* FranchiseKiller: ''The Ghost Dimension'' may have been intended as a GrandFinale, but even if it hadn't, its poor performance at the box office, [[ExecutiveMeddling stemming partly from a VOD distribution strategy]] that caused some theater chains to boycott the film, likely would've killed the series regardless.

Despite this, there was an attempt to revive the series six years later with ''Next of Kin'', but it too was negatively received and was sent straight-to-streaming due to the COVID-19 pandemic (not helping is that ''Next of Kin'''s story is almost completely disconnected from the other movies); although more sequels were announced, even producer Jason Blum wasn't hopeful, stating that perhaps the franchise had run its course.

* CreatorBacklash: Jason Blum, the head of Creator/BlumhouseProductions and the series' longtime producer, called ''Next of Kin'' [[https://variety.com/2022/film/festivals/jason-blum-blumhouse-batgirl-paranormal-activity-1235335233/ "terrible"]] and said that "it's time to put [the series] to bed" in response to its poor performance.
