Re: Most "Fun" Horror Film Franchise?
While Scream has the meta factor going for it, I have a soft spot for the Final Destination flicks. They just make for fun movies.
I've never had a thing for slasher flicks so most of the options just don't appeal to me. I can't believe anyone would think torture porn is "fun" either. Entertaining? Sure, but fun? I don't see it.
I know Evil Dead is revered but as mentioned above, the first is uber serious and the third is total campiness. Never saw the second. Maybe that's the missing piece I need to appreciate those films.
I'll also toss out Candyman since no one has mentioned it yet.

I went with Scream, but perhaps should have voted Final Destination.

As far as fun horror franchise goes, I almost chose Puppet Master, but thought about it and instead chose 'Other' with Phantasm being my personal favorite fun horror franchise even if the ending of Oblivion didn't give me the closure that it should have. We need one more to wrap it up...

I'd probably bat for the Alien franchise, which not counting the AVP stuff has at least had very interesting directors attached to each installment, or maybe Romero, who has nice B-movie flair and a great sense of intelligence to go with it. The Scream movies are pretty smart and fun too, for the most part, and Craven has been involved with all of them.
I wish there was a market to properly finish the post production on Dominion and rerelease it on DVD.
For sheer fun, Evil Dead must take the cake, Raimi has a flair that few do and the movies are a blast.

I heard a long time ago that the ending of Scream 2 was leaked and they had to rewritten the ending like two months before the movie release date, I've been too lazy to see how it was originally supposed to end but I think I might Google it now.

I'd like to reach through my monitor, go back in time and stab the original "Scream" movie right in the eye.
Nowhere NEAR as clever or original as it thought it was, so utterly in love with itself, and spawned a host of lame PG-13 high school/teen-based horror flicks for years afterward.
