02.07.19 | noice, seen all the Halloween films myself. Im a massive Carpenter fanboy. brb reading list
Back. Good list! Part 6 is fucking terrible tho, I'd say worse than Resurrection by a decent margin. I agree that 4 is better than 3 too. The remake is hilariously bad in ways that are mesmerizing I have to admit. |
budgie
02.07.19 | if you were to switch halloween h20 with halloween 4 and bump halloween 3 down to just above the zombie remakes it's my list :P |
Doibhin69
02.07.19 | trick or treat mothafucka. I actually liked halloween 2018 2nd best although there were flaws obviously |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.07.19 | @Sonoma - Yeah man, I can see someone really hating 6 ahaa. I actually realized I forgot to include 5, damn brb.
But the bottom ones all suck really hard, so they were hard to rank. And thanks, man!
@budgie - Niceeee, yeah I really dig parts of H20 but I can't get behind it as a complete piece.
@Doi- Yeah dude, without those flaws it def would have been my second favorite by a large margin |

02.07.19 | which is the one where the child hides in the laundry shoot |
budgie
02.07.19 | i think that's 5? |
budgie
02.07.19 | also i tink they call it a chute not shoot |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
02.07.19 | well chute, i sure fumbled that one |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
02.07.19 | anyways i remember that one was always on tv around halloween
other than that i've only seen the original |
BAT
02.07.19 | okay this ranking is pretty much perfect, zombies sequel is probably my least favorite next to curse. i first saw 2/3 back to back on like scifi/amc or bravo, spent the whole movie waiting for michael to show up. gotta love conal cochran thoo. still need to see the new one aswell |
neekafat
02.07.19 | "well chute, i sure fumbled that one" lmaooooo |
budgie
02.07.19 | ""well chute, i sure fumbled that one" lmaooooo"
right? awlays one step back 2 steps orward with this guy |
Rowhaus
02.07.19 | Best series ever and sick list dude! Solid ranking too. I'd go 1, 2018, 4, 2 myself for top four. I love me some Myers :) |
wham49
02.07.19 | curse and H2o are 3 and 4, although I am not a huge fan of 2, it is the second best Halloween |
wham49
02.07.19 | how can you even include the Zombie movies, do not deserve to be attached to the rest of the series |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.07.19 | @Bat - Thanks dude! Agreed on the Zombie films being dogshit. Watch the new one, I'm curious what you think. Like I said, it's certainly not even close to being perfect, but it has some great stuff in there.
@Row - Fuck yeah, man m/ I'll always be a Nightmare guy but this series is way up there for me. |
butt.
02.07.19 | surprised you haven't done this list up until now haha. I can agree with a lot of choices, but I think 2018 actually beats out Halloween II just slightly for me. HII has that 1981 charm, but the new one is just so god damn good in every other way (aside from the points you mentioned).
Also, even though both RZ remakes suck, the first is better than the second. |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.07.19 | @Row - Aha yeah I'm also surprised - there are a few other series that I never ranked that I'm going to get around to over the next couple of days too, so I'm pretty pumped for that.
I get why someone would like 2018 second best - like I said, I ALMOST did but those flaws just bother me way too much and keep taking me out of the movie even though everything else is top notch.
And about Zombie's 1st being better than the 2nd, maybe, but watching redneck human kid Michael with Rob Zombie's interpretation of what a family is for 45 minutes straight made me want to gouge my own eyes out. |
StrikeOfTheBeast
02.07.19 | I don't think 9 and 10 are complete garbage, especially 10, but I can understand the complaints and agree with many of them. Also agree with top 5. |
TheNotrap
02.07.19 | The original is, by far, the most interesting and influential slasher.
I need to check the last one asap.

