[Fearonsarms]

Hellraiser - Haven't seen all, but the one people hate with the different generations of the toymaker.

That was Hellraiser 4 Bloodlines-not my fave but I liked it and think it is underrated. I thought it was batter than parts 3,5,6,8, 9 but not seen Revelations yet I'm too scared too.

[Jigsaw Killer]

How about anthology movies to add to the list? Here's some anthologies and my picks for the best in each:


Creepshow - The Crate

Creepshow 2 - The Hitchhiker

Tales From The Hood - Hardcore Convert

Tales From The Darkside: The Movie - Lot 249

[Fearonsarms]

I can never remember the titles of particular segments of anthology movies so all I can think of is:
Three Extremes-Dumplings

[Jigsaw Killer]

I think I saw Three Extremes but don't remember it well.

[emmajaynex]

Friday The 13th; The first old school one.

Halloween; The newest one

A Nightmare On Elm Street; Number 6

Saw; I like pretty much all of them but number one absouletly startled me!

Scream; Number 4.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre; The first one.

Alien; Havent seen it.

Predator; Havent seen it.

Phantasm; Havent seen it.

Evil Dead; Havent seen it.

Hellraiser; Havent seen it.

Child's Play; ALL!

Final Destination; Havent seen it.

[Fearonsarms]

I think I saw Three Extremes but don't remember it well.

There were three segments I think they were called Cut, Box and Dumplings but I may be wrong was awhile since I saw it. But Dumplings stood out by a mile.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I need to see it again to refresh my memory, I absolutely don't remember those.

[Fearonsarms]

I need to see it again to refresh my memory, I absolutely don't remember those.

Worth giving it another try-let us know what you think when you see it. I would recommend you watch them in the order of Box first (Takashi Miike's film if I've got the title wrong) then Cut and end on a high with Dumplings. :)

Edit: I just read Staal's thread and it was called Box so yeah start with that one.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I'll try to track it down. I always enjoy a good anthology.

Beyond Reanimator is feckin brilliant! Jeffrey Combs should be worshipped as a demi god!

Definitely :) I've even watched some terrible recent films that he's had a cameo in just so I could see him. They were so bad I can't even remember what they were called :)

You must be my evil twin as you parallel my life !!.. I loved him in the Frighteners ~(one of his better films!)

They've even made a movie about us:
www.imdb.com/title/tt0069427/

[Jigsaw Killer]

I got to see the Re-Animator series one day, always wanted to give them a look.

Also thought about adding the Universal and Hammer series to the list, those are good ones to add for sure.

[Dead&Bloated]

out of what you listed these are my picks.

Friday the 13th - original
Halloween - remake
Nightmare on Elm Street - part 3 dream warriors
Saw - first one
Scream - first one
Texas Chainsaw Massacre - remake
Alien - first one
Predator - first one
Phantasm - first one
Evil Dead - first one
Hellraiser - part 3 hell on earth
Child's play - first one

[Jigsaw Killer]

Of the movies of the [REC]/Quarantine series I've seen, I probably like [REC] 2 the most. That could be a good series to add to the list.

[The Villain]

Of the movies of the [REC]/Quarantine series I've seen, I probably like [REC] 2 the most. That could be a good series to add to the list.

I liked that one the most too. It took the movie in a whole new direction and made the first one better. Plus it didnt have the stigma of the American shot for shot remake.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I really liked how [REC2] was literally set right after the first movie and in the same timeframe. I love that kind of tight continuity in a sequel.

[Fearonsarms]

I really liked how [REC2] was literally set right after the first movie and in the same timeframe. I love that kind of tight continuity in a sequel.

Me too I thought it worked well with Halloween and Halloween 2 (the originals) too :)

[Jigsaw Killer]

I love that as well. It's always cool when a sequel has that tight a connection to a previous movie.

[Fearonsarms]

I love that as well. It's always cool when a sequel has that tight a connection to a previous movie.

Oh and of course there's Hellraiser and Hellraiser 2:Hellbound. As much as I adore Hellraiser, I found the sequel to be darker, deeper and scarier and so is my personal fave in the hellraiser series :)

[Dara]

Oh and of course there's Hellraiser and Hellraiser 2:Hellbound. As much as I adore Hellraiser, I found the sequel to be darker, deeper and scarier and so is my personal fave in the hellraiser series :)

Kenneth Cranham is absolutely fantastic in Hellbound ,such a great horror character
" The mind is a labyrinth, ladies and gentlemen, a puzzle. And while the paths of the brain are plainly visible, its ways deceptively apparent, its destinations are unknown. Its secrets still secret. And, if we are honest, it is the lure of the labyrinth that draws us to our chosen field to unlock those secrets. Others have been here before us and have left us signs, but we, as explorers of the mind, must devote our lives and energies to going further to tread the unknown corridors in order to find ultimately, the final solution. We have to see, we have to know..."

I completely agree-fantastic character and performance by the actor also for some reason the end of the film absolutely scares me shit out of me even now :)

Wha? You actually liked Predator 2 more than the original? That's the first time I ever heard of somebody saying that, it was a good movie seeing on how I'm a predator fan, but I strongly preferred the Predator from and the protagnoists in the first movie more, than in the second.

But! I did really like the ending scene of Predator 2 when the lost tribe suddenly appeared before Danny Glover's character and the Elder Predator gave Danny's character an old 1700's style pirate pistol.

