@rahiem9123:
Number 1 is obviously Psycho, but I want to make room for other franchises so here I go:
1. Friday The 13th - I seen the entire franchise at least 6 times as of now, and will probably watch it over again one of these days. The storyline in the first five had me invested, especially the fourth, and fifth surrounding, Tommy Jarvis, a victim who survived Jason's attack and how the events regarding Jason affected him psychologically via PTSD and he at one point becomes so obsessed with him and trying to kill him that he digs up Jason's grave, causing lightning to strike his casket, and revive him. And even in the tie in comic, (takes place years after Freddy Vs. Jason) we see a older Tommy still trying to hunt him down.
2. Texas Chainsaw Massacre - My second favorite and reason being is just the thought of a cannibalistic, psychotic, and deranged man wielding a chainsaw while wearing human flesh on his face is enough to send chills down my spine especially since it can actually happen. What made me even more scared, was the fact that I watched the series while living in Texas at the time (In Florida now) lol. My favorite from the bunch were Tobe Hopper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Next Generation, and the remake's gritty take on the series (Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning). I wasn't really a big fan and disliked the 2013, and the second one of the original series as I felt the first half of the movie had me scared, but in the second I felt it was getting cheesy especially with that chainsaw fight between the cop and Leatherface.
3. Scream - Like it for the same reason I did with Texas Chainsaw Massacre which was the realistic part, and the plot in each one kept me intrigued throughout each one. Plus I like the twist, regarding revealing the killer's identity and I felt like Wes Craven did a good job on each of these films. (R.I.P to him btw)
4. Nightmare on Elm Street - Another one of Wes Craven's series I liked. I loved Robert Englund's portrayal of the character, as well as Jackie Earle Harley's. I enjoyed the quality of each film with the exception of the third, fifth, and fourth film as I found plot was too confusing with the dreams warriors, and dream powers and stuff like that. My favorite in order, best to worst would be: 1, 2, Remake, 6, 5, 4, 3.
5. Halloween - Love the quality and story of each film. I like how Michael's motivation to kill his family members, is never cleared up which makes him a lot more scarier as he just got up one day and decided to kill his sister and the rest of his family members. I also liked Rob Zombie's take on the series, with the exception of the second as he took it too far with the imagery (The horse, younger Michael, his dead mom, etc). I also, liked how John Carpenter shifted onto entirely on another plot via Halloween 3 with a story that was just as intriguing that involved a sinister company going out it's way to kill as many kids as possible. My favorite would be the first, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 4th, and the remake.
Honorable mentions would include Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days/Weeks later, REC, Quarantine, Child's Play, etc.