DarkSideOfLucca
02.07.19 | "Also agree with top 5." Agreed
"The original is, by far, the most interesting and influential slasher." Agreed |

02.07.19 | "but watching redneck human kid Michael with Rob Zombie's interpretation of what a family is for 45 minutes straight made me want to gouge my own eyes out."
almost as egregious as shoehorning his annoying wife and the stupid white horse imagery, lol. what a fucking dickhead to shit all over the series with his personal bullshit |
juiceviaorange
02.07.19 | I like your rankings and explanations. I mostly share the same opinion as you, except I would've slid the 2018 up a bit to #2 or #3, and I have always for some reason like H5, even though I recognize its many flaws. Your bottom 3 are exactly where they need to be as those 3 movies are pure horseshit, but the other 8 are good to great movies. |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.07.19 | @budgie - ahaha agreed, man. Halloween 2 has it's own shitty reasons for sucking, as well.
@juice - rock on man, thanks for reading m/ - I'm going to rewatch Halloween 2018 in a few days with a friend of mine who never got around to seeing it, so it's possible it might move up above 4 when I'm done but tbh I don't see it beating out Halloween 2 |
budgie
02.07.19 | how would you rate the 4 modern entries of the slashers? i'm talking about 2009 friday, 2010 NOES, 2011 scream, 2018 halloween?
for me, scream>halloween>friday>noes |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.07.19 | Scream is #1 out of those by far, and 2010 Nightmare (being my favorite series) is BY FAR my least favorite.
The next two are tough, because the positives of Halloween fucking destroy everything in the new Friday movie, but then again for me the new Friday movie is way more consistent and doesn't have elements that take me out of the movie.
All that being said, I think I agree with your ranking.
Scream>Halloween>Friday>Nightmare |
budgie
02.07.19 | yeah man, friday was a lot of fun, the shit it gets is kind of stupid. it's pretty close to halloween 2018 for me too.
nightmare was a bummer, but the convenience store scene was cool, at least. but man the casting for freddy & the main girl were both terrible, terrible |
budgie
02.07.19 | "and doesn't have elements that take me out of the movie." do you mean the meta moments in halloween 18? like the super awkward slow-head-angling, or laurie-strode-falls-off-balcony-then-disappears-next-shot. those were a little clunky |
wham49
02.07.19 | Lucca you have to be nuts, scream is a fine movie, but saying it is better than the first few halloween, 13, or nightmare is just crazy |
budgie
02.07.19 | wham we're talking about the modern entries. that being said, i think scream 1 is as good as halloween 1, and MAYBE better than noes 1, and definitely better than friday 1 |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.07.19 | @budgie - I usually like Rooney Mara too, but man was she a fucking terrible Nancy. All around inexcusably awful film. And no, I mostly meant the awful Loomis 2 plot, awfully timed comedy during kill scenes, no follow up on that prom bullshit, etc. But yeah, some of the callbacks got to be a little much too, now that I think about it
@wham - Yeah man, we're talking about the newest movies. C'mon you should know by now that Nightmare is my favorite ;-). First Halloween movie is a fucking classic as well and way better than Scream.
That being said, Scream is better than fine, Scream is fucking awesome m/ |
wham49
02.07.19 | yes you are right, but I think of scream as its own entity, and kind of a transition between the classics and the new remakes
the new remakes should bot even be part of the convo, they are worth seeing for horror fans but no new ground is made if anything, it scars the original run of the series |
budgie
02.07.19 | yeah by my rankings, there are only a handful of films that get clean 5/5's: scream, halloween, jaws, the blackcoat's daughter, return of the living dead, the evil dead.. scream is IMO the youngest "classic" film. |
budgie
02.07.19 | pedantry but just to clarify, neither halloween 2018 nor scream 2011 are remakes, they are additional entries. though halloween 2018 retcons like.. all of the films except 1 |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.07.19 | @wham - Yeah, most new remakes are kind of shit but there are definitely some gems. I miss the days of the horror classics, though. We've got some great horror films in the past few years, but no classic monster/character classics like the 70s and 80s. It's been decades since we've gotten a worthy horror character of the 80s.
