Name some movies that actually have 5 sequals.

Hellraiser
Puppet Master
Friday The 13th
Sleepaway Camp
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Halloween
The Return of the Living Dead
Star Wars (Including prequels)
Planet of the Apes
Godzilla
James Bond
Star Trek
Jaws

Tons more I'm sure.

The general rule is that sequels suck. But, it isn't always true. Refer to the original Star Wars trilogy or Planet of the Apes. James Bond, Godzilla, and Star Trek. Hellraiser and Friday the 13th both have some decent sequels (although no better than the original).

Yep, all the scary movies end up on different topics and have nothing to do with eachother and kill my time.

Actually, many of the horror sequels have the same exact protagonist and antagonist, and, in most cases, at least the main antagonist is the same. Freddy, or an incarnation of Freddy for Nightmare on Elm Street. Nancy is in or referenced in nearly all the Nightmare on Elm Street films. The Puppet Master tends to recycle their evil puppets. Jason Voorhees is always present as a direct or indirect motivation to all the killings in Friday the 13th. Michael Myers returns as the killer in every single Halloween film aside from the entirely unrelated threequel " Halloween III:Season of the Witch." The Living Dead series as well as the Dead series all relate back to the main issue of a zombie invasion or the aftermath of one. In the Living Dead series everything relates back to Trioxin and secret government studies as a source of the invasion and zombification of humans and animals alike. All the Hellraiser films feature either Pinhead or the Cenobites as antagonists or forms of antagonizers. Several of the Hellraiser films follow the same protagonist. Jaws has the shark.

They have the same person well yeah, but all the other characters are different people. Nightmare on Elm Street is all wishy washy because half the movies are stupid and different. Though, the Halloween series is also true and movies like 3-7 have nothing to do with the first movie and the 8th is when Jamie Lee Curtis comes back and it turns the plot around again.
