Evil Dead and IT.

[@ChibiProwl]

Insidious, Halloween, The Conjuring, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and Final Destination.

[@aio3622]

Where is saw series And terrifier series 😭

[@myikazuki7016]

Don't fall asleep!!! Freddy Krueger will kill you!!!😈

[@liambutler4619]

I'm amazed dat Texas chainsaw massacre wasn't number 1

[@robertbouley7697]

‘Evils Dead’ isn’t trying to reinvent itself. You know pretty much what you’re going to get. But the presentation and deliver are so well done that it remains my favorite horror series to this day.

[@kyleclark7442]

Most recent one sucked.

[@andygish3461]

I liked the most recent one. I thought it was great.

[@robertbouley7697]

@@kyleclark7442 I was impressed with the visuals and atmosphere. I’m also very partial to their formula and easter eggs.

[@QuestNation3221]

There is no such thing as a bad evil dead film. Same with Scream. Evil Dead and Scream are the most consistent in quality in the horror franchise.

[@mikedelvalle931]

​@@QuestNation3221 Scream 3 is trash. But still, having that many good movies in a series is impressive.

[@markzuckergecko621]

I've noticed over the years that mystery is a key element to what makes most scary movies actually scary. That's why most franchises get tired, and less scary as time goes on, we just know too much about Michael Myers at this point, he's not as scary as he was when there was still the aura of mystery.

[@l.m.a.9861]

One thing I love about Evil Dead is that the franchise is pretty popular among horror movie lovers, and yet, they haven't done it to death like they do with most franchises nowadays. We get an Evil Dead movie once every decade or more.

[@ChibiProwl]

No Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street or Insidious!? 😮Blasphemy!😮

[@legendarygodzilla1234]

Fr I was traumatized when I watched insidious

[@Afterasilence]

Insidious has long lost its ability to scare.

[@ladykoiwolfe]

Evil Dead is definitely my favorite. Nightmare on Elm St is my second favorite. I got to grow up with Freddy and Ash. I like comedy in my horror. Freddy is my favorite horror villain, but Ash is my favorite hero. I remember watching Night of the Living Dead and I think I fell asleep before the end. I usually do if it's just straight horror. I need some comedy thrown in, even if it's just dark humor.

[@BigFella117]

Evil Dead Rise was an excellent addition to the franchise, can’t wait to see where it goes from there.

[@zachwillas6329]

A Nightmare on Elm Street isn't on here? BLASPHEMY!!

[@user-zl3uf8jd3q]

I agree

[@williamsummerson1204]

IT 2017, Evil Dead 2013 and Evil Dead Rise are definitely my favorite movies in all these franchises.

[@myikazuki7016]

I think 2013 better than Rise, 2013 was so underrated.

[@Bostonnick34]

To be young again lol

[@martinde-serres8724]

Scream 5 is NOT a requel as it references the first 4 movies a plenty and is a direct sequel to them. It actually comments on requels to legacy franchises and the emergence of the elevated horror subgenre.

[@ScarysReviews]

there's no such thing as Elevated horror, scream 5 remakes many scenes from the original. it;s a dumb entry, only good part, David Arquette's performance.

[@brandonscott5544]

FINAL DESTINATION SCARY

[@jessiesmyth1949]

Requel means reboot/sequel, not remake. It's a sequel that comes out many years after the last instalment, so yes, Scream 5 is a requel.

[@martinde-serres8724]

@@jessiesmyth1949 it's a sequel, not a remake or a reboot a requel is a sequel to at least 1 movie and ditches the other sequels as part of an entire different continuity is Scream 5 a requel to Scream 1? no, it's a sequel to all 4 movies as it referenced them a plenty Halloween 2018 is a requel to the OG Halloween from 1978 Superman Returns is a requel to Superman 2 did you even watched the entire Scream series, dipshit? of course not cause if you did, you wouldn't have replied such a dumb comment

0:27 The Conjuring 1:40 Friday the 13th 2:59 it 4:12 Invisible man 5:20 final destination 6:33 child's play 7:50 Candyman Night of the living dead Scream

[@emiliobello2538]

What about Halloween?

[@TeamRemForever]

I started watching the Scream franchise for the first time last week, and the first one is now one of my favorite horror movies!

