Next thing you know someone sees how well the couple of one liners works and the whole series becomes a comedy. a gimmicky comedy.
Over exposure of any villian kills the mystery - familiarity kills the mystery .. we want more more more and ruin it for ourselves ..

Agreed. Freddy has been turned into a joke. And I hate that, because the first film was a genuinely creepy movie; it worked so well. I like a couple of others in the series (yes, I admit it....I like the first 4 and actually think that three is a more than decent horror flick) but would prefer if there was only the one film.
Exorcist has the most disappointing sequel.....the first film is arguably the scariest film ever made and the others that follow are just outright silly. And I also agree with Jaws and Halloween.
And I will add The Matrix trilogy. The first is one of the best science fiction movies ever made. Matrix Reloaded wasn't bad, but it was a little disappointing. And Matrix Revolutions was more than a little disappointing, the ending wasn't handled well at all, in my opinion. :(
