I've heard the sequel is very different from the original and not shot in found footage, so I know not to expect a similar movie.

The first Indiana Jones movie was best: Raiders Of The Lost Ark. But the others were great too!

I'm a big Indy fan as well, though the series isn't Horror. The closest it got to that was Temple Of Doom.

Did I mention Trilogy Of Terror before? think I did. I've seen the sequel but never the original.

I didn't even recall there was a sequel to Trilogy of Terror. There's the only one segment/short to see, the 3rd story... scared the hell out of the women in 1975, giving them nightmares for weeks, the great Amelia

I wasn't born yet when the original was made but remember when the sequel debuted on the USA Network back in 1996 just before Halloween.

Saw - Saw II

Scream - Original

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - 2003 Remake

Alien - Aliens

Predator - Predator 2

Phantasm - Phantasm II

Evil Dead - Evil Dead II

Those all for you?

So what did you think of Trilogy of Terror: Amelia (3rd segment)?

Haven't had a chance to watch it yet but aim to very soon. When people talk about TOT that's the one segment that's still remembered today.

Could Jurassic Park be considered partially Horror? If it counts and can be added to this, the original is hands down the best by a landslide. I have always sort of considered the series a bit of a hybrid of Natural Horror and Techno-Thriller. I'd wager the last two films definitely play up on the Horror aspect much more whereas the original two movies have a more majestic quality to them though they don't skimp on the intensity when it comes to the dinosaur attacks.

Off-topic but nice to see Brainscan get some love. Always liked that movie a lot.

*Just updating my list, don't mind me.*


Halloween
- ...Can I just tie 1 through 5 (excluding 3 of course). I also really really enjoy Resurrection.

Friday the 13th
- I through III (can't really pick just one of these). Really enjoyed Jason Takes Manhattan too.

Hellraiser
- First one, easy! ...or is it. I really like 2 and 3 too... And Hellworld.

Child's Play
- Bride of Chucky. My sister's more into the Chucky films and the reason I watched any of them. 'Bride of Chucky' I enjoyed most cause of Tiffany.

Howling
- First and Original Nightmare. Cause I + IV = book

Tremors
- First. Second wasn't too bad. Third I can't even take seriously but it was better than four and HELLA better than five.

Scream
- First. Although I enjoyed all of them, as Sidney herself said in the 4th movie, "Don't fuck with the original." And I just LOVED the cast in the first.

Jaws
- First one, although I would put the second right after it if not tied with it. I prefer to pretend the rest of the sequels don't exist.

Alien
- Aliens (I confess I haven't seen 3 or the rest of the sequels... if I have I don't remember them, I think I saw AVP once but idk... but Aliens was so hella good I can't imagine any of the sequels being better.)

Psycho
- It's been a while since I've watched the sequels, but I do remember none of them wowed me like the first. So I'm going with the original on this one.

Puppet Master
- Another I haven't seen all of and that my memory of the sequels of are a touch fuzzy... but probably Toulon's Revenge because, again, it left the best impact.

Joy Ride
- First one. Rusty Nail is an under rated slasher that they only insulted with the sequels. ...Or at least the third one.

I Know What You Did Last Summer
- I enjoyed the first two about equally well... but for originality I'm probably going to have to go with the first. I haven't seen the third but it doesn't have any of the original cast so...

Hannibal Lecter series
- I loved the book Red Dragon, but have yet to actually see any of the movies for it or the prequel, Hannibal Rising (read the book for that one too, did not enjoy as much as Red Dragon but it was still a good read). SotL was enjoyable. Anthony Hopkins as Hanni could not have been more perfect. And the sequel Hannibal I did not hate it as much as most seem too. I actually enjoyed it a lot if not more than SotL.

Children of the Corn
- Saw the first one I believe... I hated it so I have no intention of watching the sequels.

Classic Movie Monsters
- Wolfman (first one and remake)
- Frankenstein (Meets Wolfman)
- Dracula (first one)
- Invisible Man (first one, but Invisible Woman was just as excellent on a more lighthearted scale)
- Cross overs (Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein)
*wasn't big on Mummy and don't remember Creature from Black Lagoon Sequels well enough to judge*

Waldemar Daninsky series
- This one is tough. Werewolf vs. the Vampire Women is probably his most well known, but I honestly don't find it as memorable as some of his others, although I do enjoy the movie. Frankenstein's Bloody Terror and The Werewolf and the Yeti are my favorites. The Fury of the Wolfman is probably close third with Vampire Women. These movies are hard to find, but I've seen most to put my thoughts on my favorites down.

Evil Dead
- First one. The sequels were fine too, but the first can stand alone as a horror without as much silliness, the ending is less of a cliff hanger than the second (and kinda the third although mostly I just wasn't satisfied with the ending of that one either... DAMMIT, ASH YOU HAVE A FUCKING CHAINSAW FOR A HAND, USE IT!!), and there was just less that had me scratching my head. In the beginning of the second AND third they changed the endings of the movies before them. I don't understand why and it was very distracting.


Series to add (what I've seen of them):
- Paranormal Activity (none)
- Nightmare on Elm Street (first and a few sequels)
- Final Destination (none)
- Poltergeist (first)
- Exorcist (first)
- Predator (first?)
- Phantasm (none, idk what this even is)
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (first)
- Saw??
- Re-animator (THERE ARE SEQUELS?!)
- Gremlins (first)
- Critters (none)
- Amityville Horror (first and a horrible sequel)
- The Omen (first two)
- Gingersnaps (first and maybe two of the sequels that need rewatched)

Can I micro-comment my petty opinions on your picks? Cool!
Not really, no. Org is subtlety genius.
Yep, 3.


