Despite not really caring about the films past part 3, you have to admit, Saw the new horror mega-franchise, just like NOES, Halloween and Ft13 were during their runs. And despite all the complaints, people are STILL paying to see each new installment. But yeah, Jigsaw is probably the ONLY horror legend to game mass popularity within the past 10 years. The point being, he's the lone contender from the 2000s, and since everybody else is too busy doing remakes, no one's taking their chances to create other original horror characters in hopes to topple Jigsaw's popularity. So, as far as I'm concerned, he deserves that spot and hell, keep those sequels coming!
