Of 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 Sinister 2 coming out and on it's way to becoming a new series.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974 original)
Halloween (1978 original)
Alien (1979 original)
Friday the 13th (2009-unrated version)
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984 original)
Child's Play (the original)
Scream, with Scream 2 barely falling short.
Final Destination 5
Saw (the original)
Paranormal Activity 3
Insidious (the original)

Also:
The Hills Have Eyes (2006) and The Last House on the Left (2009) are far superior than their originals.

The Hills Have Eyes is a good addition.
