You’re right. It would be interesting. I’m in my 60’s & read his books as they were published. I looked forward to the film versions & was disappointed until Misery. I apologize for my snarky comment!
i think because its a mixed bag it would be a great tier list! And i feel like some of the movies are very divisive (you either love them or hate them), so it would be fun to see
Yup was coming to comment this. Like when she put that as an option i thought of scream and thought ok scream is going there no arguments it just did. I know some of the movies were kind of disappointing but you can't question the importance of the first film
@@amayetheunicorn672 Texas Chainsaw Massacre really started the slasher genre though and the remake started the horror remakes so it definitely transformed the genre

Almost transformed the genre, right? I mean how many movies have we seen since where the way to beat the monster is to not be afraid/not think about it
I’m only partially into the video but I just want to acknowledge the enthusiasm and postive vibes coming from you in the video. Great to see you enjoying making this content for us horror enthusiasts out here!
I'd put Scream in Transformed the Genre, probably over Blair Witch, but that's because I don't particularly enjoy the Blair Witch films. I'm also surprised by some omissions like The Exorcist, Wrong Turn, Leprechaun, and the best horror franchise, Scary Movie! (j/k)
Scary Movie is that one franchise where the third is actually really really good... and the rest just aren't. That damn ceiling fan scene gets me every single time.
@@phantomkitten73 I actually really like the first 3. 4 was ok, 5 was trash. But im a fan of the Wayans family. And the A Haunted House movies were funny as well. But they aren't horror.
@@OGFacelessKing: I've only seen the first three, and they aren't as bad as they're made out to be, there is fun to be had in all of them... But the third one is the best. If you want to watch a truly fantastic horror comedy, check out One Cut of the Dead, that had me gut laughing through pretty much the entire third of it. (And don't look up anything about it beforehand).
No that’s Friday the 13th. Halloween didn’t start much besides the idea of slashers and some rip offs, but there’s slashers before Friday the 13th, and after Friday the 13th.
@@thomasffrench3639 lmfao that's not even the same thing, bud. All of the shark movies from the late 70s could be attributed to Jaws, but you're talking totally different genres at that point. Obviously slashers existed before Halloween (which was directly inspired by Psycho, Black Christmas, etc), but Halloween came out in 78. Friday the 13th was literally originally conceived as a rip-off of Halloween when it was still in theaters, as were a slew of other slashers that came out in the early to mid 80s. Friday the 13th ended up inspiring even more films and helped contribute to and really kick off the slasher craze, but literally the whole thing spawned directly from the release of Halloween. This is just fact.
@@King_Meatier and Star Wars was originally a Dune rip off, I don’t know how that’s relevant. Also the slasher genre was because of how Friday the 13th defined it, and Halloween was secondary.
Halloween definitely transformed the genre if it wasn’t for Michael Myers there would be no Jason or Freddy or just anyone after that John Carpenter made the first movie with barley any money it became one of the best horror movies ever and we have so many sequels afterwards that were still good & Scream deserves to be in Transformed the Genre too Scream brought back a dying genre in horror the slasher movies Scream was the 90’s to me I love all 4 of those movies I’m sure the 5th movie will be something special too
Kinda late reply but I would also say Laurie Strode from Halloween definitely made the trope the “final girl” as well, like she was TEE OG final girl and it continued to evolve overtime bc of her legacy. Halloween definitely transformed the genre in multiple ways!
@@rainischalk-late3540 I understand the passion, but with that logic, there would not be any halloween without a Texas Chainsaw Massacre which also include the real OG final girl in Sally Hardesty.
I think if they had stopped with Resurrection or even Alien 3 then I think this could probably be the best franchise ever - but Resurrection is....a fun popcorn movie at best and the prequels since....I dunno, the first one had some highlights but Covenant was a mess. But yes, the first two Alien movies I'd say are two of the top ten horror movies ever made.
@@gakutoigawa8177 I was going to go into more detail but what I meant is how it really kicked off having female characters no longer just have to be the ones being the victims in movies being chased and hunted down but instead actually fighting back and not have to be saved by men since they are capable of saving themselves. I feel like alien was the movie that really started that for future horror movies or even just movies in general
When I look at Ripley, I don't see a woman but only à great and BELIEVABLE character, which is very rare. In "Aliens" she's not the most clever nor the strongest but she gains respect and trust from the others by earning it. She's unlike all female characters that followed, and I wanted to emphasis that point, because "strong" female characters might have gone up in numbers after that but surely not in quality, especialy nowdays. Finaly I don't think Alien transformed the genre, but had a huge impact, for me at least, it left quite an impression on a 7 years old boy XD. I couldn't get enough that " I" bought the game " alien 3" on sega genesis back in 1992. ( I hope, I'm expressing well enough for you to understand, as you might notice english isn't my first lenguage)
I think It’d be transformed the genre, because it practically invented the concept of a summer blockbuster. Also, In my opinion, it really revolutionized how people build suspense in films. Great movie
Agree with her correction about "the ring". It clearly transformed the genre. It opened western audiences to Asian horror and it influenced Asian horror in general.
I’m glad other people feel this way! I love both so much!! And I hope they make another 4 conjuring movies 🍿🎥 Also just saw the new Scream movie and loved it!!!
It’s a shame, because I really enjoyed the first two, but after seeing 3 I never bothered with 4-6. The series definitely can be done well, but the writing and budget needs to be at least decent, which it rarely is.
@Spike I do like the snowy setting, I just never bothered since I didn’t like 3, and mostly heard that 4 was about equal. I might check it out at some point if it’s free though.
Nightmare can't be overhyped given that, unlike other slasher franchises, it introduced a hilarious villain. Non-talking villains is boring, it's not about "more atmosphere". If it comes to that, then Friday and Halloween are also overhyped, respectively, all the franchises I mentioned (and possibly something else) could be put into a separate category of overhyped classics.
I definitely think Scream transformed the genre because it really kicked off the "hero is actually the killer" and "the killer is calling from inside the house" tropes that we see all the time. these tropes have been done before Scream obviously but I feel that Scream made it become trending in a way
the "the killer is calling from inside the house" is actually from black Christmas, so that wouldn't count, but it definitely kicked off the "horror movie is actually making fun of itself and making fun of the entire horror genre while also contributing to it" genre that is so widely popular now and started to take off after Scream.
@@mariahslittlelamb8049 hey! i think you missed it so i’ll put a time stamp here for you! 1:09 anyways she clearly stated that these are all HER opinion:)
I disagree with a few but I love these kinds of videos. I'm always interested in other's tastes and opinions. Final Destination may not be iconic or transformative but it has definitely left lasting effects on people when it comes to road travel lol.
