Favorite Horror Series

[The Road Virus]

What/who is your favorite horror series/killer? I'm sorry if I left out any ones that our peoples's favorite but I tried to cover the most popular/iconic ones

[beam*seeker]

I voted for Nightmare because it really scared teh piss outta me when I was all of say, 12 or 13 years old.

Freddy got my vote, but I love all those series (well maybe not Chucky)

Went for Halloween, but only because of the first movie.
Carpenter did an amazing job.

Hm...but then again, I loved the first Nightmare as well....
Oh well, Halloween it is.

I, too, went with Halloween, because of the first two films. I remember being absolutely stunned when I realized that the sequel was the same night as the first.

Of the choices offered, I'd have to go with Michael Myers. The character just radiated doom. No snappy quips, no trademarked sound effect, just crap-your-pants dread.

I'd like to give honorable mention to Pinhead of Clive Barker's Hellraiser series though.

[Adumbros]

First character I thought of when i read the topic Ric although personally my most iconic would be not a single character but rather the ensemble of the Puppet Master's brood

[The Road Virus]

I voted Nightmare, I watched and loved all of them growing up (even F vs J) but Halloween was a close second. I know probably no one would agree with me but Halloween IV was actually my favorite (after that I feel like it went downhill), I liked the ending and Meyers creepiness factor the whole movie. But Freddy will always be king, he can get you in your dreams

[Jimimck]

Totally agree with the comments about Halloween. Michael didn't piss around with one liners etc, and just gotcha!
And of course I loved it every time Loomis screamed "He's alive!"

Have to say, I loved Rob Zombies remake. I wish he had of done the Nightmare remake....

[The Road Virus]

Yeah, I did not see the Nightmare remake and really have no inclination to after what i have heard about it.

[Heather19]

Mike Myers. Definitely the creepiest, especially while doing very little.

[Jimimck]

Oh special mention needs to go to the Evil Dead series. Whilke not the "bad guy" killer, Ash was still one of the best characters in a horror movie series....

"Yo she-bitch, lets go"

Hell technically it wasn't even a "remake", it was a TRUE ripoff. Craven himself admitted as such; you can find stories all over the web. the new director ripped off Craven's original script character for character scene for scene line for line with the sole exception of changing FK from a killer to a molester, which is like telling a guy that "your plan sucked, you should've gone with your original idea". Craven confesses to being outraged, forcing New Line to remove his name and all association to him from the film, and suing everyone directly associated with the production for plagiarism. Hollywood has never experienced a more blatant plagiarism nor greater backlash by a purist fan base (literally every single fan of the original i've spoken to was FURIOUS about the "molester" bit), nor is it known for such, as the books-butchered-by-their-film-counterparts adaptations would deduce. Although it's quite obvious the idiot who fucked up the golden goose would be an ideal choice for any future book-to-film adaptation
