Even horror fans will be surprised to find that this unexpected late '80s movie spawned the most sequels of any franchise in the horror genre.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The horror franchise with the most sequels is not what many would expect, as the humble, direct-to-video Witchcraft movies have perpetuated the genre's longest-running, interconnected series since its debut in the late eighties. Witchcraft's legacy is easily obscured by notable horror sagas that are equipped with more impressive sequel conceptions and are backed by big-time production companies.
The first Witchcraft film follows a young mother who comes to find that her husband and mother-in-law are reincarnated witches planning to use her newborn baby William in a Satanic ritual. William, whose evil lineage prompted him to grow into a powerful warlock inclined to use his abilities for good, became the focus of a slew of Witchcraft sequels released up until 2016.
Witchcraft Was Never A Popular Horror Franchise Since its inception, the Witchcraft franchise has developed 15 sequels following the supernatural adventures of William Spanner, making it one of horror's longest-running, interconnected series of all time. Despite releasing a record catalog of 16 films over the span of thirty-five years, the Witchcraft universe continuously failed to transcend niche audiences and break into mainstream popularity or notoriety.
How The Witchcraft Franchise Lasted 16 Installments In spite of it all, the Witchcraft series became one of cinema's many endlessly revived horror franchises, holding true for 16 installments. The biggest difference between Witchcraft and other beloved horror series is that Witchcraft seems to be perpetuated by low budgets and movies that don't run past 90 minutes, instead of box office blowouts and scarily good plot narratives.
