.
Great list man as always
Accepting* hate to be that guy.
@@agvga5510 Don't feel too bad for him. "I have never seen it, but by all accounts, it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific!" said Michael Caine in reference to Jaws: the Revenge. He was apparently paid $1.5 million for a week's work of shooting in the Bahamas.
I'd love to see a Top 10 worst comedy franchises and worst Action franchises
💪👍
Porkys I like the first offensive one its funny for its time 😂😂😂 the second one have its moments and the ending to the third one was Hilarious but all in all idk 🫤
Police Academy, Ernest, 3 Ninjas; that list would have a lot of crap to sift through.
Expendables and Fast and Furious for sure. E3 and E4 were terrible and Fast and Furious has failed for X and 9, along with the 4th and 6th entries being forgettable as The Rock began to eclipse Diesel. Most people only saw F7 and F8 because of Walker, and F5 was lightning in a bottle because of Diesel breathing new life and adopting a Latin angle instead of African American.
My heart is gonna be both broken and understanding if Friday the 13th made this list. 😬
Let's see
Cody tends to be pretty hard on Friday the 13th, but I can't quite see him saying it's one of the worst horror franchises...especially with all of the other crap he's seen.
It came close!
Well I mean Friday The 13th is technically bad on purpose, mainly because it's a concept where it's like "this shouldn't work like at all but yet it does."
@@CodyLeachYTJason 🐐 tho so you couldn’t do it. Ahahah
When it comes to Jeepers Creepers, i definitely feel like it should get a Never Hike Alone style fan film especially since i saw an interview with Jonathan Breck saying he would play the character for almost nothing. He also ranted on Reborn in that interview which was nice
I agree. It needs to be taken in and given some TLC by a fan who isn’t afraid to associate with it.
We need a true fan to take over the franchise and make one proper sequel/prequel movie. Returning characters from the first 2 movies coming together to defeat the creeper for good while also showing what the creeper is and where it came from.. don't just give the movie to writers and directors never seen the franchise, let a true fan do something with it.
@@andrewpayne5093Yes, the franchise started strong, controversy aside the character of the Creeper is cool, and the franchise could be great with extra care
If he will play the character for almost nothing, why didn’t he return ?
@fallen119 because he was never contacted by the people who made Reborn. Not even as a consultant to the new actor. I think it had to something to do with him not being a part of a specific union but that's still shitty to not even call him as an adviser
1. Children Of The Corn
2. Puppet Master
3. Leprechaun
4. Silent Night Deadly Night
5. The Blair Witch Project
6. The Howling
7. Wrong Turn
8. Jeepers Creepers
9. The Exorcist
10. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Yes to Puppet Master! I just commented this too. Eleven mainline movies and NONE are good.
Hellraiser 1 and 2 are up there as my favourite horror films, having to explain to people as a franchise though its terrible is painful...
@@gRinchY-op5vr Hellraiser 1-3 and the remake were good. The rest not so much
Puppet Master would be my #1 with a mile or 2 (or several) ahead of all the rest that both you can Cody picked haha... w00f!
Can't forget the Silent night deadly night franchise 😂
The Lost Boys would make my top 10, and it's definitely my number 1 pick for "it shouldn't have been a franchise" after watching what they decided to do with the two sequels
Sequels? That never happened as far as I know😂
I love The Lost Boys it is in my top three favourite movies of all time. The two sequels are one of the worst movies I have ever watched
@T_R_O_Y_McClure there's atleast 2 sequels I'm afraid...
Love how Texas Chainsaw is lower on this worst list than Critters. Even though it’s been years, I’ll never get tired of Bryan talking about his love of Critters, his hatred for Texas Chainsaw, and the crap that Cody, CP, and Sean continue to give Bryan for making them have to watch the Critters films.
I think i speak for everyone when i say, that you need to give us a definitive Children of The Corn ranking list. Full details, Complete break downs. We need this.
Seconded.
As much of a die hard Halloween 1978 fan I am, an argument could be made for it with the messy timelines and the fact that while some of the sequels are enjoyable movies, none come close to the original. Halloween 3 is the second best but the anthology route was abandoned.