@Topic:

Friday the 13th - Part III (1982)
A Nightmare on Elm Street - Part 3: Dream Warriors (1987)

Alien - Aliens (1986)

[Jigsaw Killer]

I'm one of the few who loves Predator 2 and more than the first. Don't get me wrong as I adore the original, but I enjoyed the sequel more for the city setting and how the Predator hunted in an urban environment. I also like the darker tone and the new weaponry, and it had great action setpiece like the slaughterhouse.

[MichaelMyers]

Well Seymore you will not like what I have to say. For I rank the Predator series in reverse chronology: Predators, Predator II, Predator.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I don't think it was suggested before, but I thought of The Omen and The Exorcist as additions to the list. Believe it or not, I've never seen a movie in either series.

[Fearonsarms]

I don't think it was suggested before, but I thought of The Omen and The Exorcist as additions to the list. Believe it or not, I've never seen a movie in either series.

The Omen-original but I like all three nearly equally.
The Exorcist 3 (there's a lot of hate for Exorcist 2-but for me Exorcist 3 is a lot scarier than the original)
Critters 2

[Gh0st]

Friday The 13th - Pt2. I dunno why, I've always thought that was best.

Halloween - H'ween 1 of course, It had that uneasy feeling about it, loved it.

A Nightmare On Elm Street - 1st or 3rd. Enjoyed them mostly.

Saw - Saw 1-3 were all good, but the 1st one for me.

Scream - Original all the way, one of my favorites of all time.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Original.

Alien - 'Aliens' was amazing and I actually prefered it over the original Alien(which was also amazing).

Predator - Strangly enough, 'Predator 2' I enjoyed more.

Phantasm - Nots seen it.

:)

Evil Dead

Hellraiser

Child's Play

Final Destination

[Jigsaw Killer]

I didn't know so many preferred Predator 2 to the original, I thought I was the only one. It's definitely underrated.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Would Tremors be a good addition? They're probably more along the lines of Comedic Sci-Fi but I think the series has a strong Horror aspect to it as well. I definitely like the first one the best in the series.

[Fearonsarms]

I didn't know so many preferred Predator 2 to the original, I thought I was the only one. It's definitely underrated.

The first one was just too campy, I felt Predator 2 was a more balanced film.

[Fearonsarms]

Would Tremors be a good addition? They're probably more along the lines of Comedic Sci-Fi but I think the series has a strong Horror aspect to it as well. I definitely like the first one the best in the series.

Hmm I think I've seen three of these-did they make more? I'd say the original was my fave of the three I've seen.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Tremors has four movies, two sequels and one prequel (the fourth one).

[Fearonsarms]

Tremors has four movies, two sequels and one prequel (the fourth one).

Ah right-I've not seen this prequel-I really didn't like the third film at all so I don't know whether I should watch it.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I thought the fourth one was alright, better than 3. I'd give it a look.

[Fearonsarms]

I thought the fourth one was alright, better than 3. I'd give it a look.

That's good to here I'll check it out cheers

[Jigsaw Killer]

I wouldn't go into it with high expectations but I will say it's definitely not a bad movie.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I don't recall if it was suggested before but I was thinking many of the old Universal and Hammer Horror movies would be a good addition as there's so many of those that could be chosen from.

[Fearonsarms]

I don't recall if it was suggested before but I was thinking many of the old Universal and Hammer Horror movies would be a good addition as there's so many of those that could be chosen from.

Now that is difficult.

Well for Hammer I would say Twins Of Evil or Plague Of The Zombies.

But when you say old universal what period exactly do you mean?The 30s?

[Jigsaw Killer]

I think the 30s-50s as a whole for Universal.

[Fearonsarms]

I think the 30s-50s as a whole for Universal.

I'd need to see a list of them to choose cos I'm not sure what movies were made by Universal. For example my fave horror of that period is "I Walked With A Zombie" which was made by RKO pictures not Universal.

[Jigsaw Killer]

There's so many to choose from from that particular era.

[Fearonsarms]

OK I've seen a list of them and there's too many to choose from. I still can't decide to pick even two. I'll have to give it more thought.

[Jigsaw Killer]

It's been ages since I last watched any, I need to see them all again, someday.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I also remembered the Stepfather series, four movies including a remake. Might be a good addition. I've only ever seen the third one.

[Fearonsarms]

I've only seen the first stepfather didn't realise there was a third or even a fourth wow-How about the Wishmaster series? The first two are pretty stellar for me :) Couldn't stand the fourth (Wishmaster falling in love it should be called as the prophecy isn't fulfilled at all) what a way to kill the series.

[JudgeU]

Friday The 13th (remake) - it's been a loooong time since I've seen the originals so I just went with the remake.

Halloween - original

A Nightmare On Elm Street - original

Saw - original

Scream - original

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - haven't seen them

Alien - one and two are equal in my mind. Both Superb.

Predator - original

Phantasm - haven't seen them

Evil Dead - army of darkness

Hellraiser - Hellraiser: Inferno, this is actually one of my favorite horrors. It's one of horrors version of a film noir (the other being Angel Heart).

Child's Play - hate all of them

Final Destination - 3

[Jigsaw Killer]

Phantasm is a great series to get into, definitely seek it out :)

[Fearonsarms]

I'll give a big up to House 3. It was the one played as straight horror without the normal humour in the other three films. And Lance Henriksen was awesome in it.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I think I've seen all of the House films but only really remember the original.

[Fearonsarms]

I think I've seen all of the House films but only really remember the original.

If you liked the first film you would definitely like the second if you wanna give it another watch. I really liked the different direction the third film took but not everyone would. The fourth film was a bit weird I can only vaguely remember it.

