The Purge movie timeline is almost as complicated as the horrific morals at its center. Based around the premise that all crime is legal for one night of the year across America, The Purge timeline is intriguing, as a US where annual purging is legal feels completely alien yet, at the same time, worryingly not far enough from reality. Writer/director/producer James DeMonaco has expanded the world of The Purge significantly since the first movie arrived in 2013, and several key events in the timeline explain how the New Founding Fathers came to power and started the brutal practice. y6k1i

Halloween is quickly approaching and lovers of the holiday should be preparing their costumes, parties, and decorations for the scariest night of the year. There are sure to be plenty of DIY and animatronic props in yards and in houses this year, as neighbors vie for the spookiest house.

The Purge (TV series) was canceled ahead of its third season, and there were several reasons behind this decision. While the show had a reasonably sized fan base, it wasn't enough to prevent its network, USA, from cutting it short. Despite the huge success that the film franchise has enjoyed, this doesn't seem to have been the case for The Purge TV show.

Surprise horror hit The Purge became a signature franchise for Blumhouse Productions, and here's how each of the movies and TV seasons so far ranks. Made for only $3 million, the original Purge movie proved to be a massive success for all involved, earning $89 million worldwide. With that profit, a sequel was inevitable, and each successive entry in the Purge series has managed to outgross its predecessor. More surprising is that each sequel earns as good or better reviews from critics, defying the general downward pattern of franchises.

When Rick & Morty spoofed The Purge franchise back in season 2, the Adult Swim hit accidentally predicted the future of the horror/thriller/sci-fi satire movie series. As proven by Rick & Morty’s Terminator spoof, the anarchic animated comedy is not afraid to take on any franchise no matter how famous or fan-adored it is. Given the Adult Swim show’s love of the horror genre, it came as no surprise when Rick & Morty parodied The Purge movies in season 2.

There are over a dozen movies set in 2022, some of which pictured the time as a faraway sci-fi era and some of which expected it to be a surprisingly pedestrian year. A great many movies released in 2022 will, of course, inevitably also be set in 2022. However, a select few movies released in the last few decades were also set in 2022, and some of them predicted a strange future for the world.

Here's every TV show that was adapted from a horror movie. Hollywood studios attempting to turn popular movies into TV shows is far from a new trend, and that makes total sense. If something works well for audiences as a one-off movie, there's reason to believe offering more of it on an ongoing basis could prove successful. Still, the amount of movie-to-TV transitions has steadily increased in recent years, as the desire to capitalize on existing intellectual property instead of placing risky bets on original projects, has become the norm.

The Purge is extremely influenced by his work, so it makes sense that John Carpenter should take the helm for the next movie. The Purge from 2013 was a low-budget siege movie starring Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey. The movie took place in a nightmarish future in America where for one day a year, all crime is legal, so civilians can "purge" their hatred and frustrations. It was a chilling concept that clearly struck a chord, as the movie was a big success and soon spawned a franchise.

Starting out as a contained survival horror movie with a fairly small budget, the success of the first ThePurgemovie launched a wildly popular franchise. Complete with five films and a TV series, the concept has definitely outgrown the single house that the whole franchise started in. Part horror, part action, and part political commentary, ThePurge has seen a ton of different and unique characters across all of its iterations.

The creator of The Purge, James DeMonaco, explained his concept for a season 3 of the television show. Produced by Blumhouse Productions and distributed by Universal Pictures, the franchise started in 2013 with its original film. It went on to spawn multiple sequels, with the fifth entry, The Forever Purge, hitting theaters this past weekend. Inspired by an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, the series has been quite successful at the box office.