While I certainly agree none of the movies lived up to the og theirs plenty of decent to good ones like h2, h2018, kills (controversial I know), h4, h3 and h20 that put the franchise higher
Halloween is a good franchise,I like all but 3 of the movies.
It's the worst of all the popular horror franchises but not worst overall.
I'm genuinely shocked that the Amityville series didn't make the list
I think that's only because he hasn't seen them
Those are on my list. 🤮
Yeah that franchise might be the worst 👍
There are just too many of them to put Cody through that nightmare, but it would definitely make my list.
Same. They literally made a movie about a haunted clock...
Pinhead’s look in Revelations never fails to make me SCREECH with laughter. Looks like in a few years’ time, there will be another entry to this list …
“Oh bother.”
I don't hate on that movie because it was quickly slapped together just to keep the rights to IP as remake was stuck in development hell for ages and last official Hellraiser movie came out in 2005. Think you must make one movie every couple of years otherwise you lose the right and you have to renew license to IP again, so it was cheaper to just slap some $2-3 millions direct-to-video sequel.
jeepers creepers couldve been huge, the only one who made me scared to take the trash out as a kid because i just imagined him flying in outta no where
1&2 both hit. The director and everything after 1&2 are horrific in the bad way
Jeepers Creepers and the second movie are the only watchable ones.
I'd personally add Sleepaway Camp to this list. While the first film is a fun schlock-fest with a legitimately good twist ending, the sequels are just plaint obnoxious. The first movie worked because despite being really poorly-made all around, you can tell there was an earnest effort behind it which adds a lot of unintentional humor. The sequels are all bad on purpose, which rarely translates as enjoyably in my opinion.
Naw, the second sleepaway camp is fun. Id even like the third one if it actually showed the kills and didnt feel pg13.
To each their own. I didn’t like them at all.
Nah. The sequels are fun. Sure they're slackfest. I would never go to theater to watch a movie like that. But yeah they can be a fun watch.
I recommend reviewing
The Good The Bad and The Ugly
Seven Samurai
Lawrence of Arabia
Once Upon a Time in The West(1968)
The Bridge on The River Kwai
Yojimbo
Rio Bravo
all the classics of the 60’s and 70’s
The issue for me as well is that with too many of the Hellraiser sequels beyond the third is that they were not written as Hellraiser movies and to better sell them, they forced "Hellraiser" into the story, so it doesn't work as a coherent story.
1. Wrong turn (loved the original the rest are terrible)
2. The return of the living dead (again the first one is one of my favorite horror comedies but the rest are terrible)
3. The grudge (I just couldn’t get into any of these. Thought they were terrible)
4. The exorcist (1 and 3 are awesome but the rest are either meh or terrible)
5. Hellraiser (after the first 4 films this franchise went really downhill)
6. Blair witch (how this became a big franchise I’ll never understand)
7. Jaws (first 2 are the 2 best shark movies ever but 3 and 4 are so bad it destroys the franchise)
8. Children of the corn (they literally have tried and tried and have missed every single time. The original first 2 films are decent but the rest are terrible)
9. Poltergeist (the original is awesome and the rest are bad)
10. Jeeper creepers (literally biggest missed franchise of all time)
Pretty good list. The Grudge films bored me to tears. The Poltergeist sequels and the remake all sucked. JC isn't that bad if you ignore Reborn. 3 felt like half a movie but it had potential. Didn't really enjoy the first Blair Witch and hated the sequel with a passion. I thought the big budget remake was better. However, I'd probably never watch any of those again.
Blair Witch got destroyed by the greedy film houses
Wrong Turn 2 it's as good as the first one, the hellraiser reboot is great and the second and third films of The Return of the Living Dead are good.
@@talesxavier5752 3 was ok it just wasn’t my cup of tea because it was more romance. 2 felt like a parody of 1, I didn’t enjoy it what so ever. Wrong turn 2 I can see why someone might find it entertaining but to me it goes way too Halloween resurrection with the film students in the woods and the lower budget make the killers look not as real but Henry Rollins kinda saves it.
