Halloween Halloween III: Season of the Witch Halloween II Halloween IV Rob Zombie’s Halloween II (theatrical cut - I prefer how the climax and ending plays out here) Halloween 5 Rob Zombie’s Halloween II (director’s cut) Halloween H20 Rob Zombie’s Halloween (I struggle to remember the difference between the two cuts) Halloween Resurrection Halloween; The Curse of Michael Myers (Producer’s Cut is better, but for me didn’t make a huge difference) The Director’s Cut of Zombie’s Halloween features a different escape scene. I agree about the climax in H2 being better in the Theatrical cut. As ungreat as 2007 is, the theatrical cut goes down a lot smoother than the director's cut. I also remember the workprint version being wonky as heck with really bad editing and a really rushed story. That movie seemed to have a lot of behind the scenes struggling. Blame Harvey, I guess. |

The order I rank them in changes every now and then but I would say 
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Halloween H20
Halloween 2
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
Halloween
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch
Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers
Halloween Resurrection
Halloween (Rob Zombie)
Halloween 2 (Rob Zombie)

Plus a ton of other changes. |

So…I haven’t seen any of the Halloween sequels/remakes other part than Halloween III, which I enjoyed (perhaps more than the original? I’d need to watch it again). I usually watch the original with friends every October, and we wisecrack our way through it, but I moderately like it, even if I think the opening sequence is better than anything else in the movie.
Where do y’all suggest that I start watching the sequels, if I should start watching them at all? Halloween II is, I gather, the only other entry with which John Carpenter was associated? (I’m not a huge Carpenter fan, so I don’t mind if it doesn’t have anything to do with him.)

Watch that first. Then work your way with the rest of the sequels in order, and then onto the rebooted films from 2007-2009. |

If you didn't like his first movie, I'd say the odds are low that you'd like his second, but it is very different. Mostly in ways that are absolutely fucking horrible, but creatively and unpredictably so. |

I look forward to editing this after I've seen the new Halloween, I'll probably see it three times no matter what. Note, I'm done including Halloween 3 in these rankings, it's a fine movie on it's own, but it's just not part of this franchise and it's unfair to include it.
Halloween '78 - 10/10
Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers (producers or theatrical cut) - 7/10
Halloween 2 - 7/10
Halloween 4: Return of Michael Myers - 7/10
H2 - 7/10
Halloween '07 - 7/10
Halloween 5: Revenge of Michael Myers - 6/10
Halloween H20 - 5/10
Halloween: Resurrection - 4/10

I remember sitting in the theater thinking that this was going to be great. Then it went downhill fast. The only thing it really has going for it is it has atmosphere for days. |

Been a while since I’ve seen some of these but I’ll give it a shot:
1. Halloween ‘78
2. Halloween II
3. RZ Halloween
4. Season of the Witch
5. H2O
6. Curse
7. Return
8. Revenge
9. Resurrection
Don’t remember much about RZ’s sequel I’ll have to give it another watch.

The opening sequence in the hospital is very effective. It's tense, it has more characterization of it's throw away characters than the rest of the movie as a whole, it's brutal, scary, atmospheric, is well paced and shot with tons of style. Then it turns out that was all a dream and the rest of the movie fucking sucks. |

Halloween Halloween III: Season of the Witch Halloween II Halloween IV Rob Zombie’s Halloween II (theatrical cut - I prefer how the climax and ending plays out here) Halloween 5 Rob Zombie’s Halloween II (director’s cut) Halloween H20 Rob Zombie’s Halloween (I struggle to remember the difference between the two cuts) Halloween Resurrection Halloween; The Curse of Michael Myers (Producer’s Cut is better, but for me didn’t make a huge difference) They’re two very different takes. the producers cut gives more screen time to Loomis, the man in black and Jaime’s role is slightly larger. She doesn’t die the same way as in the theatrical version. This means some deaths are changed, and even deleted (at the backend). The kills are less graphic and the body count is way smaller. The overall plot including the little details (like the Strode family scenes) are expanded on. The thorn backstory is fleshed out way more and makes more sense to what’s going in scenes which didn’t in the theatrical, despite still coming off silly. This means the back half of the film is way different, compared to the theatrical version. Totally new scenes and set-up. Below is a very informative youTube link that perfectly explains the history behind the post-production, and difference between the two cuts side by side. I think you’ll find it interesting. I only own the theatrical version, but I didn’t realise the producer’s cut was only available on bluray. It did get its own release soon after the box set came out, but looks like just on bluray. It does suck when they do that, especially for international buyers. I had to buy the “Laser” brand bluray player so I could collect other region blurays, as I think it’s the only brand locally that plays all regions. Got it at BigW. |

I don’t understand why Zombie changed it in his cut... probably should listen to the commentary for the reason. |

For now, you could ignore the other films and wait for the new one next week because it wipes the slate clean of all the sequels and just a direct sequel to the original. |