You are totally insane
Yep, they're both great. Alien is a slow feast of elegant subtlety. Alien 3 is interesting, but not very good. Alien Resurrection you would love. It's pretty cool.
Yep, Psycho wowed. Two was a bit of a dark parody. Apples/crackers.

Me too, love Red Dragon! SOTL was rich.
LOL! COTC was wrenched, but my sister and I had years of fun mocking it.
Evil Dead II - must see. You have no idea...

Speaking of Re-animater... From Beyond is kinda a sequel, same team, totally different story. I think it's your type of movie.

Hells' yeah

Shame it wasn't more successful back then. Wonder if it was supposed to kickstart a series but it just never came to be?

Guess I've no choice.

I've really only seen most of the Halloween films once, and just remember enjoying the story line that went on from the first movie. I need to revisit these though as it was years ago...

I love Jason so much, there's not really a movie with him actually in it I don't enjoy.

My sanity has to do with nothing. Jaws 2 was awesome.

I want to watch the rest of the sequels to validate my opinion, but I have not heard good things about them so I am hesitant...

I remember enjoying Psycho 2, and I think I did 3 as well, but I hardly remember them... So there's really no contest for the best.

Hmm maybe I should revisit some COTC for review purposes... I'm not beyond watching a terrible movie for a few laughs.


That's why Evil Dead series is on my list, I really loved the first one, like ridiculously so.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for your input, Sculpt!

You so got to see Evil Dead II. A much crazier version of the original.

Seeing The Rings trailer last night when I went to see Don't Breathe reminded me how I've yet to see a single Ringu/Ring film.

That one was actually the third, Dream Child was the fifth one.

my bad but still dream warriors

No worries. Dream Warriors is a great choice for the best for sure.

Blair Witch is now eligible with the third movie out. Not seen Blair Witch 2 but I've seen the original, I think it's meh. I'll give the new one a look.

I'm going to throw a Halloween 3 a bone here as its exactly what the Halloween series should've been, a stand alone story.
A new one could've been done every couple of years, no repeat characters or any of that usual shit where you have an indestructible supervillian who hacks the crap out of a long line high schoolers.

Halloween III is a fine movie on it's own merits and should've been a stand-alone release and the beginning of a brand new Halloween-themed movie series.

The 2nd one is different from the first. It uses the story, but not the style. Its a decent flic if I remember right. Just do not watch it expecting documentary style.

I've heard that. It seems the new one went back to the found footage style of the original.

blair witch 2 is a passable movie for what it is, a bloodn guts horror, but should never have been given the BW title, it was for marketing and trying to use the name to gather viewers.i personally dont like the original.

I find the original to be an average and unremarkable film that's remember more for it's hype and advertising. I like the actual lore and legend of the Blair Witch but the movie doesn't really cut the mustard for me.

Can't remember if I mentioned The Fly before. My favorite of those is actually The Fly II. Recently watched both the Cronenberg remake and it's sequel for the first time in years and forgot how good both are. Cronenberg's movie is excellent but I find the second more entertaining with an even cooler monster.

Friday The 13th - Part seven, good concept and I think Kane Hodder really brought Jason to a new level of villian. although I also really enjoyed parts 6,8,9,and Jason X.

Halloween - didn't care much for the first three of them. I like part 6 the best, and H20, and yes I'll admit it... I really enjoyed resurrection

A Nightmare On Elm Street - Part four I think. Although Dream Warriors could be a tie.

Saw - All of them, but part three is probably the best.

Scream - Part four, new story new villian, didn't see it coming.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre three, and I really loved Texas Chainsaw

Alien - part three, unless Alien vs. Preadator counts, if so then that one.

Predator - Predators

Phantasm - part three

Evil Dead - part two

Hellraiser - part three and Hellworld

Child's Play - part two, and Bride of Chucky.

Final Destination - All of them


And ones I added myself:

Wishmaster - Part one

Hatchet - All three of them

Ginger Snaps - part one (all are great though)

Jeepers Creepers - part two

Paranormal Activity - The Ghost Dimension, but part two was great too. The Marked ones sucked.

And I'd like to add Trick 'r Treat to this list, but there's one one for now.

Good additions but some of those aren't three movies or more, yet.

With anthologies I remembered the Goosebumps TV show. It was hit and miss, and many of the later episodes were especially lame and goofy, but in the first couple of seasons there were a fair number of good episodes. IMO the best is The Werewolf Of Fever Swamp which was actually rather scary and intense by the usual standards of the show, which is saying a lot considering how silly it got later on.

i used to love watching Goosebumps when i was younger ^_^

Friday The 13th Part VI - Jason Lives

Halloween (2007)

A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)

Saw

Scream

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

Aliens

Predator

Phantasm

Army of Darkness

Hellraiser

Child's Play

Final Destination

Me too. Some of the earlier episodes are genuinely pretty good before the show got too goofy later on.

Added this tidbit to my list since I finally got in the sequels. Working on the series now but since that's not a movie I won't post it here.

I saw Ash Vs. Evil Dead season 1 and loved it, definitely want to see season 2.

The trailer for the new upcoming Resident Evil movie reminded me how behind I am on the films. I saw the first two and didn't much like either, hated how they deviated so much from the games. Never bothered with the subsequent movies.

Bringing this back.
