But that's just it! Serials don't need extreme originality. One of the best parts of these types of series is that the bad guy is always the same, just in different scenarios (with the exception of F13 pt5, which was just bullshit). Freddy is always the same Freddy, Jason is always the same Jason, and Michael Myers was always the same Michael Myers. To change that and try to revamp the theme sometimes doesn't work and can alienate some of the most hardcore fans.
Freddy, for example, is Freddy. He has his specific origin, and I like that. He was from Springwook, I liked that. Sure, the movies were bad, but I didn't care about the plot, I came to see Freddy.
Michael Myers is MM. He's the embodiment of the spirit of Samhain. He terrorizes Haddonfield and is constantly trying to kill his family (no matter how thin the bloodline).
Jason is Jason. He drowned in Crystal lake and came back to terrorize anyone who dared trespass on his hunting ground.
Not many of these movies were actually scary, but they did give us a good time enjoying our favorite anti-heroes.
But that's just me.:D
