  1. Nightmare on Elm Street is all I can think of right now even though I really only like the 1st and the 3rd and New Nightmare.

  3. The scary movie franchise. Yes, it’s a comedy but nonetheless very damn funny.

  4. You know what, I took a sec to think about it and I would say the original Universal Frankenstein. I hardly think of the word "franchise" with classic film but there it is. And the first three Frankenstein films are unsurpassed.

  5. Scream. But just the two firsts...

  7. I go more for the fun than gross ones. Final Destination had that Rube Goldberg murder machine going on and Friday the 13th was pretty funny at times.

  8. Paranormal Activity. I prefer creepy over gore.

  9. Agree on the Universal Frankenstein movies. They scared the crap out of me as a kid who watched Shock Theatre. I just knew he was roaming in the woods in my neighborhood. And he killed a little girl. The humanity.

  10. the insta/fakebook/twatter feeds of people who have unnecessarily been dicks to me and/or people i care about.

  11. Are the the original Frankenstein movies considered a franchise? If so, that would be my choice. Like the Vincent Price and Christopher Lee horror movies as well. Don't like any of the horror movies from the 70's until now except for Jaws and I'm not sure if that movie qualifies under the horror genre.

  12. I never liked scary movies. I remember seeing what was it called IT"S ALIVE or something like that about a baby born bad. This was early 70s I guess. I saw it even then as a total mind-f/ck - like fear the baby ?! Ditto, Rosemary's Baby. I never saw Nightmare on Elm Street or any of those flicks, and in fact avoided them. I did see Exorcist and Damian though. I get very overstimulated watching movies. Perhaps because we use a projector and everyone is SO BIG. ANYWAY PASS on the scary shit.

  13. @momo.

    I was just going to post that I'm probably the only one on here who doesn't like horror movies as a genre.

    I thought I'd be a lone voice.

    I just do not like jump scares. Sitting apprehensive waiting for the next 'BOO!' moment is far from my idea of a good time.

    Back in the 70's I walked out of that Frankenstein remake. The intestines were bouncing with the camera shot looking up through that heating grate. That was the last horror film I saw.

  19. Alien but the first two are the only good ones

  20. CDAN...can't ignore the conflicting gossip and gay shaming and pedo protecting..a true masterpiece of horror..oh and name dropping of people dead for 30 years or more

  21. Sex and the city! LOL!!!!!

  22. I usually cant even sit through the commercials for most.
    I like the old Universal movies like Frankenstein or other classics played on the Son of Svengoolie show. Otherwise, Evil Dead for the humor.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Any Disney family films.

  24. Scream

    its just fun. the 2nd one is my favorite. it manages to be an entertaining 'scary' franchise, but sort of not? also it mocks horror movie tropes and characters the whole franchise, which I kind of adore lol

    ReplyDelete
  25. It's not a franchise, but I like Angel Heart. Micky O'Rourke and Robert De Niro. Check it out. Scared the shit out of me.

  26. Living in London in the’60’s, there was a show titled Mystery and Imagination. It was terrifying, especially the episode with Struwwelpeter. My brothers were addicted to the monster movies that played Saturday’s on WOR and WPIX. I spent every crossing of London Bridge on the car’s floor of the backseat convinced that the Great Behemoth would rise from the Thames and eat our car with us in it. Then there was the chalet my parents rented for a month outside of Davos which I just KNEW that damn Crawling Eye was coming down from the Alps. Oh yeah, Those fucking Daleks. I am amazed my over-active 3-6 year old brain didn’t atrophy with abject fear.

  27. Creature from the Black Lagoon. The director who made Shape of Water totally ripped it off.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yes! The original Frankenstein. Bride of Frankenstein's music score is a thing of beauty.

  29. I don't do horror. I don't find it fun at all to be scared.

  30. #1 Poltergeist- because Heather O'Roark was a G.
    #2 Nightmare on Elm St. - because Johnny Depp went to jail in pt.1 and got shanked.

  31. Geez how could anybody forget Hellraiser or Phantasm?!? I'm done. I miss the late 80's.

    1. Phantasm 1 was all a dream. The movies are pretty deep.

  32. Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses,
    The Devils Rejects
    and am super stoked to see 3 from Hell

    Not sure if these qualify as a franchise but close enough!
