4 Reddit-Approved Horror Trilogies for a Creepy Late-Night Marathon

Movie marathons are cool, but the best horror franchises ever made are just a pitch-perfect choice for them. Sequels can often disappoint enjoyers of the original films; luckily, here we have such triples that will keep you on edge till the end of the third chapter.

Here are 4 of the most well-built horror trilogies, recommended by Reddit.

1. Halloween

Original trilogy: Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

First are the iconic movies primarily focusing on the bloody exploits of Michael Myers, whose relentless killings occur on the holiday of Halloween. Although the third movie has no connection with two previous ones, three of them still make a perfect choice for night-binging.

The trilogy radiates a strong and nostalgic atmosphere of not only Halloween, the darkest day of the year, but the whole decade of the 1980s.

2. The Evil Dead

Original trilogy: The Evil Dead (1981), Evil Dead II (1987), Army of Darkness (1992)

“Evil Dead is not only the greatest horror trilogy, but maybe one of the greatest trilogies of any genre period,” says Redditor @FadedSirens.

Yes, it definitely stands out because it offers the most twist-full and frightening movie experience that you can even have. The trilogy’s campfire scares and sudden gruesome deaths can catch every horror lover off guard, and we’re not talking about the perfectly-written characters’ arcs.

3. Alien

Original trilogy: Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), Alien 3 (1992)

45 years ago, Ridley Scott set the bar really high for the subgenre of science fiction horrors with the first Alien movie. The whole trilogy assembles unique monster designs and the unexpected turns on the protagonists’ way to beat Xenomorphs. The success of these movies helped the franchise remain relevant for more than forty years, with its recent installment, Alien: Romulus, coming this summer.

4. Fear Street

Original trilogy: Fear Street Part One, Two, Three (all 2021)

Finally, we have three movies that are set in different timelines and were written and shot back-to-back, and it definitely added to the trilogy making a strong impression even to the genre’s veterans.

“It makes for a satisfying trilogy with good consistency and cohesion, and the mystery element is maintained and developed throughout the whole trilogy until a pretty good reveal and conclusion,” concludes @Wiitard about it.