[paws the great]

I'll give a big up to House 3. It was the one played as straight horror without the normal humour in the other three films. And Lance Henriksen was awesome in it.

I agree, The Horror Show(1989) is a very good flick.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I think I may have seen some bits of the third and fourth movie, they seem familiar.

[Despare]

Really? Even Halloween 2?

[Jigsaw Killer]

Some very good additions I see added, didn't think of many of those.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Forgot about the Hannibal Lecter series. I've seen all but Red Dragon and Hannibal Rising, but The Silence Of The Lambs is easily my favorite of the ones I've seen.

[Fearonsarms]

Forgot about the Hannibal Lecter series. I've seen all but Red Dragon and Hannibal Rising, but The Silence Of The Lambs is easily my favorite of the ones I've seen.

I haven't seen Hannibal Rising but as much as I love The Silence Of The Lambs I'll have to say Manhunter is my fave Hannibal Lecter film.

[MichaelMyers]

Forgot about the Hannibal Lecter series. I've seen all but Red Dragon and Hannibal Rising, but The Silence Of The Lambs is easily my favorite of the ones I've seen.

I enjoyed Red Dragon more than SOTL.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I want to catch up on the rest of the Lecter films and will, someday.

[MichaelMyers]

I want to catch up on the rest of the Lecter films and will, someday.

Don't wait too long.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I'll see if I find them for rent anywhere near me, I've been curious to see them as is.

[metternich1815]

I loved the original Predator movie, but Predator 2 was my favorite also. The Universal age generally refers to films made by Universal Studios in period of the 1930s-1950s. Although the whole period of the 1930s-1940s is commonly referred to as the Universal Age (in terms of horror). Some examples of Universal films would be Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931), The Mummy (1932), The Invisible Man (1933), King Kong (1933), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), and The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954). Many of these films also have several sequels. My personal favorite is Dracula (1931), although a close second would be The Invisible Man (1933), followed by Frankenstein (1931).

[Jigsaw Killer]

Quite a few people here seem to like Predator 2, which is cool to see. That movie is definitely underrated and doesn't get the respect it deserves.

Friday The 13th - part 3 and 10

Halloween - 3 (I know, it's not part of the series, but I love it)

A Nightmare On Elm Street (one of the middle ones, can't remember)

Saw - 2, without doubt!

Scream - they all seem the same to me.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - the original is still the most disturbing horror flick I've never seen.

Alien - first one. I love the way the survivor isn't the focus, so you're not sure who's going to be the survivor.

Predator - I really liked 2. The way just a cop fights this powerful being.

Phantasm - the first was quite good.

Evil Dead - didn't care for the series. I prefer comedy and horror separate.

Hellraiser - the one where the cop finds himself in a Groundhog Day. Very good.

Child's Play - 3 is the one at the military academy? That one.

Final Destination - the last one was my fav.

Cube - 2 is GREAT.

Jaws - 2, because there's more shark!! And NOT CARTOON SHARK.

Ben Ohmart

[Fearonsarms]

I was thinking, how about best segment of a Horror anthology television series per season? Could be an interesting and fun addition.

I can never remember TV show episode titles very well but I did really enjoy The House That Bled To Death and Guardian Of The Abyss most in Hammer House Of Horror :)

[Jigsaw Killer]

I love shows like Tales From The Crypt, Tales From The Darkside, Are You Afraid Of The Dark, Masters Of Horror, etc.

[Fearonsarms]

I love shows like Tales From The Crypt, Tales From The Darkside, Are You Afraid Of The Dark, Masters Of Horror, etc.

I haven't watched Tales From The Crypt or Are You Afraid Of The Dark since I was a kid, I really want to see them again as an adult could be interesting. Never watched Tales From The Darkside but I'm sure the horror channel showed them recently so I'll keep an eye out for them.

Fave Masters Of Horror episodes-Haeckel's Tale, Cigarette Burns, Jenifer and Imprint.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Tales From The Darkside is great, that show is a fond memory I have and I find a lot of the episodes still hold up.

[horrorfangirl66]

Friday the 13th- Part II (it’s the first with a killing and burlap sack wearing Jason)

Halloween- Rob Zombie’s Halloween (nothing against the original- I’ve seen it every Halloween since I can remember, but I love Rob’s version. It’s grittier and goes more in depth)

A Nightmare on Elm Street- Love the original (One, two, Freddy's coming for you. / Three, four, better lock your door. / Five, six, grab your crucifix. / Seven, eight, gonna stay up late. / Nine, ten, never sleep again.)

Saw- original

Scream- original (very good series)

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre- The original (1974)

Alien- Aliens

Predator- original

Phantasm- I've only seen the original

Evil Dead- Evil Dead II

Hellraiser- The original

Child's Play- The original

Final Destination- the first one I guess (really don’t care for these movies though)

Segment in Anthrology-Trick r'Treat "Surprise Party" (although I absolutely LOVE the whole movie!)

I Know What You Did Last Summer- original

Paranormal Activity- original

Jaws- original

Romero's Living Dead Series- Diary of the Dead (loved the message this one sent and it was really relevant about today being so “tuned” in all the time. I like all of Romero’s films. This one just really stood out because of the different message)

Poltergeist- original

Re-Animator-original

Tremors- original

Universal (1930s-1940s)- The Wolf Man (1941)

Hammer- The Mummy (1959)

Children of the Corn- original

Amityville Horror- original (one of my favorites)

Hannibal Lecter- Silence of the Lambs

Anthrology TV Series segment- Goosebumps "Night of the Living Dummy II" (1996) (read the books and I loved the show as a kid, I can hear the theme song just thinking about it, I also watched Tales from the Crypt and Are you Afraid of the Dark?)

