Line 6:
Not the same as a series with a [[Villain Protagonist]]. Each installment may introduce a whole new set of heroes, but they may still be the protagonists.
 
Very popular with [[Slasher MoviesMovie]]s, probably because the heroes can die off in the end without ruining the series. Often though, the villain will appear to die at the end, to allow closure to the series if another one is not made. [[The End - or Is It?]] ending optional.
 
The idea started with Pulp novels and villains like [[Fu Manchu]] or [[Fantomas]].
