Favorite Horror Movie Franchise

[davos]

In light of Halloween I thought this would be a cool thread.

Mine by a long shot is Nightmare on Elm Street. The whole premise is just so freaking original and it creeped me out like crazy when I was a youngling.

What's yours?

Leprechaun

The first 5 Halloween's (I even liked 3).

Leprechaun

Back 2 tha Hood is a masterpiece

Halloween by miles. There are so many horrible Friday the 13th movies. The first couple of Nightmare on Elm Street movies and the reboot are good

For a series this is probably the best.....

Can't really say there's a franchise I like that much. "Franchise" just about always means 'great first movie followed by crappy sequels'.

Off hand, I can't think of one where I actually liked more than just the original.

Phantasm.. Maybe theyre not as good as I remember, but loved them growing up...

Evil Dead... Enough said...

What are the sequels to Devil's Rejects? Guess I need to go watch 1000 Corpses again...

Heard about a sequel to The Strangers, that movie was fuggin creepy, really scary 'cause it couldve been real...

[davos]

Evil Dead and Scream are definitely good ones

I've sen 1000 corpses and Rejects...fun flicks

[SCMunnerlyn1]

Scream and Leprechaun for me.

The original Friday the 13th line was great. Not a fan of the remake/reboot.

Evil Dead series was great too.

The old Universal monster films are great too.

Captain Spaulding is the greatest horror movie character of all time. Sick, evil, funny, twisted, an compelling at the same time.

I'm always gonna say Halloween, but only the original was any good. The sequels weren't that great and H20 and the Rob Zombie versions killed it for me.

But a close second would have to be Psycho. And Evil Dead should be considered comedy, not horror.

Haloween was great, and part 2 was a good continuation of the story. Part three was original and creative, but didn't catch on. Would have been great if it were titled anything other than part of the Halloween series.

Evil Dead is great b/c of the comedy. The first two were only comedic at points, but by the time part three (Army of Darkness) came out, it was pure comedy.
