OTish - Best Film In a Horror Series

f the following Horror movie series with at least three or more installments, pick your single favorite movie in each. Remakes, prequels and crossovers count in any series with them as your favorite if it is. Add more series if you'd like too, I just listed some of the major ones for now. Thought this would be fun to share with a new Evil Dead film out, even if it's been well over a year.

Okay, there will be a lot of ties. And I actually can open my mind to enjoy remakes on their own terms, because a lot are actually very well-constructed and have great production values. They are overlooked.

Friday The 13th - Part 2 & 2009
Halloween - Original, H20, & 2007
A Nightmare On Elm Street - Original, New Nightmare, & 2010
Saw - 2
Scream - 4
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - 2003
Evil Dead - 2013
Child's Play - Curse of Chucky
Final Destination - 5
Paranormal Activity - 3
Jaws - Original
Insidious - Chapter 3
Poltergeist - Original

I assume you mean the original Final Destination?

Watched The Blade trilogy recently and am unsure if I liked 1 or 2 the best, both were excellent.

Saw the Blade films pretty recently and am unsure whether the first or second was my favorite, both are excellent.
