When you look at it, a lot of franchises are not as consistently great as we often imagine.

Halloween? Yeah, it has one of the greatest films ever in its roster, and a few good sequels, and I for one don't mind the Zombieween remakes, but there is a lot of actual garbage in there.

Friday the 13th on the other hand, I agree is a better franchise. My favorite is Final Chapter, and yeah that's nowhere near Halloween 1, but I like or love all the films (except Jason Goes To Hell, I really can't get behind that one, unfortunately), to the point where I quote one of them in my signature here!

Nightmare though is consistently solid, I can say all of them except Freddy's Dead I at least enjoy.

Really, Texas Chainsaw is underrated as a franchise. You have to start it off one of the greatest films ever, and the other ones are at least effective at being hilarious. And Matthew McConnaughey!

Chucky is a franchise I have no tolerance for. I don't find dolls/clowns scary, like at all (it's for that reason that I really don't care for Stephen King's It either). To the point where I find the fact that they are so generally feared to be bizarre. And so they fail in that way for me, and the more comedic installments just hit me the wrong way. So I really dislike the Child's Play franchise. I should note, however, that Puppet Master is an extremely badass franchise and I love those things.

But yeah, I'm sticking with PHANTASM for GOAT horror franchise.
Really the only Halloween sequels that consistent get a bad rap are 5 and Resurrection. Outside of those are some pretty solid sequels that at least try to add something to the storyline.

Friday has some solid sequels as well, but I think 5, 8, and everything outside of the paramount films are really bad.

Just my 2 cents.
