Favorite Horror Film Series - Blu-ray Forum

diskspinner · 10-02-2013, 01:37 AM

Halloween month has started. How about a poll on favorite Horror film series...I am excluding Alien, Jaws, Hannibal, Psycho which are probably a little more than horror movies.

Friday 13th here

Who the hell leaves A Nightmare on Elm street off a poll of favorite horror franchises!?

crow2k5 · 10-02-2013, 01:47 AM

I know right... but Friday the 13th is my fave

Me...Sorry, I intended to include it but missed while filling up...

Had to go with Friday, but Halloween is the best individual film IMO.

penningtonny10 · 10-02-2013, 01:52 AM

Romero's Dead series! That even includes the new ones

toodeepuntilnow · 10-02-2013, 01:53 AM

When I started thinking about the horror franchises listed, F13, Halloween, Child's Play, TCM, and a few others, ANOES, Hellraiser, even Candyman, etc., it dawned on me that I don't think I legitimately like more than 50% of any of the entries in any of these movie franchises.

These are some of my favorite movies and I watch them all but that's not a good ratio. I'd go with F13 just because their mediocre is still pretty bearable, I just can't get through Goes to Hell, but the bad in some of the other is really a test of virtue sometimes to sit through for several movies.

Sorry if that came across dick-ish... I was just shocked is all.

Friday the 13th

Of those listed, Halloween is my favorite. But I have more fun watching several of the Phantasm and It's Alive films.

Amen!

I've never really cared for any horror franchise as that. I generally like the first 2-3 movies in a franchise and usually after that the overall story goes downhill.

When it comes to a great horror movie that was turned into a franchise, its a tie between A Nightmare on Elm Street and Hellraiser for an awesome movie that will always stand the test of time.

jvorhees · 10-02-2013, 02:02 AM

Gotta mention the Leprechaun series.....if you like that kind of thing.

Young Jennifer Aniston is great in the first one

Evil Dead trilogy. Hail to the king, baby!

JB1986 · 10-02-2013, 02:15 AM

A Nightmare On Elm Street! Friday The 13th is a close second, followed extremely closely by The Evil Dead.

HyperRealist · 10-02-2013, 02:17 AM

Phantasm

The Great Owl · 10-02-2013, 02:28 AM

Final Destination for the win. Especially the highway scene in the second film. The bus scene from the first movie still gets me as well.

I love the first Halloween film and the first two Friday the 13th films more than I love any single Final Destination movie, but Final Destination wins when it comes to a series as a whole. I enjoy how the Final Destination movies keep things interesting while adhering to a formula that works.

The Final Destination movies have such a great message. Be nice to other people, and enjoy life, because you never know when some random hazard is going to take you down.

Personally I like the psycho series (minus the remake)
