New Nightmare was a pretty awesome film. 10x better than Freddy's Dead. A lot better than Friday the 13th's final film (except F vs J), Jason Goes to Hell... god that sucked!!!!!!
Alien series was really good as well. Wasn't a fan of the Blade series, although I really like Ryan Reynolds character in Trinity.

I agree with Matthew C. on most of his points and ranking percentage wise. Except for Evil Dead. In my mind even if all 3 Evil Dead films work I dont think any of them are great.I also think the 4 Psycho films work to at least some extent.
My vote for best horror Series would probably Romero's Dead films.

I hated Scream 3, but I think there's a lot of unfair criticism of Scream 2. I had anticipated a typically awful horror sequel, but was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it was. Others have mentioned some good examples with Evil Dead and Night of the Living Dead. But I would certainly group Scream in with those as one of the few horror films that actually had a great sequel - and that's a very short list.

Jason X is Friday the 13th's final film. And, for the record, it is worse than Jason Goes to Hell.

The original is the freshest of the series, as is usually the case, and damn it, it should be the best, but I find the other two a little more purely entertaining, for some reason. I think original drags at times. The sequels never drag for me.

I'm honestly surprised Dimension had the restraint to wait even this long to continue this franchise, considering the slew of direct-to-video Hellraiser/Crow/Children of the Corn/Prophecy/Mimic/etc. sequels they've churned out. Although I've noticed this practice has scaled back now that Dimension is no longer part of Disney.

Jason X sucked so f**king bad it that it shouldn't even be considered a movie. What the hell was up with the whole modified Jason crap thing. LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*edit - I stand corrected. Apparently there have been two spinoff movies called the Crow: Purgatory and the Crow: Purgatory II that slipped under my radar. I watched the trailer for II and it looked laughably bad.

Re: Scream 4 Greenlit?!?
Got Some Updates
Kevin Williamson has been writing on his twitter lately "writing s4" and "its a sequel, not a remake".
I'm kinda getting a little excited. I'm not going to lie.

Re: Scream 4 Greenlit?!?
Wes Craven talks about how he's taking a neutral stance at the moment.
Sounds like he's waiting for a script to say anything. Smart move. But still his involvement could easily make or break this film...

Re: Scream 4 Greenlit?!?
I haven't enjoyed anything Craven's name has been on since the first Scream in 1996. I enjoyed the sequels quite a bit but I don't remember how involved he was with those.
I'd gladly welcome a fourth film if it was decent.