Same, but some of these still leave a sour taste in my mouth because what I love about rankings is hearing WHY you put that thing in that tier, and Sarah a lot of times justifies it just becase "I like it", "one of my favourites", "not for me", etc. I get it, it's your ranking and your opinions, but there's more than that to be talked about. Not everything is fully objective, but neither is fully subjective.
She contradicts and confuse herself when it comes to talking about her favourite horror genres. She literally prefer overrated horror films overall, she put overyped horror films into 'Transformed the genre' and put underrated horror film into the 'overhyped' category. She found Hellraiser to be too 'sick and demented' but is it not that the point of horror ? If you are a real horror fan you have a passion for the sick and demented, this just proves you that she is a hypocrite and a lightweight when it comes to horror. Yet she has Saw and Texas Chainsaw massacre, horror films which shocked audiences in terms of graphical violence as horror films among her favourites.
@@paulkowal9545 really? You seem to be the one who is contradicting themself. No offense of course. But it’s kinda mean to think you get to decide what it takes to be a”true horror fan”. Everyone has diff views on that. At the end of the day if you simply like watching your fav horror films, whatever they may be, you are a fan. There are no rules. Saying she puts “overhyped movies” at a certain tier again is another contradiction because you are putting your opinion above someone else’s. Your idea of overhyped is diff to someone else. She’s constantly saying ppl can disagree with whatever they want to she If ppl still choose to take offense to her tiers, that’s their problem. It’s all love here. I respectfully disagree with her Scream tier because it definitely changed/influenced the genre.
Respectfully, Paranormal Activity should have been left in transformed the genre. I also think Scream should have sat in there too. Great ranking though - the chaotic ones are the ones I enjoy the most
@@jimbowlan5804 really? I feel like if wasn't for PA we wouldn't have gotten Chernoybl Diaries, As Above So Below, the Pyramid, etc. Those found footage very low budget that was all over the place from 09-17
You can make that argument. To me I’d say it revitalized the genre. Found footage style movies had been kinda bad for quite some time and paranormal activity gave that genre a shot of adrenaline in my unqualified opinion. Love the paranormal activity movies so I’m not here to diss the franchise AT ALL.
Paranormal activity needs to be in just stop coz neither it transferred the genre neither its sequals were holding the name. And the last one was total crap
Agreed. yea transforming the genre should not be about enjoyment of the films. I have no particular love for Romero zombie films but I totally appreciate the impact they had
Paranormal Activity belongs in Overhyped or Just Stop. After the first one, the quality got weirder with each entry. It went from eerie creek in the floor bed found footage atmosphere to a rip off of Chronicle where a dude had super powers to walking through portals and catching demons with blankets.
I would argue that The Ring did actually transform the genre. Even though it's a remake(I think it improves on the original), its success spawned the entire supernatural horror trend of the 2000s.
One of the things I like most about your tier rankings videos is that you make your own categories. It’s not just “best/strongest- worst/weakest”, instead you give another perspective on it and I find it interesting
I would argue that Evil Dead has to be in "forever a classic" because out of all these horror movies on the list, how many resulted in their own tv series? Additionally, how many have spawned successful videogames and comics? Obviously you're right about fans liking it "just for fun" but it has nearly 40 years of a dedicated cult following. I don't think that being campy should somehow disqualify it from being "forever a classic."
It kickstarted the super hero film industry with sam raimi going on to direct spider man. It was a huge influence to many many many other franchises. She clearly is a bit biased so I let it slide but army of darkness alone is better than half of these horror “franchises”
Cabin Fever, Cabin the Woods, Evil Ed, Dead Alive (Braindead), pretty much the entire splastick genre, Quentin Tarantino movies (Kill Bill, Django Unchained, From Dusk Till Dawn), Drag Me To Hell, Don't Beathe, Deathgasm, and the list goes on. So many films owe the Evil Dead franchise a debt of gratitude for it's influence on the film industry inside and outside the horror genre. She's trippin. It's a definite classic and very seminal. Edit: If any of you want to see a movie that is very similar to Evil Dead from a stylistic and atmospheric respect check out the Japanese film "Evil Dead Trap". It's its own unique story (and very well done), but it does play off of overtly obvious elements of the original.
Never apologise for your opinion - Everyone is absolutely entitled to have their own views. For the most part I agree with your picks, but I would change some. IMO - Scream transformed the genre, Jaws will forever be a classic, Texas Chainsaw too. And The Conjuring is under hyped! I know that's not on your tier list, but I really think the first two films are up there amongst the best horror films ever made! And I think for the most part, the rest of the franchise delivers some really good movies.
Omg! I hear yeah! Freddy! The first movie is the scariest movie ever. Johnny Depp’s first movie ffs 😆 I hope you watch the franchise with new eyeballs.
@@brantcloyd5485 IMO I’d say overhyped for Hostel, and The Collector in Just for Fun. Wrong Turn is simultaneously a Just Stop and a “Please make more with good writing and a decent budget” for me.
I love the concept of the purge so much I will keep holding out hope they'll eventually do this idea justice. I feel like a talented writer could make some sharp criticisms with this dystopian world, if they would just devote some real effort and care.
they HAVE done it justice! it's a very political franchise and honestly the only one that isn't really good is the first one because its just a home invasion movie. The First Purge is probably the best out of all the films in the series, laying out the groundwork for the franchise and the in-universe political agenda of the purge. there are very blatant themes of racism and classism that criticize the real US government in a sometimes bold sometimes subtle way. there's also the TV show, which is incredible and shows the effects of the purge after, before and during the so called holiday. The Purge has already been fone justice
When I saw the Conjuring come up...I knew where she was going hahahah. Any longtime subscribers knew where you were putting these franchises, though I was surprised with The Ring!
What is it she doesn't like about Conjuring? It kicked off the last decade being the first in a new wave of not just good horror, but horror that was also genuinely good movies. Better directing, writing, characters, acting, cinematography etc. Really good stuff like It Follows, Get Out, Hereditary, Midsommar, Babadook, Oculus, Invisible Man and more.
I really like how you give unique names to your tiers, I often disagree with your opinions of movies and rankings but I always respect your opinion and I find your videos entertaining as hell!! Keep it up
I think my favorite franchise is probably The Conjuring. I find myself rewatching it the most. My favorite classic is definitely Friday, though. The Grudge is my no-no movie. I don’t know WHAT it is about it but it scares me more than anything. I can’t even look at my mom’s DVD case with the eyeball on it. I was also surprised you forgot Wrong Turn. 😂
3 is actually my personal favorite, although Parker Posey's character is beyond irritating. So many great one-liners. That doesn't take away the first one from being CLASSIC!
