Andrea Grimes: I mean MAYBE back in the 80s there might have been one or two but to suggest that franchises could become a staple of horror filmmaking in the modern era is just silly it's never gonna happen

Horror FRANCHISES you say? Resurfacing the same or similar premises and characters over time in multiple sequels and prequels? In the genre of HORROR??? I don't think either the industry or audiences would go for it. It would be totally counter to the whole history of the form.

Big bucks for the 'Quiet Place' prequel and 'Alien Romulus' won't assuage fears that the scary movie is becoming as franchise-dependent as every other theatrical genre.

Horror films as franchises!! lololol the suggestion is simply preposterous

One more to add:

Personally I'm looking forward to Midsommar 2: Endless Nights
