Best Movie In a Horror Series

Evil Dead- Army of Darkness

Usually the original, I'm not sure how anyone can prefer the 2003 TCM over the original, which in my mind is probably one of the finest horror movies ever made. Although I did like the sequel with its dark humour.

I'd say Alien and Aliens are on par with each other, as with the first two evil dead films.

Friday The 13th- Friday the 13th Part 3- 3D
Halloween- Halloween 1978
A Nightmare On Elm Street- A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984
Saw- Saw
Scream- Scream 4
Alien- Aliens (one of my favorite movies of all time
Predator- Predator (although Predators was very good as well)
Phantasm- As a horror fan I have yet to see these movies even though I own them
Evil Dead- Army of Darkness is also one of my favorite movies of all time but Evil Dead 1 and 2 are amazing and the remake is very cool as well especially the credits scene
Final Destination- Final Destination
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre- Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part III with the hilarious Ken Foree
Hellraiser- Hellraiser: Hellseeker with the Mayhem guy from the All State commercials
Child's Play- Child's Play

I would like to add Psycho to the list because it has some great sequels. Psycho 2 is incredibly underrated and Psycho 3 was directed by Anthony Perkins himself, and shows shades of Hitchcock and Jeff Fahey is pretty funny in it. Part IV was meh but at least Tony Perkins played Norman Bates, well the current times Norman, not flashback.

Haven't seen all the movies of most of the series.

Friday the 13th - Freddy vs. Jason
The Nightmare on Elm Street - Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Halloween - 1978 Halloween
Texas Chainsaw Massacre - 2003 Remake
Child's Play - Original
Final Destination - Final Destination 3

•Halloween

The original. It's the perfect horror movie. The soundtrack to that film will forever be associated with halloween and all things scary.



•Nightmare on Elm


As a kid I could never get into these so I cant honestly say which i like best. I recently bought them on dvd only to have my brother borrow them and never return them.



• Saw

I'll say the original because it was so fresh. Every other movie that came after it was just an attempt to duplicate the originality of the first.


• Scream

Again I'll say the first. I remember the first one because it kinda knocked on other horror movies all the while being a weak horror movie itself.


• Alien

This is a franchise I havnt seen. I'd like to because of promethius though.


• Predator

The one with Arnold was the best simply because of this line....

"I aint got time to bleed"

I loved predators though.


• Phantasm

I've never seen them. I think I have one around here somewhere but the wife hates horror so it's rare that I watch a film.


• Evil Dead

Evil Dead 2. I like it best because we see evil ash in that one. And the love of his girlfriend brings him back to humanity.


• Final Destination

These are all pretty good IMO so I cant pick one.


• Texas Chain Saw

This is tough to pick one. The first film made me sick to watch, my stomach would hurt from being so scared/disgusted, so maybe that should be the best? But I loved the second one as well, seeing leather face with a cadaver on top of a pick up as he saws those guys while blasting no onw lives forever.... classic. And then the ones with my guy R Lee Emmery. And that last one was fantastic too.


• Hellraiser

I could never get into this franchise.


•Childs Play

Chris Sarandon, nuff said.



And last......


• Friday the 13th

This is tough but im going to pick part 3. The 3d one. It is the movie where we see how Jason got his famous hockey mask. Jason actually runs to kill someone instead of the usual walking. AND the theme song, HOT Ice by Harry Manfredini is fantastic, its a shame it isnt that popular.

Friday The 13th: Part 4 The "Final" Chapter. Such a good film and when the camper is screaming "he's killing me", gives me goose bumps.
Halloween: The first is the greatest of them all. But I'll but #4 right behind it.
A Nightmare On Elm Street: These movies don't hold up but I like "Dream Warriors".
Saw: The first one. I didn't care for any of the others.
Scream: Number #1. It was refreshing to see a movie like this. The others were lame.
Alien: Aliens. GAME OVER MAN!!!!
Predator: #2. Danny Glover kicks ass and Gary Busey made the film.
Phantasm: #1 I still get very creeped out when I enter a room that has a full length mirror on the door!
Evil Dead: Army of Darkness the original one with the real ending. Such a great film.
Final Destination: the first one. The others were good but the first is the best.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The second. Chop Top, Stretch, Dennis Hopper, nothing bad at all with this film.
Hellraiser: The first one. "Then Jesus wept." such a great line and was improv.
Child's Play: lol I like the second one for the older foster girl. She was hot.

I'll throw in Leprechaun. I like the 4th one in space. Very under rated series. The "hood" ones sucked major balls and I have no hope for the horngobbler one.

Also Wishmaster: The first was awesome. Gotta love Andrew Divoff. He was great in the second as well, but forget the rest since he isn't in them.

I love you! Very few people give that movie the props it deserves. Best horror cast ever! It's the most quotable, creatively gory and hands down entertaining of all the Friday films! It's definitely my favorite of the franchise.

I think the "best" films in a series are always the 1st ones. I can't think of a sequel that's legitimately a better film. Maybe Dawn of the Dead(original), the 2nd and 3rd Leprechaun films are more entertaining. The second Evil Dead comes close. Puppet Master III? Ghoulies II? Those are probably on par with the 1st. Certainly Aliens and Bride of Frankenstein are damn close too, but I find the 1st entries to be a little bit superior.