The Conjuring movies to me are a perfect balance of horror and suspense, and I could honestly keep going forever with them, even though they seem to get cheesy. The idea of a branching horror universe is cool.
I don't necessarily think you should've named the top tier "transformed the genre" as you seemed to just put what you liked there. Which is fine obviously but there are lots of stuff that easily deserves to be there from their influence. Like Halloween for instance quite literally created the modern stalker slasher genre as we know it, Friday is an admitted rip off of it. The Ring is another that should be in the top tier by technicality because it brought the era of a adapting Japanese Horror for many years, one of the more prolific ones to come out of that era is The Grudge. And of course Scream by your tier definition is easily top tier influence on the horror genre. Edit: Omg wow wow ok then, I reached that part of the video. I would highly recommend looking into the influence Jaws has had on the film industry as a whole, because based on "transforming the genre" goes, this movie transformed all of Hollywood. This is probably the most influential and important film ever made. Edit 2: Hellraiser is another one I think if you'd have seen all of the films you would reconsider where you put it. Even if you're one to like or even love the first film or even first few films, I think we could all agree it belongs in the just stop category as that franchise gets so damn atrocious that studios were literally reworking scripts that weren't even made to be Hellraiser movies just to put cenobites in them and dispose that shit out onto some direct to DVD schlock. Half of them couldn't even be bothered to be put on Blu Ray it's so bad. Edit 3: Although I can't really argue with your opinion on The Conjuring, I think in principle you should recognize this one for "transforming the genre" as well, for better or for worse. You may say for worse, but you must see that it has begun the obsession with demonic possession that has become the new era of horror.
I don’t think Friday the 13th is a rip off of Halloween. It rips off too many other movies to be solely a Halloween rip off. They are so much different as movies, that the only similarity is that there is a killer. Friday literally started the slasher boom. In 1981 there were a ton of slasher films which have more in common with F13 than Halloween.
ok listen up, don’t ever disrespect Freddy like that AGAIN. our friendship is hanging by a THREAD now. good news for Cloverfield fans, they’re working on another one rn to directly take place after events of the first film so it’ll probably feel more like franchise. girl, they sent Jason to SPACE and you let him slide into a classic and not Freddy??? no no, Jason needs to be in the just stop. and tbh Scream definitely made a splash for slasher flicks, it even inspired an entire franchise of parody films (Scary Movie) so i think it should’ve been in transformed the genre Paranormal needs to be in just stop. like they got worse and worse.
I like the first jeepers kreepers glade this new one isn’t made by Silva i just think the dude can’t write IAM not judging the movies based on what he did in the 80s I just don’t think since the first one he is any good as a writer and he had a few good movies before jeepers kreepers
@@the_aimeerowley4531 True, but the first one is legit maybe my favorite horror movie. I cant stop talking about it or recommending it because of the directors disgusting choices. Much like R Kelly and his music I can separate the man from the art
@@marielaoquendorodriguez670 YES! I just dont get why everyone was hating on it so much. Could it have been better? Sure but it was still a good movie. I mean the actors who play ed and Lorraine make them good regardless.
Conjuring 1&2 overall aren't just good horror, they're good movies. Much like Hereditary, Midsommar, It Follows, Alien, The Thing etc. A lot of the rest of these franchises are good horror but when it comes to directing, plot, characters, cinematography, much of it is pretty much non existent. Also it's interesting she think the Conjuring universe ''doesn't know when to end''. Like, last I checked TCM, Saw, Alien, Halloween, FT13, PA, FD .... aren't short either lol.
@@christyfielding7498 all together I think the first one is by far the scariest build up tension movie ever I would never watch in pitch black alone 😂 I left the video after that bad ranking by far best movie of 2010
I love Final Destination and think it transformed the genre with a unique take on the universe has a plan for you and it is death and I really enjoyed them lol. Also I loved the Amityville Horror lol
I’d say Alien should be considered for “Transformed the Genre” because Ellen Ripley was one of the first badass women in film and really paved the way for iconic female characters in movies 💕
Ok I agree with you on most of these!! Scream has to be my go to classic 👻🔪 out of all these movies. I love how it’s always a different killer each time yet there all connected in a way.
I know i'm late lol but i think scream transformed the genre. mainly because of the meta aspect of it, we didn't really see a lot of that before scream. also the who done it part was really cool, and the fact they had 2 killers!! i love scream lol
Great video Sarah, a few big franchises do come to mind though: Candyman, The Wishmaster, Creepshow, Phantasmagoria, Puppetmaster, and Tales from the Crypt.
Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream were the first franchises I ever loved! So your ranking of Nightmare kind of sucks, but I still love your videos and respect your opinion!
I personally would've put Halloween over Texas Chainsaw in the transformed the genre category and im a little hurt by where you put Nightmare but otherwise great list! Love these videos!
I know the Evil Dead had a "remake" sequel and also the tv series Ash vs Evil Dead which blends horror and comedy. My favorite thing about the remake though was Jane Levy got to portray the horror trope of being the first victim, killer/antagonist and the films final girl. That's just so iconic to me
Honestly tier lists never made a lot of sense to me either until you made you're own categories. So I really like how you do a tier list. I think it overall makes it a lot more fun also.
I agree with almost everything, but Nightmare On Elm Street is super scary. Also you’ve said you’d survive The Invisible Man, I really don’t think you would.
The original Hellraiser is my favourite horror film of all time, but the franchise overall had some absolute stinkers in it. I actually really liked the 2022 reboot, Jamie Clayton was terrifying.
The most notable horror franchises that you missed that I can think of are Phantasm, The Omen and The Exorcist. I would rank the first two in 'Classic' and the third in 'Transformed...'. My favorites are Scream and The Ring, though I would put The Ring in 'Just for Fun' until more time has passed. In retrospect, I'd have to say Jaws and Alien transformed the genre a lot more than Friday the 13th, but that's just me.
I always assumed I loved your videos because our opinions on horror movies were so similar but this video definitely changed that lol still loved the video tho! I was waiting for you to mention ginger snaps or wrong turn.
Extremely important question: would carrie be considered a franchise? Like there are 3 different versions plus a (bad) sequel and a musical, idk lol do remakes even count?
