thacoconut94: Best Horror Movie Franchises

thacoconut94 10.30.14	Halloween y'alllll what did I miss
GmemberKills 10.30.14	Michael Myers was always one of my favorite horror icons, although i disagree about all but 1 being not good i find the series to be hit and miss. Saw 1,2 and the first Nightmare on Elm Street are some of my favorites here.
MyNameIsPencil 10.30.14	Alien 3 fucking sucked what are you talking about
Hyperion1001 10.30.14	wow halloween three rocks and is the second best in the franchise. the only ones even worth watching are the first 4. friday the 13th is the most consistent but they are consistently mediocre so that doesnt say much only the first 2 elm streets are good and the 3rd is ok if you like wisecrackin freddy but i dont
thacoconut94 10.30.14	Alien 3 didn't suck! It just wasn't action packed either...
thacoconut94 10.30.14	My personal favourite is halloween the original, and halloween 5
lyzakthellama 10.30.14	Never got nightmare on elm street, always thought it was pretty fucking lame in execution 3 is 1 though, not a single mediocre film in that franchise yet
MO 10.30.14	"always thought it was pretty fucking lame in execution " the fuck. the first 2 are pretty imaginative and englund does an amazing job as Freddy
IAMLEGION 10.30.14	Every Alien movie after Aliens sucked balls.
lyzakthellama 10.30.14	I always liked the concept just never actually liked the movies that much
MO 10.30.14	also I'd include the George Romero zombie series movies Night, Dawn, Day and Land
thacoconut94 10.30.14	That's a good point actually no evil dead movie sucked, army of darkness wasn't GREAT though
AtomicShane 10.30.14	ya romero's dead series needs to be in here, and I'd take off insidious... considering there are two of them that are far from being classics
TheGreatQ 10.30.14	Wait there's a second/third Insidious? The first one was pretty bad I don't get why people liked it.
DungeonBoy 10.30.14	Alien 3 has a pretty awesome atmosphere. Also Alien after Insidious? Insidious was a pretty decent movie, but huh? 1,2,3 are solid picks, and I agree with 6!
AtomicShane 10.30.14	honestly, I think Cabin Fever, Scream, or Jeepers Creepers are more campy / re-watchable franchises than insidious
ti0n 10.30.14	all halloween movies suck friday the 13th suck the evil dead doesnt suck congratulations insidious suck alien 3 and 4 suck big time freddy 1 doesnt suck the rest suck saw 1 doesnt suck the rest does wrong turm are you fucking kidding me there you have it. but dude taking this all into account you must suck man
thacoconut94 10.30.14	Woooooow fuck me right
AtomicShane 10.30.14	well dude most franchises suck because eventually they start being produced for money...
thacoconut94 10.30.14	I actually thought the two insidious films were honestly pretty fucking awesome
adr 10.30.14	Insidious is pretty terrible yeah, also The evil dead movies are kinda overrated, still good though. watched Eraserhead few days ago, it's not horror like these, but goddamn this is the most disturbing movie i've ever watched.
TheGreatQ 10.30.14	"honestly, I think Cabin Fever, Scream, or Jeepers Creepers are more campy / re-watchable franchises than insidious" Haven't seen Cabin Fever but agree with the other two.
DungeonBoy 10.30.14	haha yeah Eraserhead is real weird.
thacoconut94 10.30.14	Eraserhead?
combustion07 10.30.14	You're so wrong about Halloween 3
thacoconut94 10.30.14	I think it comes from being a giant myers fan and having an entry into the series with no Michael, I'm sure I may have enjoyed it had it been a separate stand alone film
combustion07 10.30.14	Next time you watch it watch as a standalone film. You'll dig it way more that way. Also check out The Burning it's a Friday the 13th ripoff that pretty much slays the whole series. You see Wrong Turn 6 yet? I've been meaning to check it out but haven't had the cash to snag it yet
thacoconut94 10.30.14	Yeah your probably right. I've never heard of the burning but I will check it out! I haven't seen wrong turn 6 yet, I watched 5 the other night and well... I won't be in any rush to see another wrong turn for a while haha so I've let that one slide a little
combustion07 10.30.14	I actually dug 5 the plot is pretty lame but the practical gore effects were solid but 3 is the shithole of that series for me. Love part 2 though with it's awesome brain melting stupidity. Gotta love Henry Rollins running around the woods kicking some inbred ass lol
Alkemest 10.30.14	I love the new Evil Dead so much. It's so disturbing and cathartic for me in an almost unhealthy way lol Old ones are great too.
