The evil dead "trilogy". The original is more or less a straight horror movie, with the second being a slightly more loose horror with intentional comedy notes. The third is full on batshit crazy Ash, and I love it despite it not being scary in any way.

I'm not knocking the horror classics, but for whatever reason, the first evil dead just works for me in a way that very little else does. A lot of it is the sound, I think. The way it's mixed makes everything surreal, which bypasses my usual film geek filter where I'm enjoying how something was done as much or more than the end result with horror. At least, I think that's what it is. But it's one of the rare horror movies I can watch and get a little creeped out by.

If comedy horror is alllowed then:

Tremors II: Aftershocks. Peak of the series, although 1 and 3 are also good.

Love me Burt and giant worm gibs.

Was going to say Evil Dead. It starts off played so straight, but everyone kinda leaned into the ridiculous as they filmed and by the end it can't really be called anything but iconic. Everything came together brilliantly. I also love the recaps at the beginning of 2 and 3.

The TV show wasn't bad. I went into it with low expectations but the casting was perfect and the plot was just enough to keep things moving. Very much in the spirit of the trilogy.

The 2013(?) reboot legit left me feeling uncomfortable. It used the Evil Dead setting, but the tone was deadly serious. I talked my spouse (horror-averse) into watching the originals and she loved them. She noped out less than 5 minutes into the reboot. And that was the right call for her. I only gave it one watch and I'm not sure it'll get another. Even though it deviated from the tone of the originals it was wildly successful at being a legit horror movie.

Yeah, I've put off watching the reboot because I want to like it as pure horror, but I really think that without that slight cheese factor that even the first one had, it's going to fall flat for me.

I could be wrong, so I'll eventually watch it though.