Yea but it's basically the same story in every movie except part 2 you could easily separate the original Carrie and it's sequel from the 2 remakes there's quite a few franchises this could apply to like the universal monsters franchise like dracula Frankenstein and the wolfman the mummy invisible man they all have their own films from the 30s and 40s but do we consider any of the later movies like the hammer horror ones or the 90s dracula and Frankenstein to be part of the original franchise?
love your rankings, i haven’t seen a lot of these just because my taste in horror movies are probably pretty bad compared to other people😂 however, the only one i would have moved would have been the conjuring franchise. i genuinely feel like they are classics. it’s really hard for me to get scared from horror movies and these movies actually scared the hell out of me which is why i like them. also 100% agree with you on the paranormal activity movies. it’s my favorite horror movie franchise so loved that haha
If you do a video on the Scream franchise, I would love to hear your thoughts on the TV show as well! I feel like people don't talk about it very much but I liked it!
You should take a look at John Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy. It actually starts with "The Thing" then, "Prince of Darkness" and "In the Mouth of Madness" which is AMAZING and has Sam Neil!
I think Alien was genre defining, in space ... no one can hear you scream. Parasitic creature eating your insides. Also a classic movie. A bit surprised you didn't include The Exorcism. The first one blew open the doors for demons and possession like nothing else. Good to hear your opinions. Thanks.
I absolutely love the Wrong Turn franchise!!! The newest one I’m not so sure, but the original 6 were all entertaining, I would have put it in the just for fun category
wrong turn is horror with incredible idiotic people, from the cannibals, to everyone involved, including director, cameramen, is the worst franchise, at least centipede tries to say something. But where Rob zombie , devil rejects, house of the thousands corpses.
@@turnermarius4471 the House of 1,000 Corpses “franchise” definitely should be on there!!! I absolutely agree! And I love the Wrong Turn franchise because ITS SO BAD 😂😂😂
Freddy is a classic horror icon, probably more than Leatherface or Jason even Michael...people’s parents even grandparents know about Freddy. He’s just the icon of horror itself by himself
fascinating to see how the comments show tons of different opinions! Just goes to show that fear is subjective and what you consider a classic or transformative to someone else could be overhyped or dull. I consider the OG Grudge movie to be a classic for me so it kinda stung to see her put it in overhyped lol
@@gemstar7286 yes first Ring 2002 is unmatched compared to the sequels but honestly they could’ve tried harder on the sequels. They looked lazy. Sadly once a movie gets successful the rest of the franchise may suffer from money hungry ppl while pushing creative ppl out
You can say fear is subjective when it comes to movies sure becomes they’re just fictional. But one thing we all have in common (unless you’re a psycho lol) No one wants to be killed. So if a villian (from a movie you don’t consider a scary movie) was real, you’d still be scared as they’re after your life. Doesn’t matter who the villian would be. So subjective fear sometimes is limited to fictional things/characters.
The Conjuring universe is the most successful horror franchise ever (money wise)…should not be included in the bottom category. No reason for The Thing to be part of forever a classic and not that!
@@rileyoffline if you think that conjuring 1 and 2 were not good then you have no taste in horror, or you just dont believe demons exist,plus james wan directed saw and insidious and conjuring 1 and 2 so if conjuring is bad the you must think saw and insidious are bad which they arent
side note sara, when you're sizing your thumbnails you can hold control and it will keep the thumbnail a perfect square, just to make fitting them easier
I'm so glad your opinion on Friday the 13th falls in line with mine because it's something I've thought for a while but have been too scared to say something lol. Great concept, but just doesn't stick in your head like Texas Chain Massacre or Blair Witch Project.
I just found this channel and I love your content! Love to see another horror fan 😍 My favorites are Final Destination and Alien. Happy to see you liked them too!
I do like your list. I would put Halloween as a transform. Not only did it truly bring in the slasher craze and even slashers to this day have Halloween to thank. It even created the rules that "Scream" discussed, which also should be in transform the genre.
I would enjoy a Stephen King movie tier list.
King’s film adaptations were pretty
awful, unless they starred Kathy Bates.

@@King_Meatier and Star Wars was originally a Dune rip off, I don’t know how that’s relevant. Also the slasher genre was because of how Friday the 13th defined it, and Halloween was secondary.
Halloween definitely transformed the genre if it wasn’t for Michael Myers there would be no Jason or Freddy or just anyone after that John Carpenter made the first movie with barley any money it became one of the best horror movies ever and we have so many sequels afterwards that were still good & Scream deserves to be in Transformed the Genre too Scream brought back a dying genre in horror the slasher movies Scream was the 90’s to me I love all 4 of those movies I’m sure the 5th movie will be something special too
i 100% agree with that without michael myers there would not of been jason freddy or even ghostface for that matter
Kinda late reply but I would also say Laurie Strode from Halloween definitely made the trope the “final girl” as well, like she was TEE OG final girl and it continued to evolve overtime bc of her legacy. Halloween definitely transformed the genre in multiple ways!
@@rainischalk-late3540 I understand the passion, but with that logic, there would not be any halloween without a Texas Chainsaw Massacre which also include the real OG final girl in Sally Hardesty.
@@FallenLegend2600 Fyi, Freddy Krueger was not an inspiration of the halloween franchise, but from a newspaper article about night terrors.
the more you say "franchise", the less it starts to sound like an actual word
French Fries xD
@@dystopicat I hate you.
@@deargodwhy9718 Why?
don't worry, that just happens with every word
@@brucebarkerkodiak because now whenever I hear the word franchise I keep hearing french fries.
I think alien transformed the genre since it really kicked off more women being better protagonists
I think if they had stopped with Resurrection or even Alien 3 then I think this could probably be the best franchise ever - but Resurrection is....a fun popcorn movie at best and the prequels since....I dunno, the first one had some highlights but Covenant was a mess. But yes, the first two Alien movies I'd say are two of the top ten horror movies ever made.
@@chriscze6153 Yeah they really should have stopped making alien movies after 2
That's very reductive.
@@gakutoigawa8177 I was going to go into more detail but what I meant is how it really kicked off having female characters no longer just have to be the ones being the victims in movies being chased and hunted down but instead actually fighting back and not have to be saved by men since they are capable of saving themselves. I feel like alien was the movie that really started that for future horror movies or even just movies in general
When I look at Ripley, I don't see a woman but only à great and BELIEVABLE character, which is very rare. In "Aliens" she's not the most clever nor the strongest but she gains respect and trust from the others by earning it. She's unlike all female characters that followed, and I wanted to emphasis that point, because "strong" female characters might have gone up in numbers after that but surely not in quality, especialy nowdays.
Finaly I don't think Alien transformed the genre, but had a huge impact, for me at least, it left quite an impression on a 7 years old boy XD. I couldn't get enough that " I" bought the game " alien 3" on sega genesis back in 1992.
