The Purge: Election Year was good but I think I like Anarchy the best by a smidge of that series.

Having gone through the Blade series recently I'd probably say I enjoyed Blade II a tad more than the original though both are pretty much on par for me. But yeah, I'd pick Blade II as my favorite.

With anthologies I remembered the Goosebumps TV show. It was hit and miss, and many of the later episodes were especially lame and goofy, but in the first couple of seasons there were a fair number of good episodes. IMO the best is The Werewolf Of Fever Swamp which was actually rather scary and intense by the usual standards of the show, which is saying a lot considering how silly it got later on.
