Thank God… Jigsaw to Hang it Up

Did you hear that?  Yes, it is the sound of the horror community rejoicing in the news that SAW 3D will be the final entry.  Read on for more details…

After seven films Jigsaw is finally hanging it up.  The seventh film will be the series swan song.  SAW 1-7 producer Oren Koules told USA Today that”It’s time to stop. We have told the story we wanted to tell, and this is going to be a great farewell.”  Tobin Bell and series producers are expected to make the announcement on Friday at Comic Con. 

SAW 3D will feature 11 booby traps, nearly double the average for previous films. The film was re-edited and submitted six times to the MPAA to bring it from an NC-17 to an R rating.

Most of you probably saw (pun intended) this coming due to the dissapointing performance of Saw VI. The arguement about the whether the series should end goes beyond beating a dead horse status but what do you guys think?  Can we even comprehend a halloween season without a new Saw release?  Will Paranormal Activity take the crown?
