A place to discuss the Halloween franchise...

Because why not? To start off, here are my thoughts on each movie in the franchise.

Halloween: One of the greatest movies of all time. Still genuinely scary and suspenseful to this day.

Halloween II: Pretty good. I don't mind that it's more violent than the last one because I think it serves the movie well, plus the movie is still quite scary.

Halloween III: Extremely overhated movie. Why it got the hate it got and still kinda does is beyond me.

Halloween IV: Probably the best of the sequels. The acting is my favorite thing about this movie; everyone turns in a great performance.

Halloween V: I like the movie, but I can see why a lot of people wouldn't. This is where the series really started falling prey to the shittier conventions of the slasher genre.

Halloween VI: I haven't seen it in full, but from what I have seen of it it doesn't look very good. The Producer's Cut looks infinitely superior.

Halloween H2O: Haven't seen it in years, but I don't remember it being that good.

Halloween Resurrection: One of the most magnificently terrible movies I have ever seen.

Rob Zombie's Halloween: For what it is, I thought it was really damn good. I liked that Rob Zombie put his own spin and style on the story of the original movie while remaining faithful to the source material when it counts. I'm also probably one of the only people on the planet that's seen the movie that likes that he tried to give an explanation as to why Michael became what he became.

Rob Zombie's Halloween II: I enjoyed it, but as with Halloween V I can see why people would really hate it. In contrast to my thoughts on (what I've seen of) Halloween VI, I think the theatrical cut is a lot better than the Director's Cut. You don't have Michael Myers talk, Rob Zombie. You just don't.

There's my thoughts, and now for you.