[@M24071]

scream and evil dead pop up very decade and ends up improving and i love them both so much

[@kayenicolle]

Finally giving Final Destination the flowers it deserves! ❤

[@Thedude8450]

Cant believe we are getting a #6😃

[@saywhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat]

Except the host talks smack the whole time! Final Destinations are def modern horror classics

[@jedediah5688]

Linda’s severed head:…“ even now we have your darling, Linda’s soul… She suffers in torment”.. Ash: “you’re going down!”

[@Cytron1515]

How could U forget A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise? Also Night of the Demons as well.

[@Demaad]

If there’s an Evil Dead sequel, I hope it has Beth and Kassie meet with Ash Williams and Mia Allen (2013 Evil Dead) and they team up to destroy the Deadites for good (Similar to Scream 5-6 and Escape Room 2). In the end, they succeed but Beth dies along with Mia (who goes out like a badass with her one arm) and maybe Ash too, leaving Kassie as the sole survivor

[@Argash317]

Sadly Ash the Character is retired as Bruce Campbell isn't playing him anymore. They tried with Ash vs The Evil Dead but it didn't take off and the lack of monetary support caused it to be canceled and Bruce after that said no more.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Childs play still got it

[@theoriginalbunnygirl]

No Nightmare on Elm Street as even a mention on this list? The most iconic horror franchise ever!

[@elia2422]

Have you seen No Nightmare on Elm Street recently ? I laugh more than I was afraid.

[@theoriginalbunnygirl]

@@elia2422 what is that, some kind of movie?

[@TimmyD3085]

I am so bummed that they never made a Friday the 13th sequel to the remake. I hope they make a new one soon

[@kellykountouris7193]

Me, too! I loved the Friday the 13th remake! I thought it was done really well. Actually, I also thought the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street was pretty great, too. I love how it fleshed out all the characters' backstories instead of just hearing Nancy's mom tell Nancy he was a child killer. It made more sense in the remake. I think I'm in the minority on that one, though lol

[@Jamaicanchic25]

Honorable mentions Halloween, Exorcist, Texas chainsaw massacre, nightmare on elm Street, leprechaun 😁

[@chrissiebrewer3271]

What about the Ring/Ringu franchise

[@aiden417]

The Halloween franchise and Alien franchise should've been on here. I know Alien's more action, but it's also horror.

[@DarkcIoud1111.]

I have never understood how anyone could take the Child's Play series seriously. In one movie they managed to capture him in a playpen and only escaped because of a ring that was dropped in. The main villain is literally a doll, so his kills make sense when the characters don't know he is alive, but make no sense when he is chasing them or they find out. Chucky can't even open a door without a step-ladder.

[@novadyaomah3168]

Where is Saw?

[@Shadowace724]

Evil Dead is my favorite. Evil Dead the Musical is amazing as well!

[@alyzu4755]

The musical is great! 😍

[@Gor85]

Scream series is fantastic😁 Watched 4. Haven't seen the rest yet😊IT is terrifying. Haven't seen it. I remember parts of Evil Dead. I was little. Friday the 13th probably has 15 sequels by now😂 Great video😀

[@bjorndamrong3289]

Hi Kirsten have a great week and day love your voice 😍

[@CarlosRamirez-nv9pb]

The Original It🤡 movie is still scary af and the new Evil dead’s are scary too 😱

[@aaronlee2k03]

CANT lie the 2017 one takes it 😂

[@LovetheLuvRecords]

The fact that you guys didn't mention Halloween is DAUNTING

[@angelab904]

I'm sorry but that groan at 9:50 has me 😂😂😂😂.

[@Devious_Reviews]

6:15 ~ there's a lawsuit if I ever witnessed one. Contractor: Tempered panes on the fourth floor as usual, sir? Architect: Actually, we're close to budget so what's the cheapest you have? Contractor: There's some leftover float glass from another project we did but it's not exactly-- Architect: PERFECT, let's make it happen! (sketch, sketch, scribble)

[@stephenjacewicz4594]

Also Paranormal Activity, Wrong Turn, and The All Hallows Eve/Terrifier Universe.

[@eydanherrera_07]

Wrong turn is so underrated bro

[@mr.decencykeepinitreal6348]

The entire ‘Friday the 13th’ franchise deserves better.