Was half expecting Halloween franchise for number 1 just to troll “those fans”. Great list
It honestly should have been on the list 😂. It shouldn't have been number one, though.
The first one is good, I don’t know about the rest
Eh, while several were pretty bad, there more that were either good or serviceable (mostly the latter) Friday the 13th had more misses, tbh.
Mentioning Halloween. I think it might actually have more time lines and reboots then Texas chainsaw massacre
I don't wanna hear those nasty words come out of that dirty little mouth ever again 😂
The JAWS franchise has a special place in my heart even if it doesn't compare in the slightest to the original masterpiece. It was my first horror movie franchise growing up and even if it does get worse with each film, it has a lot of merit to it. It's also a rare franchise where each installment, good or bad, keeps that nostalgic and gorgeous atmosphere feel to it from the original to the end so it is still respectable in that regard. With that being said, I will say that even though JAWS is my favorite horror movie, it's franchise is not my favorite horror movie franchise (that's going to like Final Destination I think)
I can watch 2 as a teenage hangout movie...with a shark, but the rest? Nope.
@@playedout148 3 is overhated imo. It has strong flaws that gave it a reputation but there's a lot more to love than there is to hate, even if the latter outweighs former
I do like the first 3 _Jaws_ 🦈movies, but of course _Jaws: The Revenge_ is one of the most terrible films ever made.
@@Joey7Z7Horror Yeah, but what is your favorite _Final Destination_ film out of the franchise?
@@fromtexas2734 easily the second one. It's like a combination of many great things from many of the other films and more. Clear Rivers returns? Check. Incredibly iconic opener which is now regarded as the best by most? Check. Unlikely likable characters like from the first movie? Check. FD2 has such a raw and nostalgic suburban vibe to me that makes it even more of an attractive film. I also think this movie has a great balance of realism in deaths. It is over the top but doesn't cross into being wacky which makes a perfect blend. It's also worthy to note that Final Destinations 1, 2, and 5 specifically are the movies that carry the actual story of the franchise and adds story so it isn't just gratuitous for fun unlike what so many people think (They also happen to be my top three favs but FD3 is still awesome too). FD2 is forever one of my favorite horror sequels of all time and for sure my fav of the series and Cody seemed to agree in his videos which I'm happy for
I'm surprised you've never brought up the Puppet Master series. It's got a staggering 15 films in the franchise, all of varying degrees.
Hey man, I’m a big fan of your channel! I love hearing you chat about films and I always appreciate your honesty. Keep doing what you’re doing!
I think I have a good 31 for 31 idea that you and the rest of the crew would have fun with.. how about a ranking of 31 best Stephen King adaptations? He’s my favorite author and I think there is a wide enough variety of quality and genre throughout his works that will make it fun. Just an idea, which I’m sure you get a lot of these! What do you think?
Cool idea! I was thinking 31 on 31 of true crime like zodiac seven silence of the lambs like true crime serial killer films
For someone that’s a huge fan of horror there sure are a lot of movies you don’t actually like. Two more bad franchises are The Howling and Amityville Horror. I can’t believe how many Amityville movies there are and most suck
My ranking of The Howling films are first film is a classic that is a must watch, film 2 is decent but not as good as the first film, films 4, 5, 6, the 7th film New Moon Rising, and the reboot The Howling Reborn are meh, and the 3rd film is a trainwreck on every level.
Every time I remember that Michael Caine was in Jaws IV it send me into a tailspin!!!
Gotta love the Barking shark seeking revenge from across the oceans 😅😅
Critters was actually written before Gremlins but didn't get the greenlight until after Gremlins was a hit.
I don't care what anyone says. The Puppet Master franchise makes Children of the Corn look like a masterpiece
I imagine Saw X single-handedly saved the Saw franchise from being on this list
Jaws is my favourite film of all time, but I can’t argue the Jaws franchise deserves to be on here. Jaws 2 is a boring rehash, Jaw 3D is so bad it’s good for me but still technically a awful movie and Jaws The Revenge is the film I hate the most, kinda like you and Sean with Alien 3 Cody, keep up the great work love ya stuff
Hi Cody, have you thought about checking out the new movie called "ISS"? Seems somewhat interesting of a story but heard it didn't play out like that on screen. Love the vids btw I watch them all!
