Best Movie In a Horror Series
WOH seems like the right sub-forum for this, if not the moderators can move it elsewhere. With the huge number of Horror fans here, thought this would be a fun topic to share. Of these Horror series, which is your pick for the single best installment in each? No multiple choice, just one per series please. You can add more series if you'd like, right now I just have some of the more notable ones listed. Friday The 13th Halloween A Nightmare On Elm Street Saw Scream Alien Predator Phantasm Evil Dead Final Destination The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Hellraiser Child's Play --- IMO the best in each: Friday The 13th - The Final Chapter Halloween - 1978 Original A Nightmare On Elm Street - New Nightmare Saw - Saw II Scream - Original Alien - Aliens Predator - Predator 2 Phantasm - Phantasm II Evil Dead - Evil Dead II Final Destination - Original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - 2003 Remake Hellraiser - Original Child's Play - Original Some of my choices may be controversial, like Predator 2, which isn't to say I don't like the original (love it on the contrary), just enjoyed the sequel a little more. |

Out of the franchises you listed, I prefer the original film in every one. I'm trying to think of a horror franchise where I don't think the first film is the best one... I'm struggling at present! |

I agree, I think out of the films Shadow has listed the first ones are the best. The only sequels I think are on a par with the originals are: Aliens, Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Evil Dead II, Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI, and Phantasm II.

I almost went with Jason Lives as my favorite F13 movie, it's always close between it and The Final Chapter for me. Some other series I remembered: Puppet Master - Puppet Master 4 Maniac Cop - Maniac Cop 2 Poltergeist - Poltergeist II Romero's Living Dead Saga - Day Of The Dead (1985) Return Of The Living Dead - Part II Jaws - Original Paranormal Activity - Original Tremors - Original Leprechaun - Original I Know What You Did Last Summer - Original I'm sure ROTLD2 and Poltergeist II will be controversial. I love the originals, I just found the sequels a little more entertaining overall. I tend to prefer sequels quite a bit, though there are many times I like the original the best. |

I agree with most of the above. The only one I would add is Amityville 2. |

Forgot about the Amityville films, been too long since I last saw them to pick a favorite. What would you pick as the best installment in each listed series? |

Some people might like the originals best though along with some sequels in other series.

Return Of The Living Dead - Part 1 Jaws - i can't watch this film it's just so bad. Paranormal Activity - No answer for this series of...films? Tremors - Original Leprechaun - Original I Know What You Did Last Summer - Original I have to say that i really don't like Aliens, to this day and ater many many attempts i can't stay awake to the end, it's just so boring. i adore Alien and also like part 3.
