Halloween

Halloween (2018)
I…kind of knew from the beginning of this movie that it wasn’t going to be my cup of tea. It felt overly artsy for a Halloween movie, and definitely too slow for my liking. But I kept going, particularly because I knew Jamie Lee Curtis was back in this one.

Halloween (2007)
So. Rob Zombie’s remake of John Carpenter’s Halloween. Sorry, I should say reimagining. In some ways, it reminded me of Michael Bay’s Nightmare on Elm Street remake. But mostly it didn’t remind me of that at all. And mostly I liked this one. I just wish it weren’t so long. It’s really long.

Halloween (1978)
There’s not much I can say about this movie that hasn’t already been said better elsewhere.

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
So I’m finding that on the whole these sequels are better than most of the Friday the 13th sequels, but that doesn’t really make them good. They’re just passable.

Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)
I don’t have too much to say about this one, except that it feels like “a thing” that when a franchise reaches a certain number of films, it has to have a telepathic child connected with the antagonist somehow?

Halloween Ends (2022)
Yeah…I have nothing to say about this movie.

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)
First of all, I’ll admit right now that I haven’t seen any of the other Halloween sequels, so I’m probably missing some context. That said, you could watch this movie on its own and still follow along with the story.

Halloween II (2009)
So, I had a lot to say about Rob Zombie’s original Halloween remake, particularly that I quite liked it. This…not so much. But I want to preface this by saying I’ve been in a bit of a mood lately, so it’s totally possible it’s just me?

Halloween II (1981)
Okay, welcome to another round of “too many movies in a single franchise”! Probably similar to the Friday the 13th collection, I’m not going to watch these all back to back. Also, fair warning, some of this is going to be posted out of order. Like, I’m not watching Halloween 3 until next week, because it’s basically a standalone film unrelated to Laurie Strode and Michael Myers and it fits better with my schedule this way.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Happy Halloween! I hope you get all the candy you want tonight!

Halloween Kills (2021)
I’m sorry, I don’t think I’ll have much to say about this one or tomorrow’s movie, other than I’ll be glad to be finally done with this franchise.

Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
Okay, this definitely wasn’t as bad as yesterday’s movie. This one is actually a direct sequel to Halloween H20, so we’ve graduated timelines, I guess?

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)
Wow…this was a bad movie. And it has PAUL RUDD in it! And it was still bad.
