I still need to see the Blind Dead series.

Another series I remembered and one more obscure is Xtro. I've only seen the original, it's two sequels are totally unrelated despite the title as well as having the same director back. But the original is one of the weirdest movies ever and feels like an amalgamation of every weird, nonsensical dream you've ever had in movie form. Here's a sampling of just how incredibly bizarre and WTF this movie is (fair warning these may be fairly graphic and NSFW):

Critters is another series I forgot, it's been so long since I last watched them. I can't remember if 1 or 2 was my favorite.

Think I mentioned Jurassic Park before. Not sure if it counts as Horror. I consider the series Horror-y in a way. In any case, the original is very easily the best. The upcoming Fallen Kingdom looks to embrace the more Horror and monster movie aspects of the series.

The recent Halloween was awesome and one of my favorites of the series, but Carpenter's original will always be the best to me.

It certainly counts as sci-fi.

I like the original.  Don't care for the rest.

Looking on the Hellraiser series, I think my new favorite is Hellraiser III, though I've yet to finish with the series (seen up to Hellseeker, which is the sixth film).

Hellraiser III is a super rad film.

How rad? I love the first one and had heard from quite a few people that II was even better. I decided to call it a day on the series after watching II, due to my dislike of it. But if III is a gem I've been avoiding I'd gladly get back on that horse.

Rad as a gosh darn, heck! That rad. 😁🤟
