Scream 2 was at least equal to the original, although I agree that 3 was a load of rubbish; Omen 2 was also pretty decent, though it all went downhill from there. Child’s Play was (to my mind) a series that would’ve been better off never made at all, and as for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I thought the remake was pretty decent, although the prequel and the sequels to the original were all hopeless (with the exception of Matthew McConaughey stellar turn in ‘the Next Generation&...

WHAT! The child's play films are great! Bride of chucky is my favourite and the only one that I didn't like was 2, but the ending saved the film. The Texas chainsaw massacre remake was pretty good. I really liked Hellraiser 4, but 2 and 3 were terrible. The only bad Elm street films were 2 and 6, but I enjoyed the others, I loved 3 and 7-even more than 1. ... Read More

You say all of these horror movie series should have stopped at 1, yet in your other Halloween article, you say that 5 of the supposedly pointless films have provided some of the scariest moments in Horror history. Omen III, Scream 2, Day Of The Dead, Dawn Of The Dead (remake) and Halloween III. Whatchu talkin' 'bout Empire? On a couple of these cases, I may actually agree with you (definitely NOT on the Romero Dead saga) but you're not even being consistent here. Sort it out! ... Read More

Romero's DEAD SAGA is genius, i love all of them, as does empire, so we cool about that.
PHANTASM Saga is probably a bit more high brow than some of the other crap on the list. Cant wait for PHANTASM V.
TCM, Hopper's original should of been a one off, the sequels and the remakes sucked ass juice. ELM ST saga, First one was brilliant the sequels were crap. Omen, same again. SCREAM was shit full stop. HALLOWEEN Carpenter's original is still the best, H20 was a load of shite. HELLRAISER, first th... Read More

| RE: |
I have to agree with most of the comments here so far. Although intended as a light-hearted Halloween article there does seem to be a lack of LOVE for horror in this article. Do an article on horror films and their sequels by all means, but let's have someone writing it who sounds like they enjoy horror films.
Any horror fan, even if they're feeling in superior mood should admit that ALL of these films should have had sequels. That's part of what makes being a horror film fan fun. The ... Read More

The article says good things about all the Dead series and doesn't have one reason they should have stopped!
I think the title should have been "Any excuse to write about horror franchises at Halloween". ... Read More

Yes, there are some there that sound and look crap. But I enjoyed Scream 3 and H20 because they were without doubt scary to me. Sure, there are some which should stop at one and that's it. But if they were successful and scarred a lot of people, I can't see why they tried more out. Good listing, Empire. Very interesting. ... Read More
