Oct. 27 was opening day for the greatly awaited Saw III.
It was just in time for Halloween weekend.
In a survey presented to 20 people from the ages of 18 to 30, 14 survey takers said they planned to watch the film on its opening weekend.
"Out of all the scary movies that have come out in the last five years or so, Saw I and Saw II have been the most popular scary movies yet," said Lilia Medrano, a scary movie lover.
Many of the survey takers said that of horror films that have sequels, the sequels are not as intense or good as the original.
Saw I and II each were well-written.
They have such mystery in the story line that it keeps the viewer's attention throughout the movie.
Adam Mata, a radiology major, said he has been waiting for Saw III to come out since the moment Saw II was over.
His anticipation to see what happens in the next movie has made Halloween extremely exciting this year.
Jessica Tirado, a mother of two, said, "Even though they are good movies, I will not watch them because they give me nightmares."
Tirado is a 22-year-old woman with a tough personality, which shows how well- written the sequels are.
The Saw sequels scare anyone who dares to watch them. Every one of the survey takers is anxious to find out whether the sequels end with Saw III or will continue and keep fans waiting for the next film.
Saw fanatics will just have to watch and see what will come of these popular films.
Saw III is at a theater near you. Can you handle it?
