I did a search and did not find a thread on this topic. Throughout the years there have been many horror movie franchises of varying quality from the Universal franchises (Dracula, Frankenstein, etc.) to Hammer (Dracula, Frankenstein, etc.) to Halloween, Psycho, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and many others. So, the question is which is your favorite and why is it so? Personally, I would have to say that the Friday the 13th series is my favorite. I know, it is not the pinnacle of the horror film. I just have always really enjoyed these films. Jason (even though he does not make a full film appearance until two and does not get his hockey mask until three) was my all-time favorite horror movie villain. So, what do you think? What is your favorite horror movie franchise and why?
