Your Turn

Favorite horror movie franchise. Not a one off, a franchise.

  1. The Thing was unfortunately franchised, so that.

  2. I'm horrified by horror movies.

  5. The "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies are probably the only franchise with more than one good entry, which is to say two.

    The "Halloween" remake was well done, but I didn't like it. Rob Zombie is a talented director, I wish he would get the help he obviously needs. But "Hallowe'en III: Season of the Witch" was also pretty good, for what it is, so that's runner up.

  6. The Omen or the Conjuring.

  7. I agree with J - Sex and the City is a very good pick.

  8. I dunno, Donna, I thought The Omen 2 was as good as Omen 1.

    Oh, I forgot Poltergeist. I loved the first two movies.

    1. The only series where the reality was more horrifying than the movies.

  9. Child's Play. The ones with Jennifer Tilly especially.

    Now THOSE are horrifying.

  11. I can't believe no one mentioned Friday the 13th, yet.

    Must be a young crowd at this "your turn" - they probably have no clue who is "Jason."

    1. Nah, we're just not as enthused by shallow morality plays as you must be

  12. I think the Night of the Living Dead franchise is probably my favorite. Lots of fun social commentary mixed into those.

  13. I know who Jason is, I'm just not a fan of those movies. The Nightmare movies were funny, though.

  14. @Do Tell - they were kitschy little horror movies for sure - and tbh I hate horror movies, but the original Fri/13th was the very first horror movie I was allowed to go see on my own, so while it's not the best movie out there, it holds a kitschy place in my heart. /grin/

    Plus it was the first time as a pre-teen I saw Kevin Bacon on screen. /swoon/

      You're forgiven😉

    2. Friday the 13th part IV: The Final Chapter (which wasn't the final chapter, naturally) is worth watching for Crispin Glover. I think this is the one Corey Feldman is in too.

  15. This one is tough, I really liked the first few Hellraisers before they got stupid. But I would also probably say Friday the 13th.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'm seeing other suggestions here--Alien/s, Scream, Conjuring--that make me reassess. I never saw Omen 2, but maybe that one too. There are several franchises that had more than one good film. I'll change my pick to "Scream."

    ReplyDelete
  17. Star Trek, but not the reboot. I hate reboots with a passion.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Clearly lost the ability to read. haha

    I liked The Blair Witch Project (yes, even the second one).

    1. Omg the second one is my fave, watched it many times just because of Kim Diamond! Lol

  19. Evil Dead trilogy!

  20. Evil Dead
    I've even seen the musical, highly recommend.

  22. Jaws (1 and 2)
    The Omen (1-2-3)

  23. Omen and Hellraisers!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. For their time, Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th. I was also fond of The Howling, the suspense of not knowing who is a werewolf.

  27. Freddy will always be #1 in my heart but the Final Destination series holds up against the improved special effects skills we have to date. Saw & Hellraiser do the job too.

    I don't like them. Bad for the soul. They used to be just a few thrills. They got much worse.

  29. The Conjuring. I hated when "happy endings" went out of fashion. I want to see someone go through a nightmare and come out on the other side. And they have the right balance of showing you scares and letting you imagine them.

    @mercyprosperity They've gotten better lately. Torture porn is no longer in fashion, thank god.

    @thia I think the Blair Witch sequel is underrated.

  30. I was going to nominate Halloween til I just searched and saw there has been 11 of them made wtf. that is ridiculous. but while I am here yesterday at work I was talking to a girl about a movie and we both couldn't figure out the name and I want to be the hero please help me

    it was kind of like sleeping with the enemy. the wife fakes her death and moves to quaint town. as I recall she hooks up with a teacher and maybe her mom is in a home but at end of it she knows husband found her because stuff in house was straightened up and she ends up shooting him in head at her home. I may be crossing storylines with enemy movie and that one movie with the beach house and I did try to web search it and it's not Haven because I don't think she had kids. what is the name of movie please

  31. I hate horror. But I have seen two Purge movies, so I guess I have to pick that one.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Paranormal Activity

    ReplyDelete
  33. Saw.... nothing like a creepy "Saw" movie!

    ReplyDelete
  34. @Lucy, everything you described is from Sleeping With the Enemy. :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. @Lucy was it “Enough?” With Jennifer Lopez & Billy Campbell?
    I’m also thinking there was another similar movie with Billy Moses, maybe?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Do not want. Reality is frightening enough.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I live in Racoon City, so I have to go with Resident Evil. I just love it, even the shitty films.

    ReplyDelete
  38. thank you for your input. certainly sounds like sleeping with the enemy but we both insist it wasnt, but very similar. I swear it wasn't Julia Roberts starring, also know it wasn't Enough. hopefully it runs again soon as it's kinda making me nuts.
    thanks again

    That dance Glover does in the movie is hilarious.