Let's see, I expect to see Poltergeist, Hellraiser, Aliens, Predator, Jeepers Kreepers, Texas Chainsaw, Exorcist, The Grudge, Wrong Turn, hell there's plenty to choose from
Leprechaun too
@@ryanchoate9146Gremlins, Candyman, Hills have eyes, Jaws, Children of the Corn, Rob Zombies movies, I mean damn there's too many.
I was bored silly by ALIEN cuz it was so much like IT. THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE from the late 50s. ALIENS was better even though it was grunts in space it wasn't as predictabke as the first. All the others were awful..
The Alien and Predator movies are awesome. What do you mean?
@@Mikey-em8hs The first Predator is amazing, and the Aliens or part 2 was excellent. The rest of the franchise, not so much.
Funny you should mention Spanish because I like learning new languages, too! I particularly like Spanish myself. I used to take a couple Spanish classes in middle and high schools but I'm not really fluent in Spanish. I've learned a little more Spanish from using my Google Nest Mini, but not a whole lot more. I've heard that Babbel is good for learning another language, so I'll give it a try sometime! Meanwhile, let's see if you can guess what this Spanish phrase means in English: "¡Confinamiento Solitario en la Cárcel Estado!" How about this one? "¡Biblioteca Silenciosa!" Or lastly, this one: "¡Amanecer de los Muertos!" I know how to say some dirty things in Spanish, too, but I won't do that here! Please mention me in a future video if you don't mind! I'm curious as to if you know what those Spanish phrases above mean in English! I do! I use them a lot when I mess around with my Google Nest Mini personal assistant! Hint: the last one is the name of a great movie when it's translated to English!
The first Jeepers Creepers is loosely based on something that happened in the town I live in.
Cody, bit off topic but have you watched the tv show named From? It’s on mgm+ I think it’ll be something you’d like. It’s a similar premise to lost but with vampire like creatures and other horror stuff.
you saved me Cody from wasting my money on the "WRONG TURN" series, i was considering on buying the all in one set, but between listining to my gut, then seeing your review episode, i changed my mind, thanks again.
Just watch the 1st one
The wrong turn movies are my guilty pleasure💀💀
The first one is very fun tbh...and Cody also likes the remake, which is a different direction but still worked for me. The only mistake they made with the remake is it should have never been a "Wrong Turn" film to start with...as a separate film that stands on its own it's very good. The rest of them are absolute gutter trash
Just watch 1-4
@@EnchantedTooWell guessing after that it gets dumber.
Great list Cody! :)
Yeah, from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, I only like the original, the 2003 remake and some bits of The Beginning. To me only the original good Exorcist-movie is the first.
It’s honestly very hilarious that you compared the 4 Jeepers Creepers movies to the 4 Jaws movies in terms of quality because Victor Salva, aside from being a [REDACTED], was actually a HUGE fan of the first Jaws movie. Apparently, it was recorded that he saw Jaws 56 times in the theatre.
I couldn’t agree with you more about the 1974 original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the 2003 remake Cody! They are both bone chilling, terrifying, and really worth all praise and accolades from audiences and fans of both films. Critters, Tremors, and Leprechaun definitely belong in the list among the worst horror franchises aside from The Exorcist and The Omen (I really love the original of both but I’m not a fan of the sequels to both franchises. Sleepaway Camp is a guilty pleasure of mine but the sequels are really not worth watching in my honest opinion. I’ve never seen the original all the way through the runtime but i was not expecting the worst to be the Children Of The Corn franchise.
Got some food for thought for ya Cody.
My least favorite horror franchise is the Ring.
You're probably wondering how. To summarize:
•There are actually 13 films.
•The series has as many attempts to reboot as Texas Chainsaw Massacre, except the series flip-flops between timelines. So the 4th movie might be from timeline A, the 5th from timeline B, the 6th is back to timeline A, the 7th is timeline C.
