I'm going to say Friday the 13th, even though it has the weakest original movie. Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Hellraiser by far have the best movies out of any of them, but the sequels to both a god awful (and the remakes of Texas blow). Actually, Hellraiser 2 is alright, the space on sucks though.

puppet master is pretty hilarious an awesome though

Hellraiser was the scariest.

I left out Zombie movies and Evil Dead because they would obviously win.

Hellraiser was the scariest.

and had the coolest plot, at least before the later movies made it retarded

Texas had the advantage of looking like an actual snuff film though and compacting massive amounts of carnage into a like 64 minute film.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre RULES. A totally chilling movie. And where's Evil Dead???? That movie has so much heart and passion.

I'm going with Child's Play as that's the only movie on the list that recently had any relevence in my life as I used to have a co-worker who was terrified of Chucky and it made teasing her very easy.

I'm a big hellraiser fan. Clive Barker is the scariest gay guy I know.

Servants to "Leviathan", 'Cenobites' are demons, unholy creatures without values of decency or goodness. Hideous physical appearance, being totally unnatural [e.g. metals and certain devices run throughout their flesh] and wearing mutilated shells of what once were living beings, of what they once were. In effect a cenobite is the physical manifestation of soul desiccation and enevitably thievery - stolen bodies carrying a demonic interior, imprisoning the host's soul. Their vein systems are fully purged sucking all blood and bodily fluids from the 'shell'.

All Cenobites are "explorers" of pain and extreme sensation or ill feeling i.e pain. However may it be noted, through no choice of their own. There is no turning back for the Cenobite unless confronted with it's past self, which may only happen to Cenobites of the EXPLORER kind, who travel to other REALMS to bring beings back with them who open the doorway between the two realms; through the use of the "Lament Configuration". A puzzle box with higher consequence other than self-indulgence.

sure beats "pedophile gets burnt in oven, haunts dreams," or "kid drowns at camp, machetes people," for complexity