New edition: Psycho- the original is classic

New edition: When a Stranger Calls- the original ("Have you checked the children?").

New edition: Underworld- Rise of the Lycans

New edition: Fright Night- I really love the original. It’s in my top ten faves. Part 2 was enjoyable. The remake was pretty good, but neither of them is as good as the original. Evil Ed :-)

[Jigsaw Killer]

Good call on those additions :)

If you liked the original Phantasm then definitely give the sequels a watch, great series.

[horrorfangirl66]

Yeah thanks I have seen people discuss that quite a bit on here and I am definitely going to find them because I really did enjoy the first one. :)

[Jigsaw Killer]

I think you'd enjoy the sequels if you liked the original.

[horrorfangirl66]

I think you'd enjoy the sequels if you liked the original.

Thanks Jigsaw Killer, I watched II tonight and loved it. I am going to try to find three next. :D

[Jigsaw Killer]

Thanks Jigsaw Killer, I watched II tonight and loved it. I am going to try to find three next. :D

It's been too long since I last watched all of the seasons of some of the other anthologies like Tales From The Darkside, Fear Itself, Tales From The Cryptkeeper, etc. so I need to rewatch those to determine.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Thanks Jigsaw Killer, I watched II tonight and loved it. I am going to try to find three next. :D


It seems you got around to seeing the whole series recently, what did you think of the series as a whole?

[Jigsaw Killer]

I just realized the new Evil Dead remake is out today. Should be interesting to see if it becomes anyone's new favorite of the series.

[Dead Silence]

Final Destination

Saw.

I love watching these films too..I watched all Saw series in one go afew weeks back..1 to 7..Then did the same with Final Destination films..they make more sence then lol

[knife_fight]

Friday The 13th - Part 7. I really like the first 3, but I've watched the 7th one a million times because it was filmed near my house and they invited the whole community to come up and watch them blow up a house.

Halloween - the first one, but I do have a soft spot for part 3.

A Nightmare On Elm Street - Part 3. I think the 1st one is a superior film, but part 3 is just so much fun.

Saw - only saw the 1st one.

Scream - only saw the first one

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - the first one, but I love part 2 also.

Alien - Aliens. I love the first one, but again, this one is just so dang fun.

Predator - first one

Phantasm - the 2nd one. It was the first one I saw, so it has a nostalgic hold on me.

Evil Dead - Part 2.

Hellraiser - part 2

Child's Play - the first one

Final Destination - only saw the first one

[Jigsaw Killer]

I still haven't seen Halloween III, been meaning to. Seems like it's a good standalone Horror film.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Also forgot to mention if you liked the original Saw, Scream and Final Destination, then the sequels are definitely worth seeing.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Friday The 13th - Jason Lives


I think my new favorite is The Final Chapter. I always go back and forth on 4 and 6 as my favorite F13s, but lately I've leaned a little more towards 4.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I was thinking best segment of a Horror series in general would be a good addition, not just for anthologies. Shows like The Walking Dead, Bates Motel, Hannibal, etc.

[metternich1815]

I still haven't seen Halloween III, been meaning to. Seems like it's a good standalone Horror film.

If you still haven't seen it (I wasn't sure if you hadn't seen it from May 6th to now) I would recommend it. I didn't like that it was sort of a cheat, but if you just forget that Halloween III is in the front, then it is really good. If I was judging it by quality, it would probably be my third or fourth favorite in the series (but since it does not have Myers, then I rate it as my least favorite). I just want to note that I know most people don't like movies 4+, but I actually really liked all those movies. Of course, Halloween (1978) will always be my favorite, but still.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I haven't seen it yet but will make it a point to by October :)

[Jigsaw Killer]

Hatchet III is out now, so Hatchet is now a series that's eligible to be included here. I saw the first two and thought 2 was better than the first.

[sleepaway]

My favorites:


Friday The 13th - The Final Chapter (although I also really like The New Blood!!)

Halloween - Original (alough I also really like The Curse of Michael Myers!!)

A Nightmare On Elm Street - The Dream Master

Saw - Original

Scream - Original

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Original

Alien - Aliens (although I also really like Ressurection!!)

Predator - Predator 2 (Bill Paxton!)

Phantasm - Phantasm II

Evil Dead - Evil Dead II

Hellraiser - Hellbound

Child's Play - Original

Final Destination - Original

[realdealblues]

Friday The 13th - Part 3 in 3D

Halloween - Part 4: The Return Of Michael Myers

A Nightmare On Elm Street - Part 2: Freddy's Revenge

Saw - The first one.

Scream - The first one.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Usually it's Part 2, but sometimes Part 3 edges it out.

Alien - The first one.

Predator - The first one.

Phantasm - The first one.

Evil Dead - The first one.

Hellraiser - Hellbound: Hellraiser 2

Child's Play - Child's Play 2

Final Destination - Part 2, just for the Glass Death Scene

[Jigsaw Killer]

I love TCM3 as well, it's honestly my favorite of the original four TCM films.

[realdealblues]

I love TCM3 as well, it's honestly my favorite of the original four TCM films.

I love the zaniness of 2 and Bill Moseley, but I really love TCM3.

Alfredo kills me everytime. When Ken Foree walks up and goes "Sshh. This gun makes an awfully loud noise. And an awfully big hole" and Alfredo's expression and response of "Do I know you?" makes me about piss my pants everytime.

I just love the whole vibe of that movie. It's a shame most people don't enjoy it.

