Halloween.

Executives butchered what was gonna be an anthology series because they saw Michael Myers as a marketable villain. So now every film in the series has gotta be the same thing again and again with the same monster doing the same things, ad infinitum.

Now I come to think of it that's, like, pretty much the entire mainstream of the horror genre isn't it?

Halloween 3 is (imho) worse than Halloween, but it is better than the other sequels because it does try to do something different.

Yep which is exactly why I'm not into most horror movies. It feels like there are about 5 horror movies that have all been remade 10,000 times each.
