Similarly, how did \u003ci\u003eA Nightmare on Elm Street\u003c\/i\u003e evolve from a film by Wes Craven about Freddy Krueger into a film about Wes Craven making a Freddy Krueger movie? Film series are destined to change with time, but horror film series are often unrecognizable after multiple sequels and reboots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This work examines horror films and their sequels to determine the glue that holds individual franchises together, which films matter to a series' continuity, which should be considered as canon, and what goes into the process of continuing--or, in some cases, abandoning--the overarching storyline. Series covered include \u003ci\u003eFriday the 13th, Halloween, Child's Play, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Leprechaun, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eScream.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josh Spiegel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476691657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476691657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.54w x 0.47d","brand":"Josh Spiegel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075852628223,"sku":"9781476691657","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80c4159e-6918-41a6-98e3-29e7e410a3b0.jpg?v=1685461818","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/timelines-of-terror-josh-spiegel-9781476691657","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
