magisme Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Definitely Halloween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 For the original movies it's definitely Halloween but after that the sequels were probably about on par once they became shit. I did rather enjoy Jason X though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzygirl Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Friday the 13th was a bit of a letdown when I first watched it. I blame Kevin Bacon. Halloween is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damn_Smooth Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Based on first movie alone, or as a series? One of them made it to 11 movies without a reboot, the other made it to 7. Therefore, Jason curbstomps the shit out of Micheal. First movie only I have to give to neither. One ends in a cliffhanger and fuck Jason's mom.

Guest Len B'stard Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Halloween is not only superior to Friday the 13th but it's one of the best horror movies ever, full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luciusfunk Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Friday the 13th Parts 1-4 do not suck.1 and 2 were terrible. The only others I've seen were Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Nay, Friday the 13th Part 2 is the best of the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 The first Halloween over the first Friday, easily. The sequels are a case by case basis, and Friday might actually (just barely) have the numbers there. Michael Myers is a vastly superior boogeyman, though. Jason is a spaz.

bran Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Are the Halloween remakes worth watching?the first one is alright, it keeps some of the same big scenes of the original, but it adds a whole different back story on michaels childhood. it is solid, not bad, but not great.as for the second one, it is weird, it has parts of the original second film,but really has some weird moments.

Angelica Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Are the Halloween remakes worth watching?They're both terrible, but the second one is so randomly terrible, and so defiantly proud of what batshit nonsense it is, that it's sort of worth watching as a curio. Especially if you're high. The first one almost seems like Zombie made all (literally ALL) the wrong moves on purpose, to illustrate the brilliance of the original. I'm assuming that wasn't his intent, but godamn if it doesn't play like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 There are twenty two films (including remakes and reboots) between them and - by miles - the greatest film from the bunch is the original Halloween. In a sense though, as a franchise, Friday the 13th is the more successful once the film makers swiftly began playing it 'for laughs'. You know the scenario? Teenagers go into woods havings sex and drinking and being obnoxious (which is generally what teenagers do). Jason comes along and hacks them to pieces in as many ingenious ways as possible. Throw in some campy humour and a 1980s 'cock rock' soundtrack and it was a very successful formula. In contrast, the Halloween sequels never really established a formula or even any sort of idea of direction - a case in point by III: Season of the Witch. The Halloween sequels merely seem to exist to prove that the original was so much better and so much superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