thacoconut94 10.30.14	Yeah number two was awesome haha loved Henry Rollins in that, I had no idea he was in that before I watched it so it was a nice surprise. Number 1 was obviously the best film. I'm a BIG fan of the new evil dead, I'm hungrily awaiting a sequel
Alkemest 10.30.14	New sequels are gonna be fucking amazing!
thacoconut94 10.30.14	Absolutely, although sadly I haven't even heard rumours that they're doing another :(
Titan 10.30.14	Elm Street part 1 is soooooo good
Shuyin 10.30.14	check the Ju-On movies, grudge, black ghost and the curse are all fucking awesome, plus REC 1 and 2 check the original versions, not the shitty hollywood remakes
combustion07 10.30.14	I've always found the Ju-Ons to be really boring but I dug the first part of the latest one. The original Pulse is my jam though can't get enough of it. They build up the suspense with that doorway so perfectly. American directors need to take some notes from that film and knock it off with all of their pathetic jump scares
Shuyin 10.30.14	ju-on is mostly ambience/plot and not really the jump scares/action, thats what makes them so awesome
MrSirLordGentleman 10.30.14	Saw I is probably one of my favorite horror movies. Saw III is pretty good too. The rest sucks though
combustion07 10.30.14	Yeah most of the original Japanese flicks that get remade are that way. Just something about the Ju-On series that doesn't really click with me for some reason, which is weird because I dig most of the other flicks in that vein. I think the out of all of the American remakes the worst of the worst is One Missed Call that one was borderline unwatchable
Kman418 10.30.14	hatchet series is goat slasher but yall aint know about that
combustion07 10.30.14	Hatchet is pretty solid first one had the best kills by far though. Laid to Rest had some pretty awesome kills too. But for modern slashers Gutterballs takes the cake for the best kills by far
Kman418 10.30.14	like the hatchet movies just acknowledge how fucking stupid and over the top they are and have fun with it which is why they're so much better than like 90% of other slashers
combustion07 10.30.14	There's plenty of stupidly over the top slashers out there that trump Hatchet but it's definitely up there for me too. 80's slashers are where it's at though
SleepSunn91 10.31.14	The first Hellraiser is amazing! But pretty much downhill from there
combustion07 10.31.14	Just made a list of 100 horror flicks and when I tried to submit sputnik popped up with the log in page :/ bastards. Hellraiser 2 is great and Hellraiser 3 is okay but yeah the rest of the series pretty much blows
DungeonBoy 10.31.14	"The first Hellraiser is amazing!" One of my favorite horror movies. The ones after that aren't terrible, they have a totally campy vibe. I can't remember which one (maybe 3) with the cenobite made out of CDs..
MO 10.31.14	man Hellraiser: Hellbound was one of those movies you watch as a kid and instantly age like 5 years. the scene with the guy trying to get the "bugs" off his skin with an old razor is like what.the.fuck when you're 9
Titan 10.31.14	you're out of your mind
DungeonBoy 10.31.14	you're out of your mind [2]
TheGreatQ 10.31.14	The remake was ok. I would have liked it a lot more if I didn't think Katie Cassidy's performance was so profoundly boring. I really liked the Friday the 13th remake, though.
DungeonBoy 10.31.14	I know they weren't going for the same, bizarre twisted punny Freddy, but that's what made those movies so unique. I also didn't like what they did with his makeup.
TheGreatQ 10.31.14	Definitely agree about the makeup, but I never quite liked punny Freddy as much.
Tunaboy45 10.31.14	6 will always be my favourite. Also, I actually like the story of Saw, though the final chapter was a mess and left many questions unanswered.
