Hands down, Evil Dead, as it is a franchise that knew when to stop (after three) and all three are brilliant.

Halloween would probably be second, even if most of the sequels are worthless.

Not on the list, but I’d have to go for the Hammer films, which really covers the Frankenstein, Dracula and Wolfman series. I suppose you could include the Mummy films in there too but they were never favourites of mine. Peter Cushing, Bela Lugose, Lon Chaney Jnr; all good stuff.

I don’t think there is a best, because all of them are in good in their own way. However, as much as I like “Jason” as maniacal killer (except Part 1 and 4), Ash brings it to the table in Evil Dead as the hero.

Ash vs. Jason?

Romero FTW. No doubt about it. Even though I wasn’t a big fan of Diary.

His new zombie flick goes to camera on Sunday in Toronto. We spoke to their international sales distributor yesterday. He said that internally they’re calling the film “Something of the Dead”. LOL

Friday the 13th all the way baby! The first four movies are awesome. Also part 6,8 and 10 are fun.

I have always enjoyed George Romero’s dead series & feel that the series has maintained a quality through out which is rare for sequels in any genre, especially the horror genre.

@ Itchy-Finger
Yes, I’ve seen all three of the Poltergeist films. I would agree that the first was the best. Personally I didn’t think the third one was that bad. It’s been a few years since I watched that film so I can’t say I recall a chubby non cute child. Regardless, I’d put this franchise above Final Destination any day.

@Aaron
Did you see Poltergeist 2 or 3? I am a big fan of the first Poltergeist but I could have really done without the 2nd or 3rd. Especially the 3rd when the cute little girl has grown into a chubby non cute child.
No offense to chubby child’s out there.

One thing that I do like about the Saw series is how each film has wrapped in with the others, I especially liked how the third ones ending fell into place with the ending of the second one, one of the great mind games going on is the playing with time and how all these stories are inter winding together. All in all the films have each time not been as good as the one before it, but I am enjoying the series and looking forward to the 4th installment.

Why is poltergeist not on this list?