[Jigsaw Killer]

It's probably just because the film (and the other TCMs past the original) are in the shadow of the first movie which is absolutely legendary and there's just no way any film past it can live up to it in most peoples' eyes. That may be true, but seperate TCM3 from the first and it's actually really good.

[Nates Vault]

Friday The 13th - Part III

Halloween - 1978 Original

A Nightmare On Elm Street - New Nightmare

Saw - Saw

Scream - Original

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Tobe Hooper's original

Alien - Alien

Predator - Predator

Phantasm - Phantasm II

Evil Dead - Evil Dead II

Hellraiser - Original

Child's Play - Bride of Chucky (because it is sooooo funny)

Final Destination - Original

[Jigsaw Killer]

Finally, someone else who likes New Nightmare the best :)

[Jigsaw Killer]

Having seen Demons again as well as Demons 2 for the first time, maybe the Demons films are eligible for this topic? It seems after Demons 2 a bunch of unofficial sequels got made, which in turn probably doesn't make Demons eligible since it's best if we just count official entries.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Another series I remembered was Re-Animator. Only seen the first one and liked it a lot.

[Jigsaw Killer]

On the subject of anthologies, I remembered Nightmares, Body Bags and the two Trilogy Of Terror movies. I haven't seen any in so long (I've never even seen the original TOT, just the original), but I recall my favorite segments in each respective one were the Bishop Of Battle, the gas station segment in Body Bags and of course the Zuni Doll segment in TOT2.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I recently got a copy of The Exorcist from a friend and will be seeing it soon for the first time (both versions). Should I see the prequels first? I always like seeing a series in chronological order for the first time.

[metternich1815]

I recently got a copy of The Exorcist from a friend and will be seeing it soon for the first time (both versions). Should I see the prequels first? I always like seeing a series in chronological order for the first time.

The prequel The Beginning was not great, but it is worth a watch. I would say stick with the chronological viewing. I have heard The Exorcist III was good too, but,despite owning it, I have not seen it yet. I am very surprised that you have not seen that one yet, it is a classic. I will say that I do not watch it very often and am not a huge fan, but I do not deny that it is an excellent film in many ways.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I know, I often feel like an outsider for not having seen it. It has two prequels, The Beginning and Dominion, the latter of which was made first but then made again as the former when the studio wanted it to be a more mainstream Horror film.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I literally finished watching The Exorcist for the first time just now and thought it was very good. I want to see the rest of the series at some point, but I have my doubts they're on par with the original. The Heretic in particular seems much-maligned.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Back to anthologies, The ABCS Of Death sounds interesting, anyone here seen it?

[HorrorJ]

Friday The 13th - Part II

Halloween - I but II is close

A Nightmare On Elm Street - I

Saw - II because we get to "know" Jigsaw

Scream - II

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - I

Alien - I

Predator - I

Phantasm - II

Evil Dead - I

Hellraiser - Oooh, first one!

Child's Play - I

Final Destination - I

[Jigsaw Killer]

2 is close behind the original Halloween for me too, always liked how they're so close with the continuity and timeframe.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Can't believe I didn't mention the Psycho films before as far as I know. I have yet to see any of them except for the fourth, which I remember catching on TV as a kid and liking.

[metternich1815]

Can't believe I didn't mention the Psycho films before as far as I know. I have yet to see any of them except for the fourth, which I remember catching on TV as a kid and liking.

You need to see the first. It is one of the best horror movies of all time, in my opinion. One of the few films I would possibly consider perfect. The second is pretty good too. Of course, it does not compare to the first.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I'll give them all a look, sometime. I've also been watching Bates Motel on A&E, which so far has been very good.

[Jigsaw Killer]

The V/H/S discussion in my better Horror sequels thread reminded me I have yet to see either V/H/S film, I'm interested to see both and see how the segments are.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I think I forgot the Night Of The Demons films before, I believe I've only seen bits of the first and third movies.

[Sicknero]

I think I forgot the Night Of The Demons films before, I believe I've only seen bits of the first and third movies.

I didn't know there was more than one, I'll have to look out for them. I remember the first being part of a "Masters of the Macabre" film season on BBC2 when I was about 12 ... one of the things that first got me really into horror.

[Jigsaw Killer]

NOTD has two sequels and a remake.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I don't think I mentioned Wishmaster before, did I? I've seen the first two and liked them both, with the original being better.

[DrFrankensteinsGirl]

Friday The 13th- First one

Halloween- A tie between the original and the Rob Zombie remake

A Nightmare On Elm Street- the first one

Saw- the first one

Scream- the first one

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre- the first one

Alien- the first one

Predator- the first one

Phantasm- the first one

Evil Dead- Evil Dead 2

Hellraiser- the first one

Child's - the first one

Final Destination- I don't like any of them

_____________

"Enjoy that dead girl's body"

[Jigsaw Killer]

I liked Rob Zombie's Halloween remake as well. Not the best but I found it to be an interesting re-imagining of the original storyline.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Looking through I think the topic has covered just about all the notable Horror series, any I missed? I'm sure there's probably a few. Wishmaster comes to mind, seen the first two and liked both.

[realdealblues]

Somewhere I have a master list of Horror movies with 3 or more films. I think most of the important ones have been mentioned though.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I probably forgot a few of them but it looks like most of the notables have been mentioned.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I don't think I added the Poltergeist trilogy before. My opinion is controversial as I like Poltergeist II the best, though the original is also excellent. I slightly prefer the sequel as Kane is a great villain and incredibly frightening.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Having watched the Tales From The Darkside movie for the first time in many years earlier, I think my new favorite segment in it is Lover's Vow. All three of the stories in it are good, but that one in particular is the most mature and well-crafted, IMO.

