To put the above post in perspective. I also watched the Halloween movies entirely. If I ranked the two franchises into one list it would look like this:
(F = Friday 13th,
H = Halloween)
1: H 1
2: H 2
3: H 4
4: H20 (H 7)
5: F 2
6: F 4
7: F 1
8: H 5
9: F 9
10: H 8
11: F 10
12: H 6
13: F 7
14: F 6
15: F 3
16: F 5
17: F 8
I didn't put Halloween 3 in the list as it's a complete different movie (would have ended in place 7, just above Friday 1) and I need to watch the Nightmare on Elmstreet movies again to see where they end in this franchise list
