Two icons in the horror movie genre, which do you like more? Which did you find scarier? Who was the better villains, Michael Myers or Leatherface and his family?

Halloween. I like Texas Chainsaw massacre (The second one was even better IMO) but Halloween is better to me. Love both though.

Halloween was a better series, but the original Chainsaw Massacre from the 70's (73? 74?) was very very good - probably better then any Halloween movie individually, unfortunally the sequals and remakes were terrible.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre was the better film imo. And Leatherface is scarier than Michael. Also, TCM remake was better than the Halloween remake.

I think Halloween is scarier as the events are more realistic (obviously they're both fictional stories but the idea of a large psychopath killing people late at night is a lot more believable than a family of cannibals preying on wandering civilians).

Halloween is a much better series. John Carpenter>>any TCS movie.

Myers is far more creepier and scary than Jason or TCM.

The guy is just flat out evil, emotionless. Jason is just about revenge, lake all that and TCM just a psycho with a flesh mask and a chainsaw.

I've always found the Texas Chainsaw Massacre scarier, just because of Leatherface's look and gimmick, but I love Halloween.

The stoic look, and sheer relentlessness of Michael, the family drama, the Halloween night setting, its iconic theme, and my love for Dr. Loomis put Halloween way ahead of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre for me.

To be honest, I've always thought chainsaw was a bit overrated.

The original was very good. Felt VERY real thanks to the way it was filmed. Everything after it was...trash. Nothing but lame gore fests that other movies did better.

The original of both movies were definitely better than the newer incarnations, though I did like zombie's FIRST film. It brought more about Michael growing up, what made him turn into an evil monster. The original series just said he turned "evil" one day lol.

I think Zombie's Halloween ruined Michael imo. The whole reason he's scary is because it IS unexplained, one day, this normal kid just decides to kill his sister, he never showed any signs of aggression before that, never seemed weird. Zombie made his whole life a freakshow. His mom's a stripper, his step dad's abusive, he gets picked on in school, hell, /I'd/ become a serial killer if I had to deal with that sh*t.

It's also the reason I don't like any of the Halloween films past Part II. They try to describe how Michael is the way he is (with the Black Thorn cult). Nah, just keep him a mystery, I don't need to know why he's evil.

I didn't like the second one that white pony stuff was....dumb lol. The first one I thought wasn't bad I liked it because it showed more of him as a kid, not just the night he killed his sister, but what would drive a kid to do this.

But to each his own, i enjoyed both movies honestly. Zombie tried making him more "human" where as Carpenter was just this evil being some what.

It's like Zombie kind of did to Myers what Nolan did to Batman, put a more "realistic" tone to it which some people liked, others hated I can understand both views being a Halloween fan personally.

I know a lot of my friends who love Freddy hated that reboot, I thought it was alright. But you like the mysterious, creepy element as to why he's evil. That's cool, I liked both. I just didn't like the 5th movie as much and the second zombie movie wasn't a big fan of.
