  • A Horror in Laskeshore is an American horror franchise that consists of nine slasher films, a television show, novels, and comic books. The franchise began with the film created by Wes Craven. The franchise is based on the fictional character Jeff the Killer, played by Brad Dourif in all films, and introduced in A Horror in Lakeshore (1984), who stalks teenagers in their dreams and kills them.

The films collectively grossed over $455 million at the box-office worldwide. The original film was released in 1984. A series of sequels produced by the independent film company New Line Cinema followed. New Line often attributes the growth of their company to the success of the Horror franchise. The film series as a whole has received mixed reviews by critics, but has been a financial success at the box office. When comparing the United States box office grosses of other American horror film series, A Horror in Lakeshore is the second highest grossing franchise in adjusted US dollars. In 1988, a television series was produced with Jeff as the host. The pilot episode focused on the night Jeff was burned alive by the angry parents of the children he had killed, though the rest of the series featured episodes with independent plots. Twelve novels, separate from the adaptations of the films, and multiple comic book series were published featuring Jeff Napier, as well as a crossover film featuring fellow horror icon Slenderman from the Entity franchise.