( I hope, I'm expressing well enough for you to understand, as you might notice english isn't my first lenguage)
For me, I think Jaws would be either forever a classic or transformed the genre. It helped create a widespread fear of the ocean and sharks
yes!!
For that fact alone that people are afraid of sharks because this movie exists, it 100% should be considered transformed the genre.
For sure
Jaws absolutely is forever a classic. The movie literally transformed the whole movie industry.
I think It’d be transformed the genre, because it practically invented the concept of a summer blockbuster. Also, In my opinion, it really revolutionized how people build suspense in films. Great movie
You missed, George Romero’s, “Living Dead” franchise. That's easily one of the most consequential franchises ever.
Yes thank you!
I was going to say this too! It totally transformed a genre too, though I guess it more like made a genre.
@@FileUnderPunk very true without Night of the living dead who knows shows like walking dead would probs not exist.
This was a *major* absence on this list for sure. It was my first thought when she said It was last.
Agree with her correction about "the ring". It clearly transformed the genre. It opened western audiences to Asian horror and it influenced Asian horror in general.
I respectfully disagree with two: Scream most definitely transformed the genre. And I love the Conjuring movies and hope they make more lol
Same to both! I’ll watch conjuring movies no matter how bad they get lol
I’m glad other people feel this way! I love both so much!! And I hope they make another 4 conjuring movies 🍿🎥 Also just saw the new Scream movie and loved it!!!
I agree. The Conjuring franchise is the best horror movie series I have literally ever seen
they are they made scream 5 in 2022 if you havent benn under a rock and scream six is returning
Conjuring depends of taste
The Wrong Turn series belongs on here under JUST STOP category.
They are better than Friday the 13th!
Along with Cabin Fever.
It’s a shame, because I really enjoyed the first two, but after seeing 3 I never bothered with 4-6. The series definitely can be done well, but the writing and budget needs to be at least decent, which it rarely is.
@Spike I do like the snowy setting, I just never bothered since I didn’t like 3, and mostly heard that 4 was about equal. I might check it out at some point if it’s free though.
Yessss!!!! When she said "just stop" "Wrong Turn" flashed through my mind.
YES final destination! It may not have transformed the genre, but it definitely transformed how freaking scared we get behind a log truck lol
it takes us think the “impossible” is always possible
you're so real
Nightmare can't be overhyped given that, unlike other slasher franchises, it introduced a hilarious villain. Non-talking villains is boring, it's not about "more atmosphere". If it comes to that, then Friday and Halloween are also overhyped, respectively, all the franchises I mentioned (and possibly something else) could be put into a separate category of overhyped classics.
I definitely think Scream transformed the genre because it really kicked off the "hero is actually the killer" and "the killer is calling from inside the house" tropes that we see all the time. these tropes have been done before Scream obviously but I feel that Scream made it become trending in a way
the "the killer is calling from inside the house" is actually from black Christmas, so that wouldn't count, but it definitely kicked off the "horror movie is actually making fun of itself and making fun of the entire horror genre while also contributing to it" genre that is so widely popular now and started to take off after Scream.
omg sarahhh how did you not put scream in transformed the genre 😭
She doesn't know wtf she is talking about.
RIGHT WTF scream influenced the genre as a whole and remains iconic till this day
@@mariahslittlelamb8049 hey! i think you missed it so i’ll put a time stamp here for you! 1:09 anyways she clearly stated that these are all HER opinion:)
Exactly
@@acevin8212 I know and she should acquire BETTER opinions.
I disagree with a few but I love these kinds of videos. I'm always interested in other's tastes and opinions. Final Destination may not be iconic or transformative but it has definitely left lasting effects on people when it comes to road travel lol.
Maybe it says more about me than the movies but I think about potential Final Destination scenarios every single day. 💀
Same, but some of these still leave a sour taste in my mouth because what I love about rankings is hearing WHY you put that thing in that tier, and Sarah a lot of times justifies it just becase "I like it", "one of my favourites", "not for me", etc. I get it, it's your ranking and your opinions, but there's more than that to be talked about. Not everything is fully objective, but neither is fully subjective.
Final Destination made people afraid of everything. Roads, tanning beds, swimming pools, eye surgery, hell even balance beams.
She contradicts and confuse herself when it comes to talking about her favourite horror genres. She literally prefer overrated horror films overall, she put overyped horror films into 'Transformed the genre' and put underrated horror film into the 'overhyped' category. She found Hellraiser to be too 'sick and demented' but is it not that the point of horror ? If you are a real horror fan you have a passion for the sick and demented, this just proves you that she is a hypocrite and a lightweight when it comes to horror. Yet she has Saw and Texas Chainsaw massacre, horror films which shocked audiences in terms of graphical violence as horror films among her favourites.
@@paulkowal9545 really? You seem to be the one who is contradicting themself. No offense of course. But it’s kinda mean to think you get to decide what it takes to be a”true horror fan”. Everyone has diff views on that. At the end of the day if you simply like watching your fav horror films, whatever they may be, you are a fan. There are no rules. Saying she puts “overhyped movies” at a certain tier again is another contradiction because you are putting your opinion above someone else’s. Your idea of overhyped is diff to someone else. She’s constantly saying ppl can disagree with whatever they want to she If ppl still choose to take offense to her tiers, that’s their problem. It’s all love here. I respectfully disagree with her Scream tier because it definitely changed/influenced the genre.
Respectfully, Paranormal Activity should have been left in transformed the genre. I also think Scream should have sat in there too. Great ranking though - the chaotic ones are the ones I enjoy the most
Paranormal activity didn’t really transform the genre not like Blair witch project did that got a lot of people thinking it was real including me
I agree that Scream belongs in transforms the genre.
@@jimbowlan5804 really? I feel like if wasn't for PA we wouldn't have gotten Chernoybl Diaries, As Above So Below, the Pyramid, etc. Those found footage very low budget that was all over the place from 09-17
You can make that argument. To me I’d say it revitalized the genre. Found footage style movies had been kinda bad for quite some time and paranormal activity gave that genre a shot of adrenaline in my unqualified opinion. Love the paranormal activity movies so I’m not here to diss the franchise AT ALL.
Paranormal activity needs to be in just stop coz neither it transferred the genre neither its sequals were holding the name. And the last one was total crap
Halloween and Scream both definitely transformed the genre more than Texas Chainsaw Massacre but maybe it's just because you love that franchise more.