[TheFext]

Friday The 13th - Jason Lives

Halloween - Original

A Nightmare On Elm Street - Original

Saw - IV

Scream - Original

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Original

[Jigsaw Killer]

The other ones you haven't seen?

[TheFext]

I've seen Evil Dead series but it was too long ago. I can't remember which is which. And I havn't seen the remake. I'm gonna go though evil dead again. I think I'm starting today :)

[Jigsaw Killer]

The remake was surprisingly good, definitely worth seeing.

[Sicknero]

The remake was surprisingly good, definitely worth seeing.

Agreed, I thought it was pretty enjoyable. Decent fx and some great moments.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I saw it in theaters when it was out too, definitely had a good time.

[Jigsaw Killer]

One series I remembered was the Slumber Party Massacre films. I recall seeing one or two back in the 90s on USA's Up All Night when they still had that.

[TheFext]

SPOILER
I saw Evil dead remake acouple of nights ago. I enjoyed it. A worthy remake indeed. I had no problem with it exept for the girl just walking away in the end with her arm cut off. Wouldn't she faint after she killed the last demon? Or die of blood loss. Whatever. it was a really good movie still.

[Jigsaw Killer]

You should probably spoiler-tag the ending for those who haven't seen the movie, yet.

[ferretchucker]

Friday The 13th - Part 2

Halloween - Original, although when served as a double bill with part 2 I like them both even more as one film.

Alien - Alien/Aliens tie, with Alien3 close behind. Always felt it was underrated.

Predator - Predator

Phantasm - Phantasm

Evil Dead - Evil Dead

Hellraiser - Hellraiser

Child's Play - Child's Play 2

Final Destination - Final Destination 2

[TheFext]

You should probably spoiler-tag the ending for those who haven't seen the movie, yet.

I don't know how I do that but this will do maybe.

But how do I do it in the future?

The ones left blank you mean the first in the series?

[TastingIntellect]

The ones left blank you mean the first in the series?

Yeah, the first ones. My bad.

[Jigsaw Killer]

No worries, I assumed you meant the originals.

[self_indulged]

I love all the old original Friday the 13ths

[Jigsaw Killer]

What about the other series listed in the original post, which is the best movie in each, in your opinion?

[Jigsaw Killer]

On the subject of anthologies, I remembered Trilogy Of Terror. I never saw the original but remember seeing the sequel years ago and liking it. The segment with the Zuni doll was definitely my favorite.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Did I mention the Monsters TV show from the early 90s for anthologies? Can't remember. I loved that show, my favorite episode was The Match Game.

[Michael Voorhees]

Friday The 13th: Jason Lives

[Jigsaw Killer]

The Phantasm and Predator films are well worth your time.

[Baron Von Marlon]

No one mentioned The Feast series yet?
I think those are pretty good.

[Horror_of_the_Unknown]

My vote goes for Phantasm series.
Too bad they cannot find a financial backer to make Phantasm 5.

[Jigsaw Killer]

No one mentioned The Feast series yet?
I think those are pretty good.


Been meaning to see those, I've yet to.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I was thinking back to TV shows the various incarnations of The Twilight Zone and Outer Limits. Granted both are more Sci-Fi than straight-up Horror but they have plenty of Horror-oriented stories, too.

[dblockdedicated]

The Descent.

[Jigsaw Killer]

What about the other series listed?

[thietkelogo]

I like the Hellraiser

[coolseraz]

Friday The 13th : Part 2

Halloween : Part 1

A Nightmare On Elm Street : Part 1

Saw : Part 1

Scream : Part 1

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre : Part 1

Alien : Aliens

Predator : Part 1

Phantasm : Part 1

Evil Dead: Part 2

Hellraiser: Not seen any sadly.

Child's Play: Part 1

Final Destination: Part 1

[Jigsaw Killer]

I've seen up to the first six Hellraisers. The original is very much worth your time.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I got back from Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones earlier and found it surprisingly good and one of the stronger entries in the series, but I still think the original is the best. I think 2 and TMO are neck and neck for best sequel, though.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I don't think the Pumpkinhead series got a mention before here. I've seen the first two and the original is among my favorite Horror films, while the second is pretty good.

[Fearonsarms]

I've seen up to the first six Hellraisers. The original is very much worth your time.

You should definitely check out Hellraiser part 7 Deader I enjoyed hat much more than parts 5 and 6.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I'll check them all out someday, I'm a completist when it comes to any series and always have to watch every entry anyway, I'll finish up Hellraiser at some point.

[Fearonsarms]

I have to warn you that Hellraiser: Hellworld and Hellraiser: Revelations were the weakest of that franchise IMO but I hope you enjoy Deader.

[Yogobro298]

You should definitely check out Hellraiser part 7 Deader I enjoyed hat much more than parts 5 and 6.

I tried to get into the HellRaiser series,but it seems right after the 2nd one they just continued to make just for the revenue.

[Yogobro298]

Also if you guys like SAW try Panic Button I liked it alot

[Jigsaw Killer]

Never heard of Panic Button.

[Fearonsarms]

Never heard of Panic Button.

Neither have I but here's the trailer the end of which has echoes of Saw:-

The acting looks a bit dodgy but it may be worth checking out.

Looks interesting, I'll definitely give it a look.

