The 7th film in any given series

I was thinking about Cult of Chucky, and what a good job they did with it. There's a review floating around, somewhere out there in the ether of the internet, which rhetorically asks how it is possible for the seventh film in any horror series to be THAT good. I mean, jeez, it's a lot better than it had to be, right?!?

Anyway, that review got me thinking, and right off the bat I thought of several horror series in which the seventh film was actually one of the better ones in whatever the series is. Just the most obvious ones that came to mind, from the best known series, are often very respectable. Friday the 13th part 7, Halloween H20, and Wes Craven's New Nightmare are all actually not bad at all, in different ways. People could argue about whether Halloween H20 is so great, but hey, Jamie Lee did her job well, so that should count for something. In the Child's Play, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween franchises, they all tried to sort of get back to the basics of whatever the franchise is about, in part seven of whatever the franchise is.

Even in Friday the 13th part 7... we have talked about this here before, or on IMDB... no one would argue that F13 part 7 really gets back to the basics, because, Jason versus Carrie?!?!?!?!? Come on. But, in a funny way, it does capture the heart of what the series has become about, more completely than many other films in the series, which is to say: zombie/whatever Jason in a hockey mask, stalking through the woods, at night, hacking up any young people in the vicinity who are engaging in sex, drugs, or just breathing too much.

But I digress. I guess there aren't that many horror series that have even made it to seven films, but can anyone think of any other series in which the seventh film was actually pretty damn good? Anything come to mind? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
