I remembered The Blob films. I've seen the 1958 original and the 1988 remake, and yet to see the sequel to the 1958 version (Son Of Blob, I think?). The remake is easily superior in every way and is among my favorite Horror films ever.

Son of Blob was kinda crappy compared to the original, and I agree; I love the remake.

The remake for me is surpassed only by John Carpenter's The Thing as the best remake ever. It's a shame it never got a sequel, given the ending. I guess the poor box office performance destroyed any chance of that.

I also remembered Mimic, which I think has two sequels? I only saw the first and remember it being quite good.

There is a 3rd filmed in Vegas - very gory, but lacking the Euro vibe. That's why I mentioned a pt4.

I really liked pt1 - girls, weed, and gore ... what more could one want?

Is it not obvious who the alien is? :P

If you're referring to E.T., then yeah :halloween:

No :)

It's obvious that one of them isn't breathing.

Oh, I thought you may have been since E.T. came out shortly before The Thing did in 1982, which severely hurt the latter's box office.

I was talking about the end of the movie.

The film leaves it quite vague.

^

All the times I've seen that film and never noticed. I'll have to look for that next time.

I remembered the Trancers films, I think I saw one or two of them when I was little, been years though.

It's been a long time since I last watched either and never saw the extended cut of the first. Maybe I'll give them another try, sometime.

Friday The 13th - original, but 2 is very close runner up

Halloween - same as FT13

A Nightmare On Elm Street - original for sure

Saw - original

Scream - never cared much for this series but they were all pretty equal in my book

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - original, one of the best of the best.

Alien - original and 2nd

Predator - original

Phantasm - original

Evil Dead - pretty close between 1&2 but probably 2 by a hair

Hellraiser - 2

Child's Play - original, but Bride was at least really funny lol

Final Destination - first one was the only I could stand

Imma re-rate mine... but excluding the original

FT13: Part 7 - at least they were trying something new with the telekinesis

ANOES: Part 3 - I liked the return of Nancy, and the kills were pretty cool

Alien: Aliens - fun, action-packed, and quite emotional at parts

Saw: Saw II - while not as intriguing as the original, it's still a fun and bloody little movie

The Evil Dead: Evil Dead reboot - insanely gory and fun to watch

Hellraiser: Hellbound - very convoluted; i didn't like it but it was the only bearable Hellraiser sequel that I've seen

Child's Play: Bride of Chucky - at least it was somewhat funny?

Final Destination: Final Destination 2 - better plot, writing, and death scenes than the first one

Scream: Scream 2 - not as good as the original but still pretty slick

Halloween: H20 - the return of Laurie was nice and it was pretty fun to watch


I think I covered most of the big ones.

I sometimes think I prefer Final Destination 2 to the first. I'll watch them all again soon as part of my annual Horror viewing, so I'll see whether I like it or the original better.

With anthology films I forgot the 1972 Tales From The Crypt as well as it's sequel, The Vault Of Horror. It's been so many years since I last watched either that I don't remember the segments in them very well.

Friday - II

Halloween - Original

Elm Street - Original

Saw - II

Scream - I

Texas Chainsaw - Remake

Alien - I

Predator - I

Phantasm - I

Evil Dead - II

Hellraiser - II

Child's Play - II

Final Destination - II

You and I are among the few who like the TCM remake the best. I respect the original but I just find the remake more entertaining.

Which other sequels have you seen of the series?

Friday the 13th is the one i'd pick.

Hell on Earth, Bloodline, and Hellworld

I've seen up to Hellseeker. Hellbound is the one I probably enjoyed the least thus far. It's not bad but there's something lackluster about it to me.

Thanks, what about your picks for the best movie of each listed series?

Off-topic but I notice the person above me who I was replying to before apparently had their post deleted.

Ju-on Japanese series
 

Ju-on & Silent Hill series! I'd prefer Asian Horror Movies, they don't focus on the monsters, but the spiritual side, & it's becoming a trend in US Horror Movies (as in Insidious series ::EEK!::).

I've always thought that Asian horror dealt more with curses, while American supernatural horror tends to deal with a "following", like in Paranormal Activity and Sinister.

Alien series of movies were good!

Just watched the latest Wong turn which was fun - I put em as:

Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007)
Wrong Turn (2003)
Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort (2014)
Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines (2012)
Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings (2011)
Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead (2009)

I've only seen the original, remember liking it.

Paranormal Activity is the lamest "horror" ever ::sad:: I don't get why it's not ranked in the comedy genre yet ::big grin::

That's disturbing that you find those movies funny.

The second one is more over the top and played for laughs. At least check that one out.

I make it a point to always give every entry in a series a day in court, so one day I'll definitely get around to seeing them all. I'll probably just buy them all since I like the first and have been meaning to buy it and am a completist as is when owning series.

Thanks for the review on it, I want to see it. I guess it's hard at times not to keep following a series; I wouldn't say all of them, but most of them.

I only own the first two, the first one is still my favorite.

I've only seen the first one, which I liked, but assumed the rest of the series wasn't worth watching. I guess I'll have to give at least #2 a chance.

I would. It's fun if anything else. It's hard not to like Henry Rollins!! ::big grin::

I always make it a point to give every installment in a series a fair shake, so I'll seek out all the Wrong Turn films eventually.
