10 Horror Film Franchises Worse Than Paranormal Activity

7. Lake Placid

Lake Placid (1999) was an unremarkable killer croc movie whose unremarkable box office performance would€™ve put the kibosh on future movies if Twentieth Century Fox hadn€™t decided to cash in on the title with a bunch of DVD €œseemquels.€ You know the drill: shot in Bulgaria, full of dubbed extras and has beens (John Schneider appears in Lake Placid 2) and loaded with cheap effects, these are the kinds of films that stoners get high to, which makes you wonder about the youth of today. Following 3 sequels, Lake Placid Vs Anaconda (2015) combines the franchise with another crappy creature feature series, and the results are exactly what you€™d expect. The plot goes something like this: there€™s a giant crocodile and a giant snake on the loose, and in between snacking on the nearly naked supporting cast, they fight. Somehow, Robert Englund gets involved. Worst Offender: Lake Placid: The Final Chapter (2012), for telling us a bold-faced lie.
