My choices:

A Nightmare On Elm Street - New Nightmare
Saw - Saw II
Scream - Original
Evil Dead - Evil Dead II
Phantasm - Phantasm II
Alien - Aliens

And some additionals:

Puppet Master - Puppet Master 4

Romero's Living Dead - Day Of The Dead (1985)
Return Of The Living Dead - Part II
Poltergeist - Poltergeist II, but it's been so long since I last watched this series.
Jaws - Original
Cube - Original
Tremors - Original
Leprechaun - Original
Blade - Blade II
Amityville - Only seen the original, remake and It's About Time
Resident Evil - Seen the first two, need to see the rest to make fair judgment


I'm sure some of my picks will be controversial like Predator 2, ROTLD Part II and Poltergeist II, which isn't to say I disliked the originals at all, just simply enjoyed the sequel more. I'm a big fan of most of these series and most of the films in their respective series.

Those were pretty good. Not really pertaining to the topic, though.

I love pretty much all the horror series, because I own practically everything with a sequel on DVD, my man.

I'd say I love the originals the most, though, and some sequels are fine. Many unfortunately, tend to be of low quality and you can tell the producers are just so desperate to make us hand over our hard earned cash, due to the use of the franchise name alone. It's like how Saw will be back in October, under a slightly altered new name (Jigsaw). They said the one in 3D out in 2010 was meant to be the last chapter, but as usual, they weren't being honest.

[Rotting Corpse]

As do I. I literally have an entire shelf with nothing but Horror films and shows on it, up and down. That's how much I own

So I watched that new trailer for Jigsaw and the film looks only...mildly interesting. I just don't get it. Why revive this series? I mean, I think the original was a great thriller. One of the best horrors of the 2000s, for sure. But the rest of the sequels got gradually more insane and you could tell that the gore, plot direction and traps was becoming more exaggerated by the minute. Hell, who the heck can prepare all these "games" without being seen anyway?

I'm also sick of remakes, and rebooting everything is all Hollywood can do, or even Bollywood. It's just so easy to milk shit because people are so easily amused by this.

I guess the studio figures the series has been dormant long enough that some people might be interested in a comeback.

Chucky is returning soon as well, in Cult of Chucky.

I saw, got my copy just the other day and look forward to watching it.

I like that Chucky can possess all the other Good Guy dolls.

Cult Of Chucky was enjoyable enough but not the best, IMO.