Agreed. yea transforming the genre should not be about enjoyment of the films. I have no particular love for Romero zombie films but I totally appreciate the impact they had
Paranormal Activity belongs in Overhyped or Just Stop. After the first one, the quality got weirder with each entry. It went from eerie creek in the floor bed found footage atmosphere to a rip off of Chronicle where a dude had super powers to walking through portals and catching demons with blankets.
I think I would put Jaws in transformed the genre, just because it totally kickstarted generations of shark movies.
Yes!
I would argue that The Ring did actually transform the genre. Even though it's a remake(I think it improves on the original), its success spawned the entire supernatural horror trend of the 2000s.
That and started the wave of j-horror remakes..we wouldn't have the grudge without the success of the ring
I would give that credit to 2000s asian horror in general, that was a really defining period for the horror genre
The remake of shutter sucks though
Yes AMEN. I don’t remember any long haired ghost girl until the ring came out. And that TV scene was controversial back then
@@rmusic08 exactly! No wonder I love the Ring and it’s impact
How can you put Freddy in overhyped? I will admit, many of the Freddy movies are bad after part 3 but the first three are all time classics
They're so good :)
Agreed!
New Nightmare is also great and underrated!
@@Mirandacloud yea, that’s a good one
She legit just doesn't know wtf she's talking about.
One of the things I like most about your tier rankings videos is that you make your own categories. It’s not just “best/strongest- worst/weakest”, instead you give another perspective on it and I find it interesting
Scream was a cultural reset. It is hands down the best horror movie franchise. It was original, classy, and timeless! We need a ranking!
I would argue that Evil Dead has to be in "forever a classic" because out of all these horror movies on the list, how many resulted in their own tv series? Additionally, how many have spawned successful videogames and comics? Obviously you're right about fans liking it "just for fun" but it has nearly 40 years of a dedicated cult following. I don't think that being campy should somehow disqualify it from being "forever a classic."
It kickstarted the super hero film industry with sam raimi going on to direct spider man. It was a huge influence to many many many other franchises. She clearly is a bit biased so I let it slide but army of darkness alone is better than half of these horror “franchises”
Cabin Fever, Cabin the Woods, Evil Ed, Dead Alive (Braindead), pretty much the entire splastick genre, Quentin Tarantino movies (Kill Bill, Django Unchained, From Dusk Till Dawn), Drag Me To Hell, Don't Beathe, Deathgasm, and the list goes on. So many films owe the Evil Dead franchise a debt of gratitude for it's influence on the film industry inside and outside the horror genre. She's trippin. It's a definite classic and very seminal.
Edit: If any of you want to see a movie that is very similar to Evil Dead from a stylistic and atmospheric respect check out the Japanese film "Evil Dead Trap". It's its own unique story (and very well done), but it does play off of overtly obvious elements of the original.
@@angelarballo4478 Agree 100% . You nailed it perfectly
@@angelarballo4478 Just curious, how do you mean Kill Bill and Don't breathe owe The Evil Dead?
A frqanchise doesn't have to result in a serie to be succesfull. Evil Dead I and II are classics. Remake is fun.
Can we get a most disturbing movies which are PG-13
Agreed 🔥
9 is definitely up there.
Does Dora the explorer count? She scares me
Caroline needa be at the top for sure
The lovely bones need to be in that tier list that film is super disturbing for a non rated r movie
Never apologise for your opinion - Everyone is absolutely entitled to have their own views. For the most part I agree with your picks, but I would change some. IMO - Scream transformed the genre, Jaws will forever be a classic, Texas Chainsaw too. And The Conjuring is under hyped! I know that's not on your tier list, but I really think the first two films are up there amongst the best horror films ever made! And I think for the most part, the rest of the franchise delivers some really good movies.
I love the purge movies. They are so suspenseful and action filled.
They get so bad each one though. 😅 I like the first one, maybe two. Then I just kind of hate them.
@@izzyjoshuadavis realy? I found the first one pretty boring compared to 2 and 3. But after that it really sucked.
@@j4rnusky i think the movies work best with less. The bigger it gets the more action oriented it gets and less scary it is to me.
@@j4rnusky Yeah for me after the first movie the others got better . I haven't watched the latest purge movie yet though.
Love your channel, you seem like a big horror fan, but this ranking is wild lol
I legit laughed when she placed NOES and Chucky so low.
Currently crying over the nightmare ranking 😭 FOREVER A CLASSIC!
Omg! I hear yeah! Freddy! The first movie is the scariest movie ever. Johnny Depp’s first movie ffs 😆 I hope you watch the franchise with new eyeballs.
As soon as you named the category, I knew the Conjuring was going in "Please Stop," but they're my comfort movies! I can't get enough
Franchises you missed:
- Hostel
- The collector
- Human Centipede
- Wrong turn
- Species
Imo:
Hostel- Forever a Classic
The Collector- Just STOP!
Human Centipede-Just STOP!
Wrong Turn- Overhyped
Species-Just for Fun
[Rec°] - Underrated Ge.
Leprechaun and Pyscho
@@brantcloyd5485 IMO I’d say overhyped for Hostel, and The Collector in Just for Fun. Wrong Turn is simultaneously a Just Stop and a “Please make more with good writing and a decent budget” for me.
Most importantly phantasm
Scream and Halloween literaly changed the whole genre. Scream basically singlehandedly revived it
Yeaaaaah you did nightmare dirty! That is just as much of a classic as Jason and Michael!
I love the concept of the purge so much I will keep holding out hope they'll eventually do this idea justice. I feel like a talented writer could make some sharp criticisms with this dystopian world, if they would just devote some real effort and care.
they HAVE done it justice! it's a very political franchise and honestly the only one that isn't really good is the first one because its just a home invasion movie. The First Purge is probably the best out of all the films in the series, laying out the groundwork for the franchise and the in-universe political agenda of the purge. there are very blatant themes of racism and classism that criticize the real US government in a sometimes bold sometimes subtle way. there's also the TV show, which is incredible and shows the effects of the purge after, before and during the so called holiday. The Purge has already been fone justice
When I saw the Conjuring come up...I knew where she was going hahahah. Any longtime subscribers knew where you were putting these franchises, though I was surprised with The Ring!
What is it she doesn't like about Conjuring? It kicked off the last decade being the first in a new wave of not just good horror, but horror that was also genuinely good movies. Better directing, writing, characters, acting, cinematography etc. Really good stuff like It Follows, Get Out, Hereditary, Midsommar, Babadook, Oculus, Invisible Man and more.
When you were talking about the Conjuring franchise and looked straight into the camera - I definitely felt attacked 🥲
SAME!
