Currently brainstorming a thesis on how Scream and New Nightmare are both perfect meta horrors that were death knells for the slasher genre, but both spawned two distinct family trees of modern (or post-modern I suppose) horror. I've had a few drinks, so I'll probably forget all about it in the morning.

Basebf555 posted:Yea definitely if you're just gonna watch one make it Exorcist II. Exorcist II is a fine movie on par with some of the post-Exorcist "The Exorcism of______"-esque movies. It just looks bad in comparison to the original because it's a little bit cheesy.

I would enjoy seeing a more granular bracket sometime though, as opposed to just "anything Universal made in the 30s" vs. "anything Hammer made that's analogous to what Universal made". I get why we can't have like 6+ entries from each in this bracket, but it is a bit broad the way it is.

TCM beats Halloween for me, but it's a close one and entirely personal experience-based. TCM was the first horror movie I ever saw (in 4th grade because I got the VHS from the library and the librarian apparently wasn't paying attention to what I was getting? And I have no idea why it was at my tiny town's library in the first place?) and informed my horror preferences for my entire life. The first film is, no hyperbole, a masterpiece. Every shot, every interaction, it's an absolute master class in filmmaking and sound design. It's hard to think about legacy in terms of these two franchises though. It seems like every movie that I really love (grimy slashery murder horror) is an absolute combination of both TCM and Halloween in its genetic makeup. BUT, when I really stop to think of it, I think most of what I love pulls more from giallo than Americanized slashers. And for that...... I have to give it to TCM. Hannibal-verse beats Tremors. This one's easy for me. SotL, Manhunter, good lord the incredible TV show. I mean, gently caress, the movie entered the cultural zeitgeist for a GENERATION, and the TV show is hands down one of the best of its DECADE. No contest for me. Freddy beats Scream, but it's also a close one. I think they're both equally good in their own ways, but I don't think we'd have the Scream franchise without the Nightmare franchise. For that, and for the fact that I just LOVE the Freddy movies to death, it gets my vote. Evil Dead beats Hellraiser, but... ugh I hate to do it. drat it, these choices are getting really hard to make. Hellraiser holds an incredibly dear place in my heart, but Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness were touchstones of my youth, and then the Evil Dead remake is one of the best horror remakes I've seen. Hellraiser had a good first movie and a decent second movie, but that's it. And I think Evil Dead is far more influential in horror than Hellraiser was. I dunno, this one's all gut feeling for me. If anything, they were tied until I thought of the Evil Dead remake.

Killed a lot of good will I had towards the guy. Yeah it seemed like the whole Nightmare remake just didn't... Get Freddy. Or didn't like Freddy? I dunno, it's so weird.

The 2010 remake focusing on the pedo angle is particularly gross when we have 20+ years of ex-post-facto knowledge of how Freddy became a cartoon caricature of himself - kid's toys, talk show appearances, a prime time TV show, collaborations with rappers, etc. He's no longer just "a villain monster in a movie made for adults", he's part of the cultural zeitgeist, and loved by kids (even if they're not aware of some of the darker parts of his backstory), so choosing to focus on those gross dark parts of his backstory is an awful choice. I'm not saying horror movie villains shouldn't be despicable, I'm just saying that Freddy is a unique cultural touchstone in that regard.

Evil Dead 2 is practically (loosely) a remake of the first movie. It hits all the same beats. But even still, I think it's a better movie than Dawn of the Dead. My votes equaled out to 2 vs. 2, so... excited to see what happens. Better franchise: Romero Better gore: Romero Better sequel: Evil Dead Better remake: Evil Dead
