Which character has the best movies/show?

I picked the wrong option....

The first NOES, TCM and Halloween are classics of horror cinema. My pick is the first NOES as it is still the only movie that actually scared me when I was a kid. I didnt sleep for 2 full nights.

I'm gonna go prematurely against the grain and say Ash Vs. Evil Dead, I'll be honest I had some idea of who Ash was, some guy with an air of confidence who's got a chainsaw strapped to his arm and a sawed off shotgun in his free hand, but I never watched any of the movies or the show up until that point. But when he showed up in Dead By Daylight I was infinitely more curious so I watched the show and some clips of the movies that came before it and it's up there on some of my favorite shows I've watched. It's so sad the third season was cancelled and Bruce Campbell said he'd never come back to the character again

But I mean, come on, how is this not badass:

If Scream was an option I definitely would have voted for Scream though, it was what got me into slasher films and horror to begin with. The MTV series was actually really, good imo and I wish they had continued the original story for a third season.

I liked Halloween 1, 2, H20 and the 2018 movie. The rest were eh.

Mikey will always be my favorite slasher boi.

Halloween is one of the most influential slasher movies as it basically gave birth to the modern day slasher

The score by John Carpenter is legendary

and the first movie didn't bludgeon you with gore, rather it build atmosphere whilst still having solid kills

It's lead is relatable, she's not overly confident but she is competent

and it gave us Michael Myers, the embodiment of evil

I don't see the "I like all of this" option

Halloween 1, 4, same 2018 were great movies IMO.

All the others were pretty bad/not really worth owning or watching more than once.

Stranger Things is pretty great, but in a different kind of way, being neither a pure horror experience (it reeks of 80s family sci-fi film - which is a good thing IMO) nor a film series.

That said, it puts significant detail and effort into every character and their interactions with each other; which is really nice to see in a genre (horror) that tends to treat people as meat (an act that also robs the horror of any, well, horror).

-

The Nightmare on Elm Street 2011 remake sucked. The only redeeming features were Kyle Gallner's performance as Quentin (who is also one of like three main characters that isn't more or less a copy of a character from the original, and he is the ONLY one that benefits from this, being much more interesting and involved then his counterpart Glen) and Jackie Earle Haley's performance as Freddy (despite not being Robert Englund, he does a very solid job as Freddy and does well with what he has to work with, which - unfortunately - is almost nothing).

-

The first TCM is a well designed film and a decent watch. I'm not dying to watch it again though, and I haven't heard anything good about successive films in the franchise.

The first Saw was great, but IMO the series should have stopped there. It was a very interesting, tense, and twisted horror movie with clever ideas.

The second one was okay, but it didn't improve or build on the first at all. And the end twist doesn't come as a shock - we're expecting it because it is exactly what happened in the first film. There are more deaths, but the movie only suffers from that - the larger cast is more or less unlikable and expendable. Sadly, the only characters of interest are the antagonists.

I never saw (hee hee) the third film or any successive ones besides the beginning and middle of Jigsaw (which I turned off before the end because I found it boring). But from what I've heard of the series it descends even further into being gorn with 'twists' and subverted chronology - both of which only occur because that's what the first film did.

I've never seen Ash vs. Evil Dead; but the first Evil Dead was okay and Bruce Campbell is great.
