None of them … and no, I do not consider Jaws a horror movie ... it's an "action, drama, thriller" Jaws was always in the horror section at movie rental stores. I could see how you can classify it as a thriller but because Jaws is a monster and there's gory scenes I would put it as a horror. And it has a bunch of cheesy sequels which is indicative of Horror. There is a long standing debate as to what constitutes "horror" and whether Jaws fits the bill as being true horror. It's rather like the debate about Die Hard being a Christmas movie. Cheesy sequels are made in all genres not just horror. Bruce is not a monster .. he is a very large shark doing what fictional very large sharks do... eating people, wrecking boats, terrorizing foolish humans who refuse to stay out of his water and stop feeding him. |

Probably easier to list what I have seen:
Most of the Universal horrors.
Most of the Hammer horrors.
A handful of Bava’s horrors, if that counts as a franchise.
Psycho (the first only)
Jaws (depending on whether or not that counts, see above; the first only)
The first Halloween.
The Nun
The Blair Witch Project (first only, again, unless you count the supplementary material, which is better than the movie)
Scream 1, 2, and 4
I saw a few minutes of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake last weekend while it was screening on the line to a haunted house. It was boring, gory, and stupid.
I think those are the only horror franchises I have seen.

Just like Salzmank above... I'll list what I have seen...
The classic Universal horror movies
/end of list
Everything else: Never Seen It
(I have seen stand alone horror classics like The Shining, but no other franchises. Horror is not my genre)

You haven’t seen Psycho and Jaws, @forceghostackbar ? Oh, I have. I was just thinking of popular franchises in horror. I don't really consider Jaws a franchise because I never cared to watch the sequels. |

I don't really consider Jaws a franchise because I never cared to watch the sequels. Nor I, for either of ’em. Psycho II is supposed to be good, but (as you and I were discussing with Star Wars) the original movie’s ending is so final that it’s difficult to contemplate a sequel. |

I didn't even know there was a Psycho II!  Apparently it turns it into more of a horror movie; Hitchcock’s film wasn’t exactly horror, certainly not on the Halloween/ Nightmare on Elm Street model. Toasted Cheese is a big fan. |

Haven't you ever heard of the show River Monsters? Bruce is larger than any great white shark and no shark acts that way with an intent on killing people if that ain't a monster I don't know what is. Yes he is a shark but he is a Monster shark |

I love horror, but somehow I missed anything/everything "Phantasm."
Been waiting for a good night to give it (and its sequels) a proper junk food Saturnalia, but the planets haven't aligned yet.
