There's also stuff like Halloween H20: 20 Years Later & Halloween: Resurrection, but those really require you to see the first two Halloween films from the late 70s/early 80s (the rest of the sequels are considered part of a separate continuity), as well as Jason X and Freddy vs Jason, but then again those are best enjoyed having seen all the prior Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street films.

Keep in mind also that a lot of these films are remakes, mostly of films made in the 70s and 80s.
