Hellraiser 2: Major expansion of the world, brought back all the key players and kept them developing as characters, and gave us some of the best images/moments of the whole series of movies. I slightly edge the first movie, but this is one of the best sequels ever IMO.
Aliens: I like the first one more because this one wasn't as scary to me. But it was action-packed and just awesome. Definitely on the "best sequels" category for me.
Psycho 2: Not as good as the original, but I like to list it because it's slept on for how good it is. They flip the POV, and now we're watching Norman Bates try to live a normal life with a bunch of forces trying to pull him back to Psycho mode.
Exorcist 3: I find it as scary as the first, and it's got arguably the best jump scare ever. Plus the dream sequence is creepy as hell and includes NY Knicks royalty Patrick Ewing.
Ouija: Origin of Evil: I didn't like the first Ouija film, but this one is actually pretty good. So it's a rare "better than the original."
Dr. Sleep: Nothing tops the Shining, but the fact this actually felt like a quality addition to the story really makes it valid for any "top sequels" list in my book.

Have yall peeped No One Will Save You yet (the Alien home invasion flick with a fantastic trailer)? I thought it was cool...but a bit overhyped. Decent alien horror movie, but when everyone was calling it "like a Black Mirror or Twilight Zone episode," I feel like it could have been just as effective at a tv show length rather than the full feature.
Cool aspects:
- Damn near no dialogue. It's a literal "show, don't tell" movie.
- The aliens have varied designs but still feel like they're from the same group.
- The Invasion of the Body Snatchers vibes through portions of the movie.
The weaknesses:
- Over-reliance on shoddy CGI. It's 2023, and filmmakers still lean too much on CGI when practical effects are almost always better.
- Although the situations vary, the story still started to feel redundant to me.
- The ambiguous ending didn't really land for me, though maybe a second watch will let me play with theories.
It's a solid 2.5 out of 5 for me. But that's disappointing when I loved the premise and got hype from the trailer.

I created a Trakt watchlist for all the movies. Anyone can create an account and follow along with whatever apps they have so that they can keep track of what they watch.
If you click a movie and select watch now it will show you all the streaming services the film is available on.

Sort by "Date Added". You might need to hit the
to change the order so that Trick R Treat is 1st. I added The Nightmare on Elm Street movies as a placeholder for "Choose your own".Edit: I got the wrong Mill on there. I added so now it's after Halloween. So if you read this make sure to watch this one with Lil Rel over the 2008 movie.

So they are rebooting , the toxic avenger and hellraiser
Will post links once confirmed
1st screening of Toxic Avenger was last Friday in Austin at FANTASTIC FEST. The movie seems to be ok and Peter Dinklage is Toxie.

The Hellraiser reboot came out last year. It sars Bobby Hill's daughter. The movie was alright.
I agree on the movies I've seen with @storyteller. I haven't seen Alien and Aliens since I got a boxset but I plan on watching them back to back. Another franchise that's similar is that I love Terminator 2. T2 is just a fun movie to watch and the action still hold up.
Of the Dead:
OG Dawn of the Dead is one of my favorite movies ever. Been awhile since I've seen Day.
Hellraiser:
I watched 1 and 2 years apart a long time ago and I enjoyed 2 a lot. Need to rewatch to see which one I like more.
Friday the 13th:
The best movies in the series are Part 4: The Final Chapter, and Part 6: Jason Lives. Others might be better than the 1st but those are my favorites.
Nightmare on Elm Street:
I always go back and forth on if part 3 is better than the 1st.
Chucky:
The 2nd one is better. I'd watch Bride of Chucky anytime probably my favorite even though it isn't the best.
Leperchaun:
Any "In tha Hood" movies are for sure better than the 1st. I don't remember 2-4 like that. Last time I tried to watch part 1 I felt bored and I was
so that shouldn't have been the case. I had to turn the shyt off half way and watch something else.Not as Big Franchises:
- I like Devil's Rejects more than House of 1000 Corpses
- I think Warlock 2 is on par with the 1st movie. The amish hero from the 1st movie makes the OG better but the sequel does everything else better. If you like Wishmaster this movie is very similar.

I don't know what I was on when I watched that. I was watching it blind somehow and was like this shyt like The Shining
Then after the 2nd or 3rd scene with Danny I was like, "I don't know who this guy is but they should get him to do that Obi Wan Kenobi show if they get to it" I had to pause the movie on HBOmax and google it and I felt like an idiot

Who recommended Ava’s Possession? I found the movie at Dollar Tree some time back. Thought it was whatever.