[Yogobro298]

Another Predator 2 fan :D

Decided to pick up the SAW collection,man I've been missing out!!SAW is great the 1st is just amazing im on the 2nd one now and its amazing how Jigsaw always out wits everyone he's just amazing!! But I was disappointed they didn't continue from the end of the first one

[Yogobro298]

Looks interesting, I'll definitely give it a look.

You should...I thought it waspretty good up there with SAW,take a look at it whenever you can and I want to see what you think

[Jigsaw Killer]

Saw II does pick up from the first actually, it's set months after.

[Baron Von Marlon]

Another Predator 2 fan :D

And another one here.
The cast, the characters, the locations, the action, the story,...
Solid movie.
I love those late eighties, early nineties action/horror flicks.
Most of them have a perfect amount of action, blood, profanity and nudity.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I always liked the urban setting of Predator 2 and the new Predator weapons and tech, and the Predator in it is my favorite on of the series. Plus it's got so many great setpieces like the subway and slaughterhouse.

[Jigsaw Killer]

On the Puppet Master series, I've seen them up to Retro. I liked all of the first five but I found Curse and Retro terrible. Are the ones after any better?

[Fearonsarms]

On the Puppet Master series, I've seen them up to Retro. I liked all of the first five but I found Curse and Retro terrible. Are the ones after any better?

I've seen Puppetmaster:Axis Of Evil and it was terrible I didn't like it. There wasn't much puppet action.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I've heard pretty much universally negative things about it.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I may have mentioned it before a few pages back, but another anthology film I remembered was Body Bags. I haven't seen it in years but remember liking The Gas Station segment a lot in it. Really need to see it again, Scream Factory recently released it on Blu-ray and I've been meaning to buy it.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I also remembered the Ringu/Ring films. I haven't seen any of them, though I've been curious about them.

[Fearonsarms]

Yeah I liked The Gas Station segment but also liked The "Eye" segment. I wasn't too keen on the Hair segment.

I also remembered the Ringu/Ring films. I haven't seen any of them, though I've been curious about them.

You should definitely watch Ringu and Ringu 2 I love them, to me they are amazing. Ringu 0-the prequel-I didn't like, besides the ending but it wasn't good enough to save the film it's mostly quite boring.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I'll give the Ring/Ringu films a look at some point, I've been curious about them.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I remembered The Howling films. I've never seen the original but have seen the third, fourth, fifth and seventh films. 3 was pretty bad but amusing in an MST3K way, 5 wasn't too bad and I remember 4 and 7 being horrible, especially 7.

[Jigsaw Killer]

There's also The Fly films, consisting of the original three as well as the 80s remake and it's sequel. I definitely prefer the remake and find it's sequel underrated as well, both have great creature designs and effects.

[Jigsaw Killer]

This one might be a stretch, but another series I remembered is The Mummy (the 90s version). The first one is pretty much an Action/Horror hybrid with more of an emphasis on the former but quite a bit of the latter is still present. The two sequels are pretty much all-out Action with very little of the Horror aspect remaining.

I definitely liked the original Mummy the best, still a movie I always really enjoy. The two sequels were enjoyable in their own way but the original was the strongest.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Another I remembered is Warlock. I've seen the first two and both were good, never saw the third but the absence of Julian Sands in the title role deterred me.

Love the original and remake equally been a long time since I've seen the sequals I'd have to rewatch them.

I agree with you the first was the best but I prefer the 1932 version.

The first is my favourite, the second was ok, the third was bad.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I remember liking the first Warlock more, but the second was pretty good from my memory. The Warlock in the second one I remember is much more destructive.

It's been many years since I saw the second one I remember not enjoying it as much as the first. But maybe I'll give it another watch.

[Jigsaw Killer]

It's been so many years since I last watched them, definitely a series due for a re-visit.

[zombiekilling]

Very surprised not to see the Omen's Series on here. Man was that scary watching when I was growing up.

The Omen was my favorite on that.

As far as the other movie series you talked about.

Friday The 13th - the first one

Halloween - the first one

A Nightmare On Elm Street - the third one

Saw - the first one

Scream - the first one

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - the first one

Alien - the second one

Predator - the first one

Phantasm - the second one

Evil Dead - Army of Darkness is by far the best in the series.

Hellraiser - the first one

Child's Play - the first one

Final Destination - honestly liked them all about the same

[Jigsaw Killer]

I forgot about The Omen before, add it if you'd like. I have yet to see any of them, but I will eventually, I've been meaning to give them a look.

It's up to you if you would like to add it to the list. Make sure those to watch the movies from the late 70's and early 80's as there was a remake in 2006 which is not nearly as good lol.

It's a dam good series am sure you will enjoy.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I'll definitely seek them out eventually, I've been wanting to see them as is.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Did I mention the Amityville movies before? Not sure if I did. I've seen the original, remake and It's About Time, not the rest though I remember seeing bits of the second film and the Dollhouse one.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I don't think I mentioned the Ginger Snaps movies before. I've only seen the first and liked it a lot from my memory.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I don't remember if I mentioned Sleepaway Camp before. I've seen the first three, I remember the first being so-so and wasn't big on 2 and 3. But I'll give the series another go, someday.

The second one is my fave and I think the third is underrated and well worth a watch. Four and five are dreadful especially five which is a chore to watch and has nothing to do with the other Amityvilles. It's been a long time since I've seen the others so will give them a re-watch. I hated the remake though.

Only seen the first I will have to check out the sequels.

The first is my fave. The others I found watchable but unremarkable.