•Some of these movies commit absolute cardinal sins when it comes to horror movie sequels and bad decisions.
•Worst case of sequelitis ever since the timelines steal ideas from each other.
The Ring is a sleeping giant when it comes to bad franchises.
No he is not wondering how
Wrong turn worser
@@JACQUEZJOHNSON23...worser?
@@sarkaztik3228 yea I said it
@Cody thank you for all the reviews, the before and after you see a film first takes, and your top 10 and insane rankings :). I hope you get enough views and such to make time away from wife and kids worth it. You make so many bad days much better man to man Thank You Sir.
I’d be interested in seeing Cody put that Babbel sponsorship to the test and eventually post a video entirely in Spanish. That will definitely prove that Babbel is a good and worth it service 😂🤣😂 kind of just kidding 😉
My friend whos just recently started getting into horror came back to me and said TCM was his favourite franchise and my mind was blown! Especially cause hes seen all the Evil Deads😂
He has yet to watch any of the Nightmare or Chucky films though ☺️
Great video Cody!
The exorcist franchise is a shambles. BUT, I highly recommend The Exorcist series. Holy fuck season 1 is basically my timeline in my head, it is a great carry on of the original film in my opinion
That series is criminally underrated. I was so disappointed when it was cancelled after the second season.
It sucks how soo many people still haven't seen that show. It actually nailed how to do a Sequel to the exorcist right. Not that Exorcist 3 wasn't good, it just kinda felt like it's own thing until the very end
The second season is awful. The first season is actually really good
16:02 Can confirm, watched all of them in a week last October and seriously contemplated stopping about 10 minutes into Leprechaun in Space. Thankfully I survived.
I don’t understand how there are so many Children Of The Corn movies like I don’t think there was really anyone out there demanding more Children Of The Corn, never mind 11 movies of Children Of The Corn.
They are cheap to make. Cast creepy kids. Bad special effects. Attempt to profit.
I don’t necessarily disagree about The Exorcist’s inclusion on this list. But I have to point out that I thought The Exorcist TV series was excellent.
Hellraiser
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Jeepers Creepers
Wrong Turn
Jaws
Nightmare on Elm Street
Leprecaun
Critters
Carrie
Wishmaster
Tremors
Gremlins
Children of the Corn
I'll be honest no movie has screwed me up for life as much as Jaws has. I watched the first one when I was little, and the sequels as I was growing up. I'm almost 40, I'm a great swimmer, but I still get the heebie-jeebies swimming in any kind of deep water. Even in like a 10 foot deep pool, I get this unnerving feeling of danger. Oceans and deep lakes is another story...I can't shake that unnerving fear of the dark depths below, and what might come out of there. I actually got to experience that feeling directly when I swam with Dolphins. Even after meeting them at first and knowing they're dolphins, being out in the deep with them, and watching this large shadow rise out of the dark depths, and come straight at you at speed...oof...Though overall thay was a ton of fun, the lizard part of your brain is sorta screaming at you to GTFO of there.
Paranormal Activity is essentially, watch nothing happen to people you don't care about.
I remember when you kept getting Victor Crowley and Victor Salva mixed up on one of your Jeepers creepers reviews. I actually discovered you from your Hatchet reviews my senior year of High school
But Cody, Children of the Corn II is memorable for having no less than 3 conflicting explanations for why the kids kill, none of which are religious hysteria. There’s ergot poisoning in the towns corn supply, the land sits on a ley line that concentrates evil forces, and we literally see the leader kid get possessed…what a tightly wound thrill ride!
Was beginning to think Children of the Corn wasn't going to make the list. Those movies suck! I love King, but that story has been done to death!
As someone who is a huge fan of Werewolf movies I have a mixed feeling about The Howling franchise which has 8 films in it 7 main ones, a reboot, with a 9th film on the way that being a modern-day remake of the first film that's being directed by Andy Muschietti the director of Mama and the IT films that is dropping on Netflix and it also has a upcoming comic book series in the works titled The Howling: Revenge of the Werewolf Queen that's supposed to pick up right after the 1st film and ignore films 2 through 7.