@budgie - There are like 10 or 15 that I would give 10/10 tbh (The Shining, The Exorcist, Halloween, Nightmare, Evil Dead 1 & 2, Psycho, etc) and totally agreed on Scream being the youngest classic.
Btw budgie, tomorrow night I'm seeing Return of the Living Dead in theaters! They're playing it around me at a theater that serves beer, I can't fucking wait. I love that movie so much. |
budgie
02.07.19 | dude that's so cool. the only retroactively-screened film i've seen in theater was labyrinth, which was wild, first time i ever saw it. i really need to keep up with what horror films are being reshown around.. do you use some websites that keeps track of all the events? i remember last halloween the thing (82) was being shown near me but i missed it |
budgie
02.07.19 | "It's been decades since we've gotten a worthy horror character of the 80s." i think my one argument is sam from trick'r'treat.. but he needs some more screen time. just the one film i think? |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.07.19 | Ah man, I live in NY so I've seen a bunch since there are always events around me. 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, Night of the Living Dead and a ton of others.
And not really, I just look at what my theaters are playing aha - I really should see if theres a website with that information, though.
And Trick R Treat rules, yeah. I don't know if he's really going to be an iconic horror figure, but Sam has potential for sure. |
budgie
02.07.19 | yeah they should have followed that film up by now, it's a bummer they haven't. really can't think of anything other than sam though, as a potential modern icon |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
02.07.19 | Rank all the hellraiser movies |
budgie
02.07.19 | i don't like any of them personally lol |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
02.07.19 | But pinhead is daddy bro |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.07.19 | Pinhead is a fucking great character, but yeah I’m not rewatching most of those for the sake of a list because like 80% of those movies are horribleeeeee lol
First one is great, but also very flawed. Second one has great gore and individual scenes but is a mess as a whole. And that’s as good as it gets lmao |
Faraudo
02.07.19 | Halloween 2018 would be my #2. Don't really give a shit about any movie from 5 to 11 smh |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
02.08.19 | @lucca who said anything about rewatching em just rank em |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
02.08.19 | Lest we forget that the majority of all of these series are mostly trash |
JeetJeet
02.08.19 | Busta Rhymes karate kicking Michael through a window will always be the funniest shit ever to me |
StrikeOfTheBeast
02.08.19 | who u callin pinhead |
wham49
02.08.19 | Resurrection is pretty bad, the only thing that saves if for me was when I saw it, the wife and I were on vacation and saw that it was playing at the Drive-in theatre where we were, so cool it to see it in that setting, regardless of how bad it was |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.08.19 | Fuck, I want to go to a drive in again. Last time I went to a drive in was the 90s.
And @Lord - Tbh I'd have to see those Hellraiser movies again in order to rank them because I've only seen each of them, other than the first two, once lol |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
02.08.19 | I've only seen the first two and the newest one |
budgie
02.08.19 | "Lest we forget that the majority of all of these series are mostly trash "
all 4 scream films are solid. the third one is still an above average slasher. none are anywhere near trash |

02.08.19 | Guys the Netflix scream tv show is obvs best |
Faraudo
02.08.19 | Is it? I've been wanting to watch it for some time now, but I never find enough motivation to do it. |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.08.19 | I really should get around to watching that. I also hear the Exorcist show is great. |
budgie
02.08.19 | @faraudo
i've heard only bad things about it.. |
JeetJeet
02.08.19 | @Lucca The Exorcist show is really good and nobody ever talks about it or watches it smh. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
02.08.19 | I dunno not really it's pretty trash but kind of entertaining trash? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
02.08.19 | But ya deffs trash |

02.08.19 | love that shot in the original where Mikey walks across the street and Laurie can't find the keys |

02.09.19 | Yeah that whole last 20 minutes or so when it's just Laurie vs Michael is the best shit ever |