[Jigsaw Killer]

The Amityville series seems like it's of vastly varying quality over the course of the films. One day I'll give them all a fair shake, as I do with everything.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I remembered From Dusk Till Dawn. Only seen the original, which is still an awesome movie. Never seen the sequels, which seem to not be very well-received.

Friday The 13th: The final chapter

Halloween: the original but 3 gets an honorable mention

A Nightmare On Elm Street: the original

Saw: the original

Scream: this is tough so im just going to say I like the first two equally.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: original

Alien: Aliens

Predator: the first one, but 2 is severely underrated.

Phantasm 2

Evil Dead: 2

Hellraiser: the original but hellbound is a very close second.

Child's Play 2

Final Destination (original)

Amityville 2 the possession

Demons: I love both movies equally.

The three mothers trilogy: Suspiria

[Jigsaw Killer]

I agree that Predator 2 is severely underrated. I was surprised to see the hate for it when I first used the internet.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Another series I remembered (and probably quite obscure) is Mirror, Mirror. I only recall seeing the second film, Raven Dance, which aired quite a lot on Showtime back in the mid-90s. Seems like a series not many people are even aware of let alone have seen.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I also remembered The Stepfather films, only seen the third and parts of the first one. Not really seen enough to form an opinion.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I don't know how many here know of them, but I remembered the Xtro trilogy. Only seen the first one which was quite possibly the weirdest movie ever. Never saw the sequels which are completely unrelated despite having the same director.

[totem]

Xtro - OMG; haven't seen that since high school (also only saw the first one)

[Jigsaw Killer]

I've only seen the original, too. Such a bizarre film, even the director has admitted he doesn't know what to make of it.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Oh, and welcome to the board, Totem :) What's your favorite film of each of the listed series in the original post?

[totem]

Oh, and welcome to the board, Totem :)

Thank you, it's good to be here. ::smile::

What's your favorite film of each of the listed series in the original post?

Friday The 13th: Part VI - Jason Lives [1986], but more for personal reasons.

Halloween: Definitely the first one.

A Nightmare On Elm Street: First one - even though Heather Langenkamp (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000486/?ref_=tt_cl_t3) & Ronee Blakley (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0086867/?ref_=tt_cl_t2) spend the entire film competing for biggest over-actor.

Saw: First one.

Scream: Tie between first & second and that's a rare thing.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The original. I was pretty young, so the defiling I look back fondly on was massive.

Alien: First one hands down - even though I love Aliens [1986]

Predator: Rodriguez's Predators [2010] took the lead from the original - but not by much.

Phantasm: First one - love the graveyard love-making scene.

Evil Dead: First one. Also pretty young when I first saw.

Hellraiser: First one.

The Omen: First one. This series best represents what you get when you drain the life out of a great idea. I mean, what was Omen IV even trying to do?

Final Destination: Third one - like Jason Lives - more for personal rather than cinematic reasons.


Thanks again for the welcome. ::cool::

[Jigsaw Killer]

Sure thing, enjoy your stay here :)

[ABjerg]

Friday The 13th - VI - Jason Lives.

Halloween - The original

A Nightmare On Elm Street - The original obviously, but loved the last one too by Wes.

Saw - Second I think, but first is a classic.

Scream - Second one.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The original

Alien - Aliens

Predator - First one, although Rodriguez did a good job with Predators imo.

Phantasm - Never heard of them.

Evil Dead - The second one.

Hellraiser - Have yet to watch these (at least the first one).

Child's Play - The original.

Final Destination - First one.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Phantasm's an amazing series, see them all when you can.

[Jigsaw Killer]

The Omen: First one. This series best represents what you get when you drain the life out of a great idea. I mean, what was Omen IV even trying to do?


I'm still behind on that series. I've only seen bits of the fourth.

[Fearonsarms]

I don't know how many here know of them, but I remembered the Xtro trilogy. Only seen the first one which was quite possibly the weirdest movie ever. Never saw the sequels which are completely unrelated despite having the same director.

I've seen all three. The first is my favourite, the second is worth watching but I wasn't keen on the third.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I'll give them all a look, sometime. They seem somewhat hard to find.

[Jigsaw Killer]

Thanks again for the welcome. ::cool::


Forgot to say it before, but anytime :)

[Jigsaw Killer]

I remembered Lucio Fulci's Zombie spawned quite a few rip-off sequels in Italy, IIRC. I've never seen any of them but they all seem to be of a pretty low quality and their numbering is also confusing since Zombie in Italy was marketed as a sequel to Dawn Of The Dead when it was never intended to be as such and thus Zombie 2 is known as Zombie 3.

[Jigsaw Killer]

[Jigsaw Killer]

I remembered The Lost Boys trilogy. I've only seen the original which is still a great movie, never saw the two sequels which from what I've seen are both pretty poorly received.

[Jigsaw Killer]

I may have mentioned it before a few pages back, but another anthology film I remembered was Body Bags. I haven't seen it in years but remember liking The Gas Station segment a lot in it. Really need to see it again, Scream Factory recently released it on Blu-ray and I've been meaning to buy it.


I recently watched this for the first time in many years, still quite an entertaining little anthology. The Gas Station was the best segment, but the other two were also entertaining.

Romero's Living Dead - Day Of The Dead (1985)
::wink::

[Jigsaw Killer]

I know Poltergeist II is unpopular. The first one is great, but I always enjoyed 2 more mainly for Kane and I also like the hauntings in the second one better.

[Jigsaw Killer]

It might be a stretch but thinking it over, I was wondering if Godzilla might be a good addition. It's been so long since I last watched the older Godzilla films but the recent one was pretty decent and a not a bad reboot.