Titan 10.31.14	Freddy wasn't as punned in the original part 1 as he was in all the sequels, his character was still on the darker side at that point and agreed, his makeup in the remake was too far off of the original which was disappointing
Tunaboy45 10.31.14	I call the remake Freddy 'pizza face'
Kman418 10.31.14	he always had a pizza face look me in the got damn eyes n try to tell me he didn't have a bunch of pepperonis stuck to his face in the original
Hyperion1001 10.31.14	this is forever the best freddy quote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=609GY6-QDSg&feature=youtu.be&t=3m30s
MO 10.31.14	"his puns were even funnier/sadistic in the new one too" but the new Freddy had fucking zero personality. what maybe Englunds Freddy so interesting to watch is that he had this crazy character and pep to his step. the remake was just so fucking bland
Hyperion1001 10.31.14	not to mention the face in the wall scene is the worst special effect of all time in the remake tbh i never watched the whole thing, i turned it off after that
Tunaboy45 10.31.14	Always loved this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoW3-FwEIhI "How's this for a wet dream?"
GuanoBumbershoot 10.31.14	It's unfortunate that Halloween III gets written off. The franchise was going in a more interesting direction, until it was butchered to cash in on a white mask. I mean it took getting to the 6th film to actually come up with that garbage "reasoning" for why Michael didn't die at the end of Halloween II.
combustion07 10.31.14	"englund gets way too much credit. id say the personality thing is the other way around and earle bailey was better." Worst opinion of the year goes to
DarkSideOfLucca 10.31.14	2 is WAYYYY too high, Evil Dead trilogy (not really a series, though) is far superior in every way. 1 is 1. Alien 1 and 2 are some of the best movies of all time but 3 and especially 4 are fucking atrocities, but no way should Insidious be above this. And Nightmare 1, 3 and New Nightmare rule hard. Obviously, all my opinion.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.31.14	And tres, I respect your opinion but I may have to disagree with that statement harder than anything ever.
betray 10.31.14	"Alien Name a film in the series that isn't great, can't be done." huge alien fan but what the fuck is this
wacknizzle 10.31.14	The first Halloween is the ultimate slasher film imo. Meyers is the most terrifying horror film villain. The 2nd film goes hand in hand, 3 is kinda funny and obviously a different story, 4 and 5 are worth watching. Freddy kicks ass(other than the god awful remake), Jason movies are corny but definitely entertaining and funny, sometimes a bit scary. The first 2 Child's Play movies are hilarious and awesome.
tempest-- 10.31.14	Child's Play is great yea like when Chuckie gets shot and he starts bleeding like seriously hes a fuckin doll hahahah
tempest-- 10.31.14	I want to dedicate a weekend to watching all the Friday 13th, Elm Street, Halloween franchises back to back
wacknizzle 10.31.14	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVXCSuXDb9E Also super funny when Chuckie rages out
pedro70512 10.31.14	Megashark is the best horror series and if you disagree you suck
wacknizzle 10.31.14	"I want to dedicate a weekend to watching all the Friday 13th, Elm Street, Halloween franchises back to back" Been watching em all the past two weeks on AMC. They're doing the whole Halloween franchise tonight
Hyperion1001 10.31.14	got the anchor bay 35th anniversery halloween blu ray just waiting for tonight
combustion07 10.31.14	I'm going with a Fulci marathon but I may pop in some Halloween
adr 10.31.14	just rewatched Halloween 1 and I was truly astonished at how terrible it was. It's amazing this movie enjoys the lofty reputation it does. So Boring, i guess the next parts are even worse, the Rob Zombie movies are shit too.
childishbrandino 01.20.15	wrong turn are you serious??
FrozenVain 01.20.15	Hellraiser 1-3 are awesome. 4-9 sucks shit.
