This round is a tough one! Each franchise's third instalment deserves three points. Friday the 13th part 3 in 3D delivered unapologetic eye-opening and eye-popping third dimensional treats which I couldn't get enough of (despite the somewhat flimsy script and largely one dimensional cardboard characters) when it opened. Still to this day my favourite 3D film.
Then the truly left field third Halloween offering sans-Myers, with it's marvellously ludicrous evil toymaker plot and the most annoyingly catchy jingle ever committed to celluloid.
And finally, Freddy's three-ring circus of (truly special) effects set-pieces, and Zsa Zsa Gabor!
For sheer unadulterated pleasure it would have to be Friday the 13th in 3D, but for uniqueness and bold audacity I'm going to (reluctantly) place it third behind 'the bastard son of a hundred maniacs' and Conal Cochran, which still retain their respective qualities when viewed in 2D...
Running scores after 3 rounds:
Nightmare on Elm Street 7
Halloween 6
Friday the 13th 5
