I also have Halloween (1978), Candyman (original and all sequels), Slumber Party Massacre (original and remake), Friday the 13th (original and all sequels), The Conjuring 1&2, all 3 Annabelle movies, The Omen (original, sequels, and remake), Frankenstein (all 8 films in the original series), Paranormal Activity (first 6 films), all the Final Destination movies, and several other horror films. What about you?