Now my ranking of these films are The Howling the one that started it all is a all-time horror classic a must watch if you're into werewolf films, The Howling 2: Your Sister is a Werewolf is decent not as good as the first film but still enjoyable, 4: The Original Nightmare, 5: The Rebirth, 6: The Freaks, the 7th film New Moon Rising, and the reboot The Howling Reborn aren't bad films but not as good as the first two they're meh to me but the 3rd film is a trainwreck from start to finish I only watch that film when I want to binge watch the entire series other then that I avoid The Howling 3 at any cost.
100% with you on first 2 jeepers creepers films watched them when I was young kid so I can also separate the art from the artist as well
Please please please please please please please I'm begging you to Review my favorite movie the mothman Prophecies it's so underrated not many people even know it exists but please cody please just give it 1 watch
@cody are there any films that you think should have franchises that currently do not ? Horror films or any other genre ? I thought The Descent could’ve been a good candidate the 2nd film was just too lazy to warrant a 3rd film ; also loved The Skeleton Key would’ve loved a twisted sequel where Kate Hudson got her revenge !
I've seen a great horror movie once but can't find it. It's about a camp. And in that camp there was a goathead hanging on a wall . When you looked at it the goathead his tongue would swallow your head. After he swallowed your head you would turn into a zombie or possessed. Anybody know or seen this movie?
I knew Leprechaun was gonna be on the list but im ride or die with the first one and Returns and the Leprechaun is my 3rd fav horror icon behind Chucky & Pinhead
I kinda fell out of Film-UA-cam due to the overwhelming negativity everywhere, but I still love this channel. So relaxing and fun to listen to you Cody, keep up the great work!
Jeepers Creepers 2 is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. I love having Ray Wise as a badass good guy, and, being a fan of "Kickin' It" and having principal Eric Nenninger as the main villain is such a fun part. Only thing that holds it back for me is that we don't know what happens to most of the cast, and it feels incomplete that half the characters run into the woods and are never seen again
HI Cody, you are 1 of my FAV Male UA-cam Film & TV reviewer/critics (I also like Sean Chandler, Austin Burke, Ghost Pirate entertainment..., & Emma of Spooky Astronauts is my FAV female reviewer). I've seen The Original of most of these 10 movies, & the Remake of Wrong Turn I too really liked as It was well written, acted & directed.😊 I've Not even seen Orig. Children of the Corn yet, & Thanks to you I Won't watch Any of it's sequels, just the First film.👍 The Only movie I Disagree w/you on is The Exorcist Believer, as I really liked it; Pls realize in the 3rd act the Catholic Priest does come Bk in & join the group to try to help Exercise the Demon from the 2 girls, so the young priest was Not excluded. Tho I too Don't like how 1 of the girls attacked Ellen Burstyn's character & made her go Blind, I agree it was disrespectful, aside from that, I think the movie was well directed & acted & an Interesting New take on trying to Exercise an Evil Demon from 2 young girls, as I didn't mind that a few different religious or spiritual leaders were involved.
The best thing the children of the corn gave us was that episode of South Park that spoofed it
I agree with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and it dose hurt because it’s my top favourite horror films, and that being the original but yeah… It’s like they seem to not understand what makes the original so iconic and why it’s actually a very important film in movie making.
Sure I do like the second movie as a typical 80s dark comedy, such as the Friday the 13th movies and I do enjoy the gore and I love that Jim Siedow returned and you have the dead corpse of Nubbins (a.k.a The Hitchhiker) and you Dennis Hopper who plays Franklins brother.
So that film is a full on sequel but entirely different tone which I can see why separates it from the first original film. And I agree with the remakes in 2003, probably one of the best remakes in horror.
And it dose suck with 2013 which hurts a lot more because you had Gunner Hanson as a cameo and the prologue was pretty solid even though it’s flawed.