Insurrection 01.20.15	wrong turn 1 and 2 are fun as hell but 3 is one of the worst pieces of shit ive ever seen
childishbrandino 01.20.15	there's 4 and I think 5 aswell now
Insurrection 01.20.15	i can't imagine how godawful those must be
childishbrandino 01.20.15	4 was hilarious haven't bothered with 5
Titan 01.20.15	Elm Street 1 and 3 ftw
childishbrandino 01.20.15	Texas chainsaw and scream replace alien and wrong turn
Parallels 01.20.15	"Name a film in the series that isn't great, can't be done." Uhhh the last good alien movie was in 1986, unless you count Prometheus which was kickass
Lord(e)Po)))ts 01.20.15	lol @ insidious
Hawks 01.22.15	Halloween and Friday the 13th are best by far. I thought Insidious sucked.
childishbrandino 02.01.15	suck a dick Hawks and pots insidious is ill
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.15	it was a fun watch but it wasnt like amazing or anything
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.15	also no i will not 'suck a dick' that is profane and vulgar and i resent it
Insurrection 02.01.15	the third act of insidious killed it for me
childishbrandino 02.01.15	James wan (director) is a genius man one of the best up and coming of any genre
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.15	i mean i just imdb'd him and i have to say that no he is not a genius and is not one of the best up and coming of any genre tbh tbh
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.15	saw the conjuring insidious yeah ok buddy
childishbrandino 02.01.15	have you ever seen anything like saw? no you haven't and with insidious and the conjuring he's introduced a new era of horror
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.15	yeah ive seen hundreds of shitty gore flicks and with insidious and the conjuring he's introduced 2 movies that are exactly the same as every other haunting ever made in short: he is about the furthest thing from being the best up and coming director of anything ever and you are fully retarded to the point of embarassment tbh tbh tbh
childishbrandino 02.01.15	ok let's take insidious for example it avoids nearly every horror cliche going with decent acting (which is rare for a horror) and it's reasonably creative in the way that it freaks you out instead of just making you jump once in a while
childishbrandino 02.01.15	and tell me the film you've seen like saw please
Jots 02.01.15	how many horror movies have you seen childishbrandino
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.15	you dont even get turnt well do u "and tell me the film you've seen like saw please" hostel, hostel 2, hostel 3, saw 74, shitty gore movie 7462, wolf creek or whatever the fuck, other forgettable shitty gore movie, gore movie thats shitty number 7000, that other gore movie everyone watched when they were 13 57264616232
childishbrandino 02.01.15	reasonable amount mate I like a good horror
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.15	"ok let's take insidious for example it avoids nearly every horror cliche going with decent acting" the funny thing is how literally every single horror cliche is present in both of them. THATS the funny thing.
childishbrandino 02.01.15	pots your comparing hostel and wolf creek to saw are you serious?
childishbrandino 02.01.15	like what tres
thacoconut94 02.01.15	I literally included wrong turn and saw for filler cause I made this list in like 30 seconds, half the wrong turn and saw movies fucking suck. all the saw movies fucking suck actually
adr 02.01.15	watched The Babadook yesterday and it was quite good for a horror movie made in 2014
thacoconut94 02.01.15	Halloween >>>>>>>
thacoconut94 02.01.15	adr im desperate to see that. how did you view it?
Insurrection 02.01.15	"all the saw movies fucking suck actually" 1 and 2 are excellent
thacoconut94 02.01.15	everything that follows 3 is so confusing and drawn out that it makes me hate on the franchise
adr 02.01.15	"how did you view it?" what you mean? I download it and watch it lol
thacoconut94 02.01.15	ah download was wondering if it was on dvd or Netflix yet, I buy movies because im clearly morally rich tbh
childishbrandino 02.01.15	fair point but I'm talking seeing things in mirrors and stuff I just thought it was creative, there was hardly a time where you thought oh I know what's coming next
Insurrection 02.01.15	i liked the detective character and hoffman arc in saws 4 and 5 but the torture scenes were wayyy to blown out
cryptside 02.01.15	I really like the first Saw movie, they definitely went downhill after that but 2 was still decent. Really stoked to watch The Babadook.
childishbrandino 02.01.15	yeah man you certainly sound like you know more than lordepots tres haha
childishbrandino 02.01.15	might be wrong but I think he's doing fast and furious 7, bit of a change of path
ResidentNihilist 02.01.15	the alien trilogy is still my favourite sci-fi trilogy of all time but the fourth one did suck quite a lot though it wasn't unwatchable just corny af. alien 3 was really good, it was just stylistically so different from the first 2 in look.
