I don't think I would say Scream should have gone anthology after the original, but I think the series absolutely lends itself to a more anthology form. At this point staying too close to the same characters is holding it back.

[@NuMetalfan1996]

I disagree, I think what’s holding Scream back is the gimmick meta stuff.

[@chuckjammy9251]

@@NuMetalfan1996that’s pretty much the whole point of the franchise. It was doing Shrek & Deadpool before they did it

[@NuMetalfan1996]

@@chuckjammy9251 I care more about the story. The story was Sidney being haunted by her Mothers past. I don’t like gimmicks, I prefer the story. Scream had a great story to tell. The gimmick is now over played to death now. Why continue a gimmick that’s now been done to death?. Give me a good story.

[@chuckjammy9251]

@@NuMetalfan1996 sounds like you want a good story. 2nd had a really good one imo & so did the 4th, 5 & 6 were solid & 3 was intriguing, there’s only so much you can do story wise with a slasher. I’d argue other slasher franchises are as if not more creatively bankrupt But yes the story would be much better if at this point(really should’ve been since after 4) they stopped focusing on Sydney & those surrounding characters, which goes back to Sean’s point that yes that is the biggest problem the franchise has is focusing on them. The story isn’t mediocre because of the meta, if anything that enhances the mediocre parts at time. Meta has always been apart of Scream’s identity which differentiates it from other horror franchises & gave it a uniqueness, they’re also one of the first satire franchises & an early piece of mainstream satire. The problem with the stories is the focus, not the gimmick

[@Xehanort10]

I love Freddy vs Jason. It’s a horror comedy and did a great job weaving the two franchises together lore-wise. The movie didn’t feel like they made one character a clear “good guy”, but still made Jason understandably more sympathetic. I love the scenes with Jason on fire through the corn field, Freddy getting dragged and thrown by Jason in the real world, and Robert Englund’s last full-movie performance as Freddy.

My hot take is probably in regards to Sinister. I think it’s one of the most under appreciated horror films of all time. The plot, the acting, the sound, Bughuul & the characters link to folklore which is unique and isn’t done enough in horror films imo, we need more pagan gods.

[@jeramysanchez4718]

[@zstevens7]

The writing is awful, and the people are all stupid. But man, that’s one of only a few movies ever that made me truly unnerved. Good stuff.

Absolutely agreed. I saw Sinister in the theater with my friend at like 3pm and came out of the theater scared shitless. Those tapes are a thing of genius.

[@VGr4pvssies]

Yeah dude, people regard Sinister as one of the best horror movies of the 21st Century.

[@DesiSJ]

For me, my biggest issue for FvJ was how they treated Jason. The make up was terrible. The lazy eye choice made him look sleepy. Then they added in his fear of water...which he does not and never has had. Sometimes I think the reason Kane Hodder was replaced was because they knew he was never gonna let that fly. He took Jason pretty serious and that water choice went against the narrative we've had for 10 movies. Haven't finished the video but didn't wanna lose that thought haha

[@thefilmeffect6089]

I thought Freddy looked like a joke too. It’s so far from the original film.

[@andrewjones5910]

Ted White was the best Jason

[@DrummingKid78]

I disagree, I think that added more character to Jason than any of the Friday the 13th films gave him. And it made it that much more fulfilling when he kicks the shit out of Freddyin the real world.

[@husker4life109]

Jasons eye has always looks disfigured

[@user-fk6wl9mq1f]

I see both sides to the water argument. I took the water fear as a personal fighting inward of himself. Since it was a dream sequence, I felt it was an insight as to Jason fearing the water because he couldn’t swim or control how he handles it. Also it gives a possibility of what he maybe dealt with in his mind. If Jason has a focus then he is good in the real world. But since he was dreaming it was a situation where he wasn’t in control

[@biggsg1934]

Ends is my favorite of the flawed Halloween 2018 trilogy, but I completely agree that it was not a good fit for that trilogy. Honestly, I would have preferred had they had Ends focus on Michael, and then come back to the franchise several years later with Corey's story, where he finds the mask and snaps.

JAWS IS 100 percent a horror movie! The book is even more intense and the whole reason it was created.

On the plus side they killed off Tina.

