Frankly, I was planning on doing a franchise breakdown of all the popular ones: Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc. But after sitting through all of these, I couldn't bring myself to watch all those shitty horror films, so the other franchise breakdowns are of slightly better films.

Seemed proud of it.<br /><br />The best thing? He told us that he never bothered seeing many of the sequels and didn't even know what number they were on (I took this class prior to Jason X being released). The only reason he ever knew one was being made was when he'd receive a fat check in the mail.<br /><br />Awesome.m.brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457418128925003938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-57771250172190698282012-10-25T22:30:20.233-04:002012-10-25T22:30:20.233-04:00Yes, when you mentioned that kill.
