Discussion

throwaway72076: Jason went to space. Friday in B is generous.

LizEats: Elm Street > Halloween > Friday. Freddy is the best villain of the three and New Nightmare holds up.

TheFalcon: exorcist is one great movie and a pile of sequels

RealMango420: No Evil Dead? Most consistent horror franchise there is.