I think the only film that I can’t stand in the TCM franchise, is Leatherface which is supposed to be a prequel and the god awful Netflix film. Just that film can go f**k itself. Absolutely hate that film and it has so much disrespect to the original as well, especially as the character Sally returned for revenge which in all honestly, doesn’t make any sense at all. And that Leathface is now Jason Voorhees? No, mate lol
But yeah good list. Jaws, Exorcist, Hellrasier, etc
These films are some of the best films in horror movie making and they didn’t really need a franchise, at all. Just cash grabs I think. It’s the same with Halloween as well. The never ending morph of the mask! Lol
And Friday the 13th but that gets a pass because it gets funnier and creative until 7 that is when they started to do the cutting of the kills.. yeah.
I find all the TCM films entertaining except for parts 3 and the Next Generation which came out in a period when slasher films were becoming watered down. The third one was especially dull. The 3D and Netflix films were clearly cash grabs, but they had tons of gore and some cool chase scenes. I think part 2 and the Beginning get an unnecessarily bad rep.
Normally, a franchise being rebooted so often is a sign that the creative teams keep running out of ideas. However, you could make the case that series that attempt continuity like the Halloween series is even more frustrating due to how convoluted it is. With TCM, you can pick nearly any of those films off the shelf and have a good time with them.

"Before I get into the last three,..."
I could just hear Jay screaming at Mike on Wewatchedamovie,...
"I KNOW YOU CAN SPEAK, SPIT IT THE F**K OUT!!" 🤣🤣🤣
Re: children of the corn being repetitive. Couldn’t the same be said about Friday the 13th and a bunch of horror franchises? Jason kills a bunch of teens, gets “killed”, resurrects next movie (maybe goes to a different location), kills a bunch of people, gets “killed”, resurrects ….etc etc on and on and on .
Jaws started an incredibly significant trend in horror franchises, which I call "The Worst Sequel Until the Next One"
1)The Purge
2)Sharknado
3)Texas Chainsaw Massacre
4)Sleepaway Camp
5)Jaws
6)Hellraiser
7)Children of The Corn
8) Resident Evil
9) Critters
10) The Exorcist
I saw the title of your video and even before noticing jeepers creepers on the thumbnail it automatically came to mind and it’s soooo disappointing it had SO much potential to be a badass triology or more but with victor salva and then the new team who bought the rights just crapped on it. Here’s to hoping someone takes it and makes it what it always could be
If I was a film director and had the rights to jeepers creepers I would have made a fourth movie that had a Freddy vs Jason type of plot to it but instead have it be the creeper facing a creature like him that is a good guy
@@alexconn7473sounds like a badass concept. Need more monster fights.
Some other “great” horror franchises to check out:
- Puppet Master
- Gingerdead Man
- Evil Bong
- Silent Night Deadly Night
- Tremors
“This list is bullocks”
- Bryan Lomax 11:50
Also Cody, don’t you forget you had Critters 2 above where Bryan had it and the original just a few spots behind Bryan. I think you actually love this franchise without knowing it ;)
The Howling franchise should have def made this list
Hey Cody I definitely would love to have you on the channel sometime and how do I get hold of you for that
You should do update video from 2021 of Worst horror sequels since you watch Wrong turn 5 and 6 maybe because watching you suffer the wrong turn movies is funny and entertaining to watch Cody.
The creeper is such a terrifying and unique creature. The first film was amazing. Truly fear inducing. Should've stopped there 😂
It’s almost like you could have titled Exorcist 3 “Legion” and made only one Exorcist film.
Gracias por este video Cody, unexpected to see you fluently talking on a second language.. love to see it
7:35 The novelisation of 4 is even stupider since it says a witch doctor who hated the Brody's sent the shark after them. By that film you wonder why everyone hasn't moved away from Amity.
I think "The Grudge" movies are terrible, and "The Human Centipede" ones.
