I've always enjoyed a good scare, so Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Since 2004, though, the highlight of the season has been going to see the next Saw movie. Being able to look forward to a new installment every year is a nice break from the two-to-three-year waits that accompany most of my favorite franchises. This goes double for my horror favorites, as most of them are lucky to see a movie every five or six years. Hard to believe it's been five years since Freddy vs. Jason. Now I have to deal with the fact that they're rebooting both franchises. That really sucks, because I like to see the progression of the story as the mythology builds up behind it (I'm the kind of person who can find depth and emotion in even the most shallow piece of cinematic trash). Seriously, all my favorites are starting over. First Texas Chainsaw Massacre back in '03, then Halloween in '07 (the single most disappointing film I've ever seen; even moreso than Matrix Revolutions), and now both Friday the 13th and Hellraiser are starting over next year, with A Nightmare on Elm Street and Child's Play in the planning stages.
