Hello everyone , what a brilliant forum ! so glad to be on board finally and be able to share knowledge and input with you all. As you can guess by my username my horror passion lays in the TCM series ( NOT the remakes ! ) but also a big fan of Halloween , Friday 13th etc. Also a big fan of your more underground disturbing horror movies , pleased to meet you all

Thanks for the welcome bro ! Regarding the next generation in very critical over prequels and sequels etc and personally didn't enjoy it , but to be brutally honest I didn't like TCM 2 either, i feel like they tried to tame Bubba a bit and he lost a bit of his edge . I much proffered the brutal butcher of the original film.

The 1974 original is a timeless classic, no doubt. I do admire the overall franchise for trying to be inventive with the sequels. The sequels were never formulaic, but this can all backfire. It's frustrating for a sequel to deviate too much from what was established in the original. It works in some franchises, though (e.g. Child's Play with Bride of Chucky).

The Next Generation would've been much better had it been less campy (with better production values, it could've been a great parody). I do like the remakes. They have stylistic virtues and the stories brought back lots of the brutality and darkness that had been absent in some TCM sequels. Still, i doubt anything will ever top the original TCM.

I agree with your post completely , I do like the original concept of the sequels but was dissapointed when the producers suddenly changed the family and Leatherface's character like the first movie didn't exist, I felt like Bubba was laughable in TCM 2 but like you say in some cases it works .
