Michael Myers has been stalking Haddonfield since 1978, Freddy Krueger has died and come back more times than most actors get sequels, and Pennywise still crawls out of a Derry storm drain every 27 years. This hub covers the long-running horror series that built those icons, from Halloween and Scream to Saw, The Conjuring, Alien and It. It is for anyone trying to work out where to start, what to skip, and why these characters refuse to stay dead.
Release order versus chronological order for each series, with clear guidance on which reboots, remakes and requels actually count.

Honest assessments of every entry, from the undisputed classics to the sequels most fans pretend never happened.