I forgot about the Human Centipede, and yes those movies are a train wreck
1. The Amityville Horror (aside from a few, this is a rough franchise to get through)
2. Children of the Corn (a few movies I enjoy but how is it so hard to do this right)
3. Hellraiser (aside from 1-4 and the 2022 film, this is a franchise that misuses it's title killer)
4. Paranormal Activity (after the fourth film, they started sucking)
5. Jaws
6. Slumber Party Massacre
Hurts seeing TCM on here but that leather & chainsaw can only carry so much
Children of the Corn the worst movies of all time (why can’t they just get 5-6 devious kids to kill 3-4 cool people ?!?!?!) …
Yessss my dude. The 2003 Texas chainsaw is my favorite of all of them. Alot of "gate keepers" hate ok early 2000s horror but some of my favorites are in that timeframe
I'd argue the Exorcist is one of the only franchises that has a negative number of good sequels. I know how much you love 3 and I'm a big fan too, but it seems to be guilty by association.
Honourable mentions
Amityville
The howling
I thought you might go with Children of the corn but i would argue that the first 3 are watchable.....trash but watchable.
They’re two I mentioned too. I’m shocked he never included Amityville. There’s so many of them and most are worse than Children Of The Corn movies
Great list did you consider the tremor franchise in this?. Disagree about Jaws 2 , it still holds up in my opinion. the other 2 are absolute crud though
The Netflix Texas Chainsaw Massacre was entertaining as hell.
I had fun with it. Most people seemed not to.
I have to point out, Critters was in works before Gremlins. Everyone assumes it was a rip off, but it wasn't it just happened to come out after. I do agree after the first 2 it went downhill fast.
as soon as i saw the notification i knew Hellraiser would be on it 😂 there's just so much shit they threw at the wall and there's legit only 2/3 great movies and 3 dumb fun ones. and it's sad how much they fumbled the bag with Pinhead because he's BY FAR the most under-utilized horror villain. glad the remake at least brought back the threat of the cenobites and i wouldn't mind seeing a sequel
The wrong turn series is really bad but it was so much fun watching cody reviewing the franchise.
Still sitting on my Jaws The Revenge island alone...eating cookies...GUILTY AS FUCK LOL I think it honestly has to do with the fact that it was the first I saw and I saw it as a child. Those visuals stuck with me. As an adult, I can see its ridiculousness, but GOD I love it.
Jeepers Creepers is STILL one of my favorite horror movies of the 2000s. Its one of my favorite creature movies. Reborn...what they did to that movie was a travesty.
I think my worst would be:
Children of the Corn
Amityville Horror
Puppet Master
Wrong Turn
Hellraiser
Exorcist
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Leprechaun
Alien (Save for 1 and 2)
Pet Semetary
As a giant fan of the first two Jeepers Creepers, i choose to ignore 3 and 4. They need to retcon everything. Bring on a full cast that can stick around 3-4 movies and create a coherent and contiuous story. And finally not wait X amount of years between each iteration. Those are just some basic suggestions. I know Hollyweird ignores conistent storytelling and actual art for more reboots and prequels etc.
Great List Cody! Here's my Top 15 Worst Franchises: (That have 4 entries or more)
15. Wrong Turn
14. Hellraiser
13. Leprechaun
12. The Howling
11. Exorcist
10. Jeepers Creepers
9. Puppet Master
8. Anaconda
7. Amityville Horror
6.V/H/S
5. Insidious
4. Ghoulies
3. Critters
2. Tremors
1. Children Of The Corn
You should make a top 5/top 10 found footage movies or even do a found footage horror tier list!
Two franchises (kinda one considering the crossover), that in the future I'd expect to be up here are Anaconda and Lake Placid. At least for some of the ones already on this list, the first or first two installments are considered actually good then drop off hard. Anaconda and Lake Placid are _fine_ for their first movies, then just become basic direct-to-tv or DVD garbage from the Syfy channel with the exception of Anaconda 2.
The one thing that really shocks me about Children of the Corn franchise is how they always get strong "B" actors to be in there films and do nothing with them. How do you get Michael Ironside, the leader of Rasczak Roughnecks, and not use him in your crappy horror movie (7th film in)? The man can do horror. He was in Scanners for crying out loud.
I'm glad to see that NONE of the best horror franchises are put in here by Cody: Saw, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Child's Play and Conjuring. :)