*watches them again*
Same 😢😢
Lol
The conjuring movies need some justice 😭
Never unliked a video soo fast even though I love her videos lol
The fact that there are often so many movies in the franchises really puts me off. It's just such a commitment.
Same. The longer it goes on, the more bored i get.
I really like how you give unique names to your tiers, I often disagree with your opinions of movies and rankings but I always respect your opinion and I find your videos entertaining as hell!! Keep it up
I think my favorite franchise is probably The Conjuring. I find myself rewatching it the most. My favorite classic is definitely Friday, though.
The Grudge is my no-no movie. I don’t know WHAT it is about it but it scares me more than anything. I can’t even look at my mom’s DVD case with the eyeball on it.
I was also surprised you forgot Wrong Turn. 😂
Same here about the Grudge! It’s so frightening for me I just can’t . And I LOVE the conjuring
@@sontianadavis1001 I hate that grudge noise
The way I gasped when you put Nightmare in Overhyped! 😱
My favorite one is Scream! Their all great, Scream is my favorite horror movie! All the movies are good, even 3 but it’s not as good
3 is actually my personal favorite, although Parker Posey's character is beyond irritating. So many great one-liners. That doesn't take away the first one from being CLASSIC!
@@garethallen4191 Poser's character is great.
The Conjuring movies to me are a perfect balance of horror and suspense, and I could honestly keep going forever with them, even though they seem to get cheesy. The idea of a branching horror universe is cool.
I don't necessarily think you should've named the top tier "transformed the genre" as you seemed to just put what you liked there. Which is fine obviously but there are lots of stuff that easily deserves to be there from their influence. Like Halloween for instance quite literally created the modern stalker slasher genre as we know it, Friday is an admitted rip off of it. The Ring is another that should be in the top tier by technicality because it brought the era of a adapting Japanese Horror for many years, one of the more prolific ones to come out of that era is The Grudge. And of course Scream by your tier definition is easily top tier influence on the horror genre.
Edit: Omg wow wow ok then, I reached that part of the video. I would highly recommend looking into the influence Jaws has had on the film industry as a whole, because based on "transforming the genre" goes, this movie transformed all of Hollywood. This is probably the most influential and important film ever made.
Edit 2: Hellraiser is another one I think if you'd have seen all of the films you would reconsider where you put it. Even if you're one to like or even love the first film or even first few films, I think we could all agree it belongs in the just stop category as that franchise gets so damn atrocious that studios were literally reworking scripts that weren't even made to be Hellraiser movies just to put cenobites in them and dispose that shit out onto some direct to DVD schlock. Half of them couldn't even be bothered to be put on Blu Ray it's so bad.
Edit 3: Although I can't really argue with your opinion on The Conjuring, I think in principle you should recognize this one for "transforming the genre" as well, for better or for worse. You may say for worse, but you must see that it has begun the obsession with demonic possession that has become the new era of horror.
Which is ironic because the term slasher came from Friday the 13th critics' coined the term 😂😂😂
I don’t think Friday the 13th is a rip off of Halloween. It rips off too many other movies to be solely a Halloween rip off. They are so much different as movies, that the only similarity is that there is a killer. Friday literally started the slasher boom. In 1981 there were a ton of slasher films which have more in common with F13 than Halloween.
ok listen up, don’t ever disrespect Freddy like that AGAIN. our friendship is hanging by a THREAD now.
good news for Cloverfield fans, they’re working on another one rn to directly take place after events of the first film so it’ll probably feel more like franchise.
girl, they sent Jason to SPACE and you let him slide into a classic and not Freddy??? no no, Jason needs to be in the just stop.
and tbh Scream definitely made a splash for slasher flicks, it even inspired an entire franchise of parody films (Scary Movie) so i think it should’ve been in transformed the genre
Paranormal needs to be in just stop. like they got worse and worse.
Agreed, but, everyone has their opinions I guess. Jason is my favourite tbh.
Yeah don’t disrespect my boy freddy like that 🥺
But Friday the 13th is good imo
Jason is my favorite one from classic 3 tho..
@@OK-69420 facts I love Friday the 13th franchise
Jeepers Creepers. One of my favorite movies, but as a franchise, I'd put it in just for fun. Same with I Know What You Did Last Summer.
I like the first jeepers kreepers glade this new one isn’t made by Silva i just think the dude can’t write IAM not judging the movies based on what he did in the 80s I just don’t think since the first one he is any good as a writer and he had a few good movies before jeepers kreepers

@@marielaoquendorodriguez670 YES! I just dont get why everyone was hating on it so much. Could it have been better? Sure but it was still a good movie. I mean the actors who play ed and Lorraine make them good regardless.
Conjuring 1&2 overall aren't just good horror, they're good movies. Much like Hereditary, Midsommar, It Follows, Alien, The Thing etc. A lot of the rest of these franchises are good horror but when it comes to directing, plot, characters, cinematography, much of it is pretty much non existent.
Also it's interesting she think the Conjuring universe ''doesn't know when to end''. Like, last I checked TCM, Saw, Alien, Halloween, FT13, PA, FD .... aren't short either lol.
@@christyfielding7498 all together I think the first one is by far the scariest build up tension movie ever I would never watch in pitch black alone 😂 I left the video after that bad ranking by far best movie of 2010
the second one is not that good though
I love Final Destination and think it transformed the genre with a unique take on the universe has a plan for you and it is death and I really enjoyed them lol. Also I loved the Amityville Horror lol
I’d say Alien should be considered for “Transformed the Genre” because Ellen Ripley was one of the first badass women in film and really paved the way for iconic female characters in movies 💕
Oof that Nightmare on Elm Street one hurt a bit. Definitely my favorite franchise of all time but at the same time for me The Ring is overhyped 💀

i'd say halloween is overhyped too. now i love the original and season of the witch, but there's not enough other great ones.

Great video Sarah, a few big franchises do come to mind though: Candyman, The Wishmaster, Creepshow, Phantasmagoria, Puppetmaster, and Tales from the Crypt.
Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream were the first franchises I ever loved! So your ranking of Nightmare kind of sucks, but I still love your videos and respect your opinion!
I personally would've put Halloween over Texas Chainsaw in the transformed the genre category and im a little hurt by where you put Nightmare but otherwise great list! Love these videos!
Final destination 3 with the roller coaster is one of my all time favourite horror movies ever. It’s amazing
A tier where The Exorcist not being in it should be an insult to all lovers of the horror genre
I know the Evil Dead had a "remake" sequel and also the tv series Ash vs Evil Dead which blends horror and comedy. My favorite thing about the remake though was Jane Levy got to portray the horror trope of being the first victim, killer/antagonist and the films final girl. That's just so iconic to me
Only thing I disagree with here is Nightmare. Those movies were amazing.
