OTish - Best Film In a Horror Series

Haven't seen half of the movies on that list but Im pretty sure youre in wrong forum. This ain't that type of movie!

Mine are...


Friday the 13th part 6: Jason Lives

Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers (I do love the originAl equally)

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors (Again, The original is on par)

Saw (Not a fan of these so I can't say)

Scream

Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn (1 and Army of Darkness are also great)

Phantasm (Not a huge fan)

Alien (and Aliens, with the Assembly Cut of 3 as a close second)

Predator

Hellraiser (I count Hellraiser II as a proper continuation of the first)

Childs Play

The Texts Chainsaw Massacre (Not a huge fan)

Final Destination (Fun movies, but again, I'm not a big fan)

Insidious

The Conjuring

The Purge (Not a fan)

Paranormal Activity (The most dire movie I've ever seen)




I love horror movies with a passion, but I find a good horror novel is more effective. For me a book stays in the psyche a lot longer, that's why I love IT. Possibly the most a story has ever stayed with me, and I keep going back to it year after year.



Also, before anyone else says it, this isn't a remake of the 1900 mini series. It is a completely new adaption of the novel. :)

Fear Itself - Something With Bite

Bold choice picking Predator 2.

From the ones you listed, I gotta say the first Scream movie, Tremors and Part 2 of Evil Dead. Maybe because those flicks all have a great sense of humour about them. On that note, I also LOVED "Tucker and Dale VS Evil". Although one might argue that it doesn't qualify as horror at all, but then does Tremors?

In my opinion, the best horror film ever made was the original Poltergeist. The film was scary as heck, without being exceedingly bloody.

I intend to live forever.
So far, so good.

What do you think is the best installment of the series listed in the original post?

The recent Blair Witch movie was okay, nothing special. Not seen the second film but between this and the original I probably enjoyed this one slightly more.
