Halloween 1 is a juggernaut, but it has some serious duds throughout the series.

Friday the 13th also has duds, but the general b-movie tone carries it a bit further on average.

Nightmare on Elm Street has the most interesting movies - 1, 3 and New Nightmare.

Scream is probably the most consistent - but has the smallest run at this point.

TCM - eh. 1 is fantastic but the sequels are mostly terrible, I did like the reboot however.

Saw and Child's play - meh. Hellraiser 1/2 great - but it also goes down quickly.


Rating on Influence:
Halloween
13th/Nightmare
Scream

Everything Else

Rating on Fun:
13th/Nightmare
Scream/Saw
Halloween

Everything Else


Pure Quality:
Scream/Nightmare
Halloween/13th

Everything Else




ETA: This allowed me to not pick a single one as the #1 by itself. You are welcome for the question dodge.

Freaux,

Consistently boring. First one equals all timer but the rest are repetitive & come off as a paint by numbers Hollywood cash grabs.

In Scream 2-4, the kills weren’t creative or gory, no tension filled moments or chase scenes, & no one cares who is behind the ghost mask.