We just don't talk about Dream Child lmao
@@Hydr0p u mean Freddys dead dream child’s better than that
just the first 4 movie for me personally cause it gets awful by dream child, freddys dead, new nightmare, the reboot yeah it’s just a no

Honestly tier lists never made a lot of sense to me either until you made you're own categories. So I really like how you do a tier list. I think it overall makes it a lot more fun also.
I agree with almost everything, but Nightmare On Elm Street is super scary. Also you’ve said you’d survive The Invisible Man, I really don’t think you would.
The original Hellraiser is my favourite horror film of all time, but the franchise overall had some absolute stinkers in it. I actually really liked the 2022 reboot, Jamie Clayton was terrifying.
I like the tier lists. They make sense to me.
Tier lists are so fun!! I’m so ready. I’m also so early? Wow
Me too, early for once!!
The most notable horror franchises that you missed that I can think of are Phantasm, The Omen and The Exorcist. I would rank the first two in 'Classic' and the third in 'Transformed...'. My favorites are Scream and The Ring, though I would put The Ring in 'Just for Fun' until more time has passed. In retrospect, I'd have to say Jaws and Alien transformed the genre a lot more than Friday the 13th, but that's just me.
I really love that you make your own categories for your tier lists. Thats really creative. I agree with most of this tier
I always assumed I loved your videos because our opinions on horror movies were so similar but this video definitely changed that lol still loved the video tho! I was waiting for you to mention ginger snaps or wrong turn.
RANK THE SCREAM FILMS FOR SURE!
Extremely important question: would carrie be considered a franchise? Like there are 3 different versions plus a (bad) sequel and a musical, idk lol do remakes even count?
there's carrie the original, the rage: carrie, the tv remake Carrie, and the theatrical remake so basically, a franchise
Yea but it's basically the same story in every movie except part 2 you could easily separate the original Carrie and it's sequel from the 2 remakes there's quite a few franchises this could apply to like the universal monsters franchise like dracula Frankenstein and the wolfman the mummy invisible man they all have their own films from the 30s and 40s but do we consider any of the later movies like the hammer horror ones or the 90s dracula and Frankenstein to be part of the original franchise?
THERE'S A MUSICAL?!

Jaws really put the fear of going into the ocean into many viewers…not so much for the horror genre but influenced many fears of the water

If you do a video on the Scream franchise, I would love to hear your thoughts on the TV show as well! I feel like people don't talk about it very much but I liked it!

I absolutely love the Wrong Turn franchise!!! The newest one I’m not so sure, but the original 6 were all entertaining, I would have put it in the just for fun category
Its not politics or religion. Come on guy's lighten up, chill😭😂😭
wrong turn is horror with incredible idiotic people, from the cannibals, to everyone involved, including director, cameramen, is the worst franchise, at least centipede tries to say something.
But where Rob zombie , devil rejects, house of the thousands corpses.
@@turnermarius4471 the House of 1,000 Corpses “franchise” definitely should be on there!!! I absolutely agree! And I love the Wrong Turn franchise because ITS SO BAD 😂😂😂
@@melissag8270 i love first 4 movies, but the fifth and sixth ones are trash, the incest in the sixth movie ? gross, unnecessary and disgustang
I LOVE YOUR UZUMAKI BOOK IN THE BACKGROUND!
I'm a huge horror fan and just discovered this channel. Thanks for the great content!!
yeees we need a Scream ranking! and then the eventual Scream 5 review!!😍
You haven't seen every single horror franchise that exists? The audacity!!
Freddy is a classic horror icon, probably more than Leatherface or Jason even Michael...people’s parents even grandparents know about Freddy. He’s just the icon of horror itself by himself
Everyone knows Freddy chucky Jason and Michael Myers and leather face are classics
@@raelindzey4272 yeah to gen z or millennials maybe
fascinating to see how the comments show tons of different opinions! Just goes to show that fear is subjective and what you consider a classic or transformative to someone else could be overhyped or dull. I consider the OG Grudge movie to be a classic for me so it kinda stung to see her put it in overhyped lol
I will always class The ring movies as a classic , but i haven't watched the latest . The first movie is the strongest .
@@gemstar7286 yes first Ring 2002 is unmatched compared to the sequels but honestly they could’ve tried harder on the sequels. They looked lazy. Sadly once a movie gets successful the rest of the franchise may suffer from money hungry ppl while pushing creative ppl out
You can say fear is subjective when it comes to movies sure becomes they’re just fictional. But one thing we all have in common (unless you’re a psycho lol) No one wants to be killed. So if a villian (from a movie you don’t consider a scary movie) was real, you’d still be scared as they’re after your life. Doesn’t matter who the villian would be. So subjective fear sometimes is limited to fictional things/characters.
Transformed: The Ring, Paranormal Activity
Classic: Friday, Elm Street, Halloween, Jaws, Alien, Scream, Blair Witch
Just for fun: Childs Play, Evil Dead, Final Destination, Saw, The Thing, Insidious, IT
Forgettable: Cloverfield, Hills Have Eyes, Cube
Overrated: Hellraiser, Texas Chainsaw, Grudge, VHS
Just stop: Purge, Amityville, Conjuring
The Conjuring universe is the most successful horror franchise ever (money wise)…should not be included in the bottom category. No reason for The Thing to be part of forever a classic and not that!
doesn’t matter if it’s successful, it’s not good lol
@@rileyoffline if you think that conjuring 1 and 2 were not good then you have no taste in horror, or you just dont believe demons exist,plus james wan directed saw and insidious and conjuring 1 and 2 so if conjuring is bad the you must think saw and insidious are bad which they arent
@@carnage1284 what are you even talking about?
@@carnage1284 Your logic is truly ridiculous.
side note sara, when you're sizing your thumbnails you can hold control and it will keep the thumbnail a perfect square, just to make fitting them easier
I'm so glad your opinion on Friday the 13th falls in line with mine because it's something I've thought for a while but have been too scared to say something lol. Great concept, but just doesn't stick in your head like Texas Chain Massacre or Blair Witch Project.
I just found this channel and I love your content! Love to see another horror fan 😍
My favorites are Final Destination and Alien. Happy to see you liked them too!
I do like your list. I would put Halloween as a transform. Not only did it truly bring in the slasher craze and even slashers to this day have Halloween to thank. It even created the rules that "Scream" discussed, which also should be in transform the genre.
