Perhaps I should rename the thread then, as that's not what I intended.  Otherwise something like Dracula or Godzilla would be the clear winners, despite having drastically different series within them.

So we going by 8 films or more only? Nothing under that? So films like SAW won't count?

I figure series with 6 and 7 are common enough that they'll merit their own lists after this one.

Friday the 13th is listed as 12 but either that's wrong or I'm having trouble remembering a 12th movie in the series which isn't a remake...

Basically what I'm going for is that if there's just one remake, with no more planned, that's fine, I'm counting it as one series.  If the remake has sequels, however, it's essentially spawning a new film series and I'm counting it separately.

You can take anything you want. 

The Ring was pretty effective on me when it first came out on VHS.  I'm curious what my opinion would be if I were to rewatch it now.

I've seen a lot of love for Killer Klowns... but I just couldn't get into it.

Looks like 11, actually.  Added it to the list.

[Godzilla Showa series -]

Hey guys, I thought I'd do a series of these threads over time.  This is always a great resource to have on hand; it also leads to fun and informative discussions and is sometimes a good chance for the quiet guy in the back of the room to be heard.

Let's start by bringing up the longest horror film series we can find.  Let's not count chains like what the old Universal franchises have become- I'm gonna say only count a remake if it's the most recent film in the franchise and another one hasn't been announced yet.  For the sake of this specific discussion, the only one I'm aware would count are Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street.

As for the longest-running film series I can think of, barring remake chains, we have:

   
• Godzilla Showa series - 15 films
• Witchcraft - 13 films
• Friday the 13th - 12 films**
• Puppet Master - 11 films*

Runner-ups (franchises with 8 or 9 entries)

   
• Hammer Productions Dracula - 9 films
• Hellraiser - 9 films
• A Nightmare on Elm Street - 9 films***
• Halloween - 8 films
• Children of the Corn - 9 films*
• The Amityville Horror - 8 films
• Gamera Showa Series - 8 films
• The Howling - 8 films

* Count includes singular remake
* Count includes un-numbered "versus" film
* Count includes questionable sequel

If someone would rather post an image instead of waiting for me to come up with one, I wouldn't complain.

To be fair, I believe you were called a sex offender more often than a hooker.

You know, I thought zombies because everybody else was posting zombies. Perhaps "The Final Destination"?

tits in hansel and gretel? O_o

Dude... you have heard of the movie, right?  This isn't the kid's story.

Eh, it depends on the country and the shipment.  Most countries have their own versions of Ebay, Amazon, etc. so that shouldn't be a huge issue.

Enough of a hint to try one I haven't seen.

Land of the Dead?

Anybody who's not getting laid tonight want to chill on Skype, feel free to hit me up w.s.mib.

Ebay operates in any country that has a postal system.
