Overall, I'd say Nightmare has the worst crop of sequels - everything aside from the original, Dream Warriors and New Nightmare range from mediocre to god-awful.
Only seen the 1st two TCM entries - loved 'em both.
Halloween has some stinkers for sure...it wasn't even that long ago that I watched them, but I can hardly differentiate at all between 4 through 7. I remember the only one that was flat out terrible was Resurrection, but none of the rest - other than the first 3 - left much impression either way.
I'd say Friday the 13th holds up best overall. It doesn't peak as high as the others, but barring Jason Lives + New Blood they're all watchable and entertaining. Nothing groundbreaking, but I enjoyed the series as a whole far more than the others. Part III is still one of my all-time favourite slashers.