[@datnguyen-ob6gn]

ngl, I was expecting SAW to be somewhere on the list

[@DG-rb7bo]

Same , however the one just out is absolutely terrible

[@MaxStarScream]

Scream 3 is great. For me, Scream 4 is the weakest as Jill is one of my least favorite Ghostface killers.

[@OttoPrentice]

How did saw not make the list

[@ROCKONplaceboforever]

Good list 👏

[@7amart177]

The VHS series is way better than the paranormal activity series

[@jefyanke8168]

Final Destination was my favorite and gave me nightmares. Ive been waiing for the next one to come out but no one can seem to make it.

[@DarkcIoud1111.]

I'm still nervous when driving behind any kind of large truck carrying anything that could fall off.

[@jefyanke8168]

Where are all of the horror movies on regular TV? Friday the 13th came and went without any horror movie on regular TV. Bummer!! Let's hope Halloween gets one!!

[@abellewis3062]

Scream is my favorite horror franchise. Enough said.

[@louisechristy9097]

The A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise is way better than Friday the 13th.

[@FreddyKrueger744]

I would have put A Nightmare On Elm Street at number one.

[@untillthat]

"Now the future for Scream is brighter than ever..." Oh man how quickly things have changed... I hope this is still true...

[@benjaminwilson2998]

Evil dead really sells it with those colored contacts especially when the character stares at the screen 📺

[@Daniel-nn8mr]

Evil Dead Rise was awesome as fuck, the gore, makeup effects and everything what you'd expect from the series is just so metal.

[@AdamEspersona]

Scream 5 is NOT A REQUEL. Epic fail calling it that because it still continues the established story of all the past films.

[@SJsChronicles]

Terrifier 3 is on my radar to see that this franchise has a future in gore horror

Top 20 horror movie villains' origins

[@SketchFlygirl]

Dunno how they could determine which franchise is better. Missin' Resident Evil, The Omen, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween

[@kazuallykunfuzed]

We're not talking about iconic movies here. Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Child's Play, Halloween, Hellraiser, all these big movies that turned into comedies over time. This video is for the great examples of IT and Evil Dead and Scream that got better their sequels.

[@sharennyberg7795]

No Halloween franchise? I am amazed

How could you forget the invisible man with Kevin Bacon 😮

[@crystalshaw8744]

The Scream franchise is my favorite because it had a mixture of horror and comedy and also it scared the ish out of me.

[@Joey7Z7Horror]

Final Destination definitely is a horror classic by "any stretch of the imagination". Yall clearly aint meet me

[@TheWillow1979]

Totally agree with evil dead the first one was scary as

[@JBM1428]

Friday the 13th is my favorite franchise, but Evil dead is really all hits no misses. Have to give it respect for that

[@AlexysB]

The Living Dead series is my favourite coupled with Chucky....although the latest Evil Dead was REALLY gory and I've always liked the first three originals.

[@corbz273]

12:15 Evil Dead 2 is not a remake

[@jsmith3946]

they said half remake and half sequel lean to listen

[@myikazuki7016]

Don't fall asleep!!! Freddy Krueger will kill you!!!😈

[@dcg425]

I’ve always said the Evil Dead is the best horror franchise ever created. 5 movies, 1 tv series, countless graphic novels/comics and not one of them is considered bad or worst

[@msoi215]

So "Hellraiser" franchise didn't even get mentioned?

[@Slim451]

That 2021 version of Candyman sucked. It was not good. It was bad. It was terrible. It didn't even feel like a Candyman movie. It felt like a social criticism movie with "Candyman" sprinkled in there to try to keep it about him. Just bad.

[@naomilindberg2328]

Is Saw not a horror franchise? 😮

[@sidneytheissmm]

The conjuring at #10 is a CRIME.

[@Rodeo_Wizard]

WHAT??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How come V/H/S, Paranormal Activity, and Hellraiser franchises aren't on this list???????????????????? This is a total injustice. Maybe, this video should be a top 20 list instead of a top 10.

there is talks about another final destination movie in the works

[@AKWolf24]

Candyman 2 Farewell to the Flesh was pretty good

[@CodyFairlessLee]

Honestly, I’m not much of a horror person, but I did like THE INVISIBLE MAN (2020). I can imagine in a couple of years, this list will be updated when FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S gets a movie franchise of it’s own.