Flugmorph 02.01.15	alien!!
childishbrandino 02.01.15	loved the first and the fourth ff the rest are pretty average I think
Kman418 02.02.15	any 1 here excited for it follows
Shuyin 02.02.15	alien 3 was aight, it got the atmosphere going. its more an unworthy sequel rather than a bad movie
JohnnyoftheWell 02.02.15	Scary Movie
Shuyin 02.02.15	insidious 2 was fucking awful
thacoconut94 02.02.15	I loved it. Thought it was better than the first.
betray 02.02.15	Alien Name a film in the series that isn't great, can't be done.
thacoconut94 02.02.15	That isn't GREAT resurrection wasn't as good as the previous films but it was still a great film, alien 3 was awesome. Aliens and alien, I don't even need to defend them
thacoconut94 02.02.15	I could watch the alien films all day son, they need to do another alien film!
betray 02.02.15	nah fuck that anything but the first two are shit and 3 was okay
childishbrandino 02.02.15	dark skies was decent man
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.02.15	idiots itt and by idiots i mean childishbrandino he is the only idiot itt
childishbrandino 02.02.15	not this guy again go away mate
Tunaboy45 02.02.15	Alien Res errection was awful though
thacoconut94 02.02.15	Ron Perlman alone means the movie wasn't "awful" It wasn't fantastic though...
Tunaboy45 02.02.15	that film was very very very very very very very French
thacoconut94 02.02.15	Lmao! That new born thing or whatever it was, was the shittest thing ever
Shuyin 02.02.15	im cool if the next movie explores more the origins of the alien instead of having a xeno going on a rampage, mostly because that's already been done. but we need a happy balance because at the same time i hope they dont throw too much detail into it. we're easily fascinated by stuff we know nothing about and i want the alien to stay that way
Insurrection 02.02.15	it was pretty awful tbh. he and tuco made it watchable, thats about it
thacoconut94 02.02.15	Here's one Evil dead 2013 >>>> the original
Tunaboy45 02.02.15	they tried to make you feel sorry for it by giving it puppy dog eyes
Tunaboy45 02.02.15	http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j111/DestroX71689/alien.png
thacoconut94 02.02.15	I liked the avps too, didn't love them but definitely enjoyed them both. The lighting on the second AVP was diabolical though
Tunaboy45 02.02.15	http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j111/DestroX71689/alien.png
Tunaboy45 02.02.15	LOOK AT THAT THING
Kman418 02.02.15	the town that dreaded sundown (2014) >>>>> the original hard
Insurrection 02.02.15	ive been meaning to see that movie for a while. i think its on netflix now
Kman418 02.03.15	i thought it was going to be terrible cause the original was pretty mediocre and in no way did it warrant a sequel/remake but it was actually very well done. it has some pretty incredible visuals too which was nice to see
Kman418 02.09.15	ya its one of the best
Kman418 02.10.15	are u talking about the new one?? honestly it had a lot of really spectacular moments even though overall it wasnt too memorable. it was also way more visually interesting than the large majority of slashers
Kman418 02.10.15	i dont know if you've seen the original/a lot of slashers from the late 70s/early 80s but a lot of the appeal comes from having that as a reference point. its kind of like scream in how its whole aesthetic is layered in meta humor about the genre itself the cinematography was so well done though like some of the imagery was so distinctive and the way the shots were edited together was really interesting for how boring these sorts of movies generally are in that regard. it really didn't try much in terms of the actual story itself but i don't think it really needed to to be successful in what it was going for
TalonsOfFire 02.10.15	It seems like the only good movie in 7 is the very first
Kman418 02.10.15	no all the saw movies suck including the first
Lowder91bird 02.10.15	Evil Dead is my personal favorite.
TalonsOfFire 10.23.22	If Alien counts as a horror franchise that's definitely #1 for the first two and Prometheus alone. Alien>Halloween>Evil Dead>The Exorcist>Conjuring and Insidious universe>Nightmare on Elm Street>Scream>Friday the 13th. Most slasher franchises are unnecessary after the originals. The Hannibal franchise would be toward the top if the TV series counted.
MoM 10.23.22	Prometheus was so goddamn cool.
TalonsOfFire 10.24.22	Yeah that's my favorite Alien movie besides the original
Yep321 10.24.22	Phantasm booooooy!