[@JQUE94]

I agree, also I think they could have got creative and found a way to connect H20 to that H1,H2 and H4 timeline

[@valeriebreidenstein8362]

​​@@JQUE94 H20 was originally even supposed to be a sequel to H6 Pcut and therefore part of the OG timeline. H20 without H4-H6 Pcut makes no sense in so many parts. Like why let Loomis survive the explosion only to be dead either way. Why have the same "death" for Laurie as in the OG timeline. Same with them saying they never found Michael's body which made no sense at all with him only being a normal psycho instead of a supernatural demon, that he was more or less through Thorn. No normal psycho survives burning to a crisp and then comes back as if he was never injured in the first place. Then him also looking like Wilbur's Michael looked like in H6 Pcut in H20's first kill scene. All those make no sense as they are. Wouldn't have cared which way it would have been a sequel to the OG timeline (if it was from H4 or H6 Pcut), because it would at least have made sense. Even though they would have had to explain the absense of Rachel and Jamie, if they had made it as a sequel to H4 (ignoring 5 and 6 Pcut).

[@valeriebreidenstein8362]

We might get something like that in the near future. If rumors are true, then we will get an H4.5, also a sequel to H4 that takes place in the current day with Rachel and jamie back. But hopefully they do the characters justice and let Michael be the way he was supposed to be. Even H4's writer and director didn't see him as pure evil and him having no personality is what makes the later movies so boring. But I can't wait for a Jamie movie. Hopefully they go deeper into their mind connection thing, maybe even use it as a way to stop the evil inside Michael.

[@sighbatsu]

Friday the 13th (2009) is also one of my favorites from the franchise. I don't enjoy a majority of the sequels. Especially since some of them blend into one another. The first film also blatantly ripping off Halloween was so funny to me. Like, you took the concept and just changed a couple things around and you made a smash horror hit.

[@thomasffrench3639]

Yeah, Kane Hodder is amazing, and it was a bad choice to recast. Because like it or not, Kane Hodder is Jason. Even if you prefer others, it's undisputed.

[@wardenmagellan2643]

Cody, is great seeing you and Sean collaborate!

[@orlandoruizjr3834]

Like you, Cody, Chucky was one of my gateways into horror. I was born in 83. So I was a little kid that was scared of Freddy and Jason before I ever tried to get through one of their movies. I remember seeing the TV spots and for Child's Play in 88 and being scared just from the trailers. It was Child's Play 2 that made me feel brave enough to check out the first one. Having a protagonist like Andy, who was around my age at the time, got me into more horror. I love that series, and like you, I enjoy the 2019 remake. Hot Take: I think The People Under The Stairs is one of the best horror films of the 1990s. One more: Friday The 13th 1980 is a four star horror classic. I know it's boring to you. I've seen you're review and I enjoyed every one of those Friday The 13 reviews. I'm never bored when I watch it. I love everything about it. I love that era of movies. Shlocky, low-budget but edgy for the time. I enjoy the characters in that one alot. It's not better than part 4, but it is up there, for me.

[@amandaaaryn8465]

[@TheThird1977]

Typing as we go through the video. * Scream as an anthology - the TV series went down that route, though only the first anthology that covered the opening two seasons was any good. * Jason Goes to Hell is a good, fun horror movie, it's just a great Friday the 13th / Jason movie. Had it been a body-hopping horror with a bespoke demon it would likely have been better received. I will say though that the opening scene is PEAK Friday and Creighton Duke is a fantastic character. Oh, and it did give us our first Freddy vs. Jason on-screen tease. * Halloween Ends was a film I genuinely enjoyed and appreciate what they tried to do. I mean, Michael is evil incarnate, but that doesn't mean he is the only evil that exists. It also ends with Michael so bookends his story with a definitive conclusion. * Kane Hodder in Jason X (pre-upgrade) has my favourite look and mask of all the versions. Derek Mears absolutely nailed it in the remake too, which is my second favourite in the franchise. * Horror covers so much of the broad strokes and while it is subjective, it is not as narrow a definition as some people consider it to be. Shit, for me The Terminator is a horror (slasher) film with an unstoppable killer who keeps getting up (even when all of its skin is burned off), a final girl, and a last stand duel between the two. * People watching remakes before the original is likely to be more common as we time passes and more films are remade. Like Cody, I am fascinated by the views of those who watched things in the "wrong" order, with a great example being older people like myself who watched the Star Wars movies in release order at the time of their release compared to those just starting now who can watch all of them in event chronological order. * Freddy's Dead is not a good movie. I did appreciate the idea of venturing into Freddy's mind, and the gimmick of the character putting on her 3D glasses as the cue for the audience to do the same was pretty damn sweet, plus the "First they tried burning me..." and cutting fingers monologue was great too. * Dawn of the Dead remake is the one I prefer though I do enjoy the original too. Fast zombies are my preferred version and THAT opening is iconic. * I used to think that Freddy being innocent of the crimes he was accused would have been an interest way to take it, with his dream killing being a gross overreaction, but Cody said it would have given him too much sympathy. My perfect "backstory" is Freddy's opening catch-up in FvJ where he talks about "my children" and why he needs Jason. * I love that the Evil Dead movies (from ED2 on) are basically different genre takes on the same general concept. All of them are great though. * Child's Play is a great series of movies and only SoC lets the side down. Curse/Cult of Chucky are also at the top of end when it comes to quality. Child's Play 3 was erroneously linked to an horrific murder in the UK in 1993, resulting in the film (and in some cases the entire trilogy) being removed from video stars and banned from being broadcast on TV.

