The way I see it of the films remaining we can divide them into three groups:

The classics (The Shining, An American Werewolf in London, Poltergeist, The Thing, The Dead Zone, Gremlins, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Fly, Evil Dead II, Predator, Beetlejuice)

The acclaimed but potentially divisive due to their nature (Possession, Videodrome, Phenomena, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer)

The well received but not huge critical hits (The Changeling, Christine, Re-Animator, Fright Night, Hellraiser)

Looking at those groups, the classics should be safe. In the second group, Phenomena is both not as well received as the other three and just as weird, so I would say it is the most likely to go next. For the rest it seems like Christine, Re-Animator or Fright Night and of those Christine probably has the coolest general reception. So to me it should be either Phenomena or Christine next and I think Christine sounds right.

On Creepshow, if it wasnt obvious from my writeup:

Something to Tide You Over>The Crate>Theyre Creeping Up On You>Fathers Day>The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill

Great Leslie Nielsen performance here and not surprised to see him get mentioned a lot. I had a lot of fun with this one and felt it used the pulp comic aesthetic well. The first two shorts werent great but it did win me over with the rest.
