Been long enough since one of these was last done and with today's occasion and with all of the numerous Horror films and shows I've watched all month long and tomorrow's occasion I got in the mood, so why not. Of all of the major, big-name Horror film series listed, which is your single favorite installment in each? Remakes, prequels, spin-offs and crossovers count in any series that has them. Just cut and paste this list and fill each in with your choice. If I forgot any series feel free to add but make sure they consist of at least three entries or more. Two-movie only series (ie. Laid To Rest). don't count)
- Halloween
- Friday The 13th
- A Nightmare On Elm Street
- Saw
- Scream
- Child's Play
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- Evil Dead
- Hellraiser
- Phantasm
- Alien
- Predator
- Final Destination
- The Purge
- Insidious
- Paranormal Activity
- Conjuring Universe
IMO, the best entry in each series:
- Halloween - 1978 Original
- Friday The 13th - Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter
- A Nightmare On Elm Street - New Nightmare
- Saw - Original
- Scream - Original
- Child's Play - Original
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - 2003 Remake
- Evil Dead - Evil Dead II
- Hellraiser - Hellraiser III: Hell On Earth
- Phantasm - Phantasm II
- Alien - Aliens
- Predator - Predator 2
- Final Destination - Original
- The Purge - The Purge: Anarchy
- Insidious - Insidious: Chapter 3
- Paranormal Activity - Original
- Conjuring Universe - The Conjuring 2
Also some additional ones:
- Jaws - Original
- Jurassic Park - Original
- It - Chapter One (2017)
- Tremors - Original
- Candyman - 1992 Original
- Hannibal Lecter - The Silence Of The Lambs
- Romero's Living Dead - Day Of The Dead (1985)
- Return Of The Living Dead - Return Of The Living Dead Part II
- Puppet Master - Puppet Master 4
- Pumpkinhead - Original
- Wishmaster - Original
- Maniac Cop - Maniac Cop 2
- Leprechaun - Original
- Critters - Original
- Cube - Original
- Poltergeist - Poltergeist II: The Other Side
- I Know What You Did Last Summer - Original
- Re-Animator - Original
- Hatchet - Hatchet II
I'm sure I left some off. I just listed the major series I remember for the time being. I'm sure a few of my choices are controversial or unconventional. Not to say I dislike the likes of the original Poltergeist or TCM or ROTLD, I just simply enjoyed the sequels or remakes more (and bear in mind, I pretty much consider the likes of Predator 2, ROTLD2 and Poltergeist II equal with the originals as is). I find the original TCM and remake are actually pretty close for me as well. Some might argue Jurassic Park isn't really Horror but I've always kind of considered the series a bit of a Natural Horror/Sci-Fi hybrid, figured why not have it in with my additional choices. With The Conjuring Universe, the Annabelle films along with The Nun and Curse Of La Llarona count as well.
Happy Halloween!