If there’s ever a new addition to the Halloween franchise, I would love to see a New Nightmare type movie for Halloween, like every Halloween movie (besides Halloween 3 season of the witch) are just movies and they are getting ready to make a new Halloween movie that’s the usual formula as the ones prior, but the masks for the movie are made by the Silver Shamrock company, and obviously something evil comes about from this. This could be set in the same universe or even be a sequel to Season of the Witch, where in that movie Halloween was just a movie as well.

I love those first three Chucky movies but my ultimate favorite Chucky movie is the Bride of Chucky for me adding Jennifer Tilly to the franchise was an absolute outstanding decision Chucky is still most awesome but Tiffany's almost as evil as chuckster is one of the best slasher movies ever made.

[@superunknown2812]

Great movie and great soundtrack too

[@JesseJ588]

I still dont really know how i feel about Halloween Ends but i know this much... watching that movie in the theater ive never been more focused and invested on keeping up with what was going on and where it was going. Confused but intrigued 100%.

[@jackfisher9573]

Love the concept of this type of video and it's an awesome idea for interacting with your audience and launching a discussion, however there is quite a bit of discussion around the same movies! Think for next time (hoping there is one) it would be a nicer idea to broaden the discussion further than Halloween/F13/Chucky/NOES as it felt quite heavy on those ones. Keep up the good content man, I'm fairly new to your channel and really enjoying your shtick!

[@justiceflynn6297]

I am tired of hearing about these movies, in particular Halloween, it makes me like the movies less, so I tune out when people discuss these movies.

[@ArthurSanford3706]

He did say that this was for horror hot takes. Hopefully he does a movies in general version of this video.

[@ArthurSanford3706]

Thanks for featuring my comment Cody. I may disagree with you on Jaws, but I love your content.

[@damienwilliams2947]

When I wanna watch Friday I usually just watch 2-4 or 4-6 and stop.

[@thomasffrench3639]

I pretty much just watch part 4 if I am in the mood for a slasher, and if I am in the mood for a comedy, I watch 6. Don't really like to binge the series.

[@KingsNerdCave]

That is the way, though I add in X too for the wackiness.

[@jeramysanchez4718]

They made a 4th one?! I thought they stopped with Friday After Next 😝

[@dawngrant8768]

Child play is 35 years old. The first movie came out in 1988.

[@TheLongestTake]

Dude im so glad you recognize that the Childs Play remake wasnt bad. I think it had good ideas that could have grown into a solid sequel or trilogy

[@coreyproulx1525]

Nice, I made it in the video and to also be the closing comment makes it even more awesome lol. Thanks for all the great content Cody 👍

[@Xehanort10]

8:16 I actually agree with that one. The newest Halloween continuity had an actual beginning, middle and end and wasn't scrapped a couple of films in.

[@spicyjo95]

Please do more of these topics, it’s very entertaining

[@alexandriahensley2140]

I didnt see this till today but my hot takes are Jeepers Creepers has the most intense opening sequence of all time and is a masterpiece of tension and getting you to care about the characters. The butterfly effect is absolutely a horror movie and has always terrified me.

[@tommystrickland6268]

The tall man needs more love idk if i like him better than the others but he is amazing

[@mychunkyjordi7585]

F13 remake is my favourite and I've been watching this franchise since the 80's 👍🐾💜

[@TheSummitCove]

when he calls her tits stupendous i lose it every time. one of the best in the franchise for sure.

[@JakeTilton]

This was a fun video man…keep it up!

[@skydonkey900]

I really enjoyed this video man. I think this would be a great topic to revisit every 3 to 6 months or so.

[@mellyyy1290]

I swear that Seed of Chucky stuff was just there to troll you 🤣 But like… I do like Seed of Chucky 🫣🫣😂 not my favorite by a long shot though. Edit: got to the end of your vid. FYI my top 3 are CP 2, 3, & Bride Chucky LOL.

[@screamscreenstudios856]

Phantasm NEEDS a remake! Time has gone by sense ravenger and its time to see a new take on The Tall Man!

[@daryldixon3685]

Watched it a few weeks ago and loved it! I’m all for a remake as long as it’s not full of wokeness

[@playedout148]

They'd screw it up.

[@wittycreativehandle]

Jason Takes Manhattan is an expert-level commentary n the franchise, and i LOVE it.

[@dxrkmovies]

Fantastic video as always Cody. These are defiantly hot takes that I am surprised by but there where some I agree with. I am glad you liked Rob Zombies Halloween II but WOW it was a hot take. I respect! Can't wait to see the next video!!!

[@Mostly_Horror]

I’m going to get a tshirt made that says “all opinions are valid. Respect their opinion. You don’t have to agree”. 😂. Enjoyed this a lot!!

[@thisjustincomics]

We shouldn’t judge horror movies based off how scary they are or not. We should judge them like we judge ALL movies

[@thomasffrench3639]

I think that’s fair however even if a film is really shallow, if the horror is done well, we should judge it as a positive. There’s more to horror than scares, but it is a huge part of the films

[@lessismore8533]

[@kingoceanblu4445]

I would have loved Cody to react to my hot take: Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Beginning is my favorite horror movie of all time. And you dont have to watch the remake to understand it in the slightest

[@JoeHight75]

I'm still bummed we never got a sequel to the 2009 Friday remake, especially after I read about the planned zip line kill and having the summer camp being open and functioning in a sequel.

[@shinobime5554]

46:06 wish this was the popular opinion Also I feel like Saw 4-6 are very underrated storywise

[@brandonmurphy6083]

Dude do more of these!!!!

[@Theendoftimekaliyuga]

"Halloween started the slashers franchise in 1978" they say Psycho-1969 Black christmas-1974 Texas chainsaw massacre also 1974 And dont tell me they arent slashers whats norman doing with that knife, slashing. What was billy doing to the sorority sisters... Slashing them, what happend to sally hardenskys brother... Slashed... Chainsaw style

[@thomasffrench3639]

Yes, but the slasher boom started with Halloween. It made that style of stories it’s own genre

[@Theendoftimekaliyuga]

@@thomasffrench3639 what did It do that the others didnt (real question)

[@thomasffrench3639]

@@Theendoftimekaliyuga started the slasher boom.

[@Theendoftimekaliyuga]

@@thomasffrench3639 thats kinda avoiding the question that that could be nothing more than greater exposure and more awareness as the world became more and more integrated with pop culture and watching movies and tv more hours weekly, if thats the only reason than I think its just an arbitrary statement, if anything what started the boom was the response to Halloween in f13 which triggered Halloween 2 and back and forth I think there peeing contest is what started it not just Halloween really

[@Theendoftimekaliyuga]

@@thomasffrench3639 cody has also stated that black Christmas deserves the recognition Halloween gets, and he doesn't say that about Texas chainsaw id love to hear him explain why it's not a slasher I'm sure he's got a good explanation

[@ElijahisBatman87]

Thanks for the video man. The hour flew by!

[@charleymae1042]

Scream 4 is better than the original, and the best in the franchise. To add to that, Charlie Walker is my 3rd favorite ghostface due to his brutality and incredible reveal.

[@thomasffrench3639]

The Omen is interesting because it's basically shot for shot, so it is still a technically decent movie, so I can see why someone would like it.

[@MovieProdigy25]

Remake was the first I saw as well so I also love it I remember the trailer playing all the time. The original is Top 10 easy

[@nickdorenkamp959]

I watched the remake last month and there are a couple of roles that should've been switched. The only performance I hated in the film was Julia Stiles performance as the mother. Reason being It was a little too wooden.

[@thomasffrench3639]

Halloween original is excellent, but yeah it's overrated. It has this weird reputation of being the only slasher film that is worthy of being considered one of the best horror films ever when it has some flaws, even ones that would be improved in other slashers such as acting and story. It is an excellent Twilight Zone esque slasher film with great suspense and tension building with the film direction and music, but there's other slasher films that are scarier, better written, and more complete than Halloween. But since many of those films have gore, they are just considered exploitation trash. One of the best in the slasher genre for sure, but it's not worlds better than other slashers just because John Carpenter directed it, and it doesn't "need" gore.

[@98izzark69]

Idgaf, as a 24 year old the original evil dead was one of the most terrifying horror movies growing up

[@isaiahwilliams2332]

The reason movies like alien terminator and predator are soo iconic and classic movies is because they don’t have a set genre. The reasonz that have struggled since the original is because they tried to fit them into a genre. What made them so iconic is that they were the perfect mix of action horror and syfi. I wish more movies mixed genres like that instead of just making a strictly horror movie or strictly action

[@thomasffrench3639]

Alien is definitely a horror film through and through. The sequel is a blend
