I just watched it. It was an easy 7/10 and one of my favorite of 2025. I'd honestly put it just behind Sinners.
How to watch the
John Carpenter's flagship horror film has spawned several timelines. Here's how to tackle the franchise.By Chris Snellgrove

Watching Michael Myers stalk and slash his way through the streets of Haddonfield is always a scary good time, but there's something about queuing up the Halloween movies in October that just hits different (especially on the namesake holiday itself).
But while a Halloween marathon is a seasonal must, trying to figure out how to watch all 13 films can feel as daunting as coming face-to-face with the Shape himself.
Luckily, we've done the hard work for you. Here's Entertainment Weekly's guide on how (and where) to watch John Carpenter's Halloween and every sequel and reboot in order.
01of 13
Halloween (1978)
Jamie Lee Curtis in 'Halloween'.Mary Evans/COMPASS INTERNATIONAL PICTURES/FALCON INTERNATIONAL PRODUC/Ronald Grant/Everett
Meet the arguable granddaddy of the slasher genre (though we see you, Psycho and Black Christmas). John Carpenter's original Halloween is an iconic horror cornerstone, spawning the next 45 years (and counting) of blood-spattered goodness. But the franchise was never better than in the original entry, in which the infamous Michael Myers escapes from an asylum, dons a pale expressionless mask, and evades his alarm-sounding psychiatrist (Donald Pleasence) while killing off teen after unsuspecting teen (including proto-Final Girl Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode in her debut role.)
As we said in our ranking of the Halloween movies, this is a relatively simple film, "yet it evokes such primal fear, shattering the illusion of suburban utopia for maximal tension." Better check behind every bush and tree, because this movie will convince you every sleepy suburb is a slaughterhouse in the making.

Halloween II (1981)
Jamie Lee Curtis in 'Halloween II'.Everett
Though some fans say that the OG Halloween never needed a sequel, this first expansion of the franchise is still surprisingly good. It adds some controversial lore about Laurie Strode being related to Michael Myers (now Dick Warlock, who's perfectly creepy behind the mask), but it's not like this is some half-hearted addition; John Carpenter himself penned the script along with Debra Hill.
Halloween II finds new ways to exploit suburbanite fears, as we pointed out in our ranking, "this time weaponizing the flaws in law enforcement and health care to terrify the audience." It's a subtle bit of storytelling, emphasizing that even if Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis ended their epic showdown, the suburbs would still be a far more dangerous place than most residents care to imagine.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Brad Schacter in 'Halloween III: Season of the Witch'.Universal/Everett
The second entry in the franchise ends with the explosive death of Michael Myers, and, to the studio's credit, they intended to leave that classic killer dead. That's why Season of the Witch gives us a different hero (a doctor played by Tom Atkins), a new villain (Dan O'Herlihy), and a wild plot involving costume masks that offer deadly tricks and no treats to those who wear them. As long as you go into the film with an open mind (and you're not disappointed by the lack of Michael), you'll be pleasantly surprised.
As EW's writer described, this standalone movie is "a strange, deeply creepy, one-off seasonal tale packed with an enthralling opening sequence, besuited, stalking androids, a chilling score complete with many synth stingers, a narrative built around Samhain, and an unforgettably bold ending."

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
George P. Wilbur in 'Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers'.Galaxy International/Everett
Halloween 4 is a slow-burn exercise in patience that really pays off for those willing to wade through its earlier, plodding scenes. As the name implies, this is the film that welcomes Michael back to the franchise, seeing him return to Haddonfield, where he once again clashes with Dr. Loomis and stalks new would-be victims, including excellent child actor Danielle Harris as his niece. The fourth film lays the groundwork for future entries by showing us a town willing to band together and fight the Shape (which we witness again decades later in Halloween Kills).
And, as EW's writer notes, the ending is killer: "The final half-hour of this movie is one of the best stretches in the entire series, full of wild kills and a tense atmosphere," culminating in a chilling conclusion nearly as good as the original's final scene.

Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)
Donald Pleasence in 'Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers'.Galaxy International Releasing/Everett
While we'd hesitate to call it the second part of a duology, it's fair to say that Halloween 5 is the perfect companion piece to Halloween 4. It continues the misadventures of its key players: Michael Myers is still here to stalk and slash, but he now has to deal with a weird psychic connection to his young niece. Unfortunately, the movie never does anything interesting with the premise, choosing instead to give us a streamlined "slice of knife" adventure.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, though, with EW's writer describing the work as "a short, brisk story that understands the fundamental appeal of Halloween: watching Michael Myers silently murder a bunch of teenagers without pretense or prejudice." It's not exactly Shakespeare, but it's fun regardless.

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)
Marianne Hagan, Devin Gardner, and Paul Rudd in 'Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers'.Dimension Films/Everett
Here's a fact spookier than a mask from Silver Shamrock: Whether you loved or hated the previous two entries in the franchise, The Curse of Michael Myers makes them look like genuine works of art. We get returning (and very tired) actor Donald Pleasence and some new blood, including a young Paul Rudd. The movie tries to pick up the threads of previous films, but, in attempting to make Myers more mystical, this film robs him of his knife-edge menace.
Don't worry, though: No babies were harmed in the making of this film...unless you count Halloween as John Carpenter's baby. That's one child experiencing death by a thousand cuts with these inferior sequels.

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)
Jamie Lee Curtis in 'Halloween H20: 20 Years Later'.Dimension Films/Everett
While Halloween became a franchise mired by its own murderous multiverse, H20 deserves credit for being the first movie to ask audiences to ignore the last four entries. This film is situated as a direct sequel to Halloween II, giving us a chance to check in with Laurie Strode 20 years after Michael Myers' first rampage. This soft franchise reset has some great actors in it, including Michelle Williams, Josh Hartnett, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Curtis' mother Janet Leigh.
EW's review also notes that the work was deeply affected by the popularity of Scream (for better or for worse): "In this landscape, horror is never so blackly frightening that it's not a little, like, amusingly ironic, too." Still, if you don't mind a bit of irony as a chaser to blood splatter, you may find this late-'90s genre flick to be a bright spot in some otherwise murky waters.

Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
Jamie Lee Curtis and Brad Loree in 'Halloween: Resurrection'.Miramax/Everett
If H20 gave us hope that this venerable franchise had found new life, Halloween: Resurrection cut through that optimism like Myers slashing through flesh. It's a film where Jamie Lee Curtis puts in a forgettably brief performance before the story focuses on a different cast. Some of the newcomers are admittedly entertaining, including Tyra Banks and Busta Rhymes, but the premise of teens recording themselves in the original Halloween house was far too thin to succeed.
As EW's critic laments in their review, this is "a horror sequel that's maladroit enough to be a self-conscious ripoff of Blair Witch 2." Myers doesn't work when taken out of his element, and the found footage format doesn't work when the sequences are as dreadfully boring as they are here.

Halloween (2007)
Danny Trejo, Tyler Mane, and Lew Temple in 'Halloween'.Dimension Films/Everett
This film represents an ambitious attempt to reboot Halloween altogether, and it comes to us courtesy of horror evocator Rob Zombie. The musician-turned-director isn't everyone's cup of tea, but, to his credit, he has a definitive vision and style while retelling the events of the first movie with a few twists. The new cast is also surprisingly captivating: Malcolm McDowell shines as the new Dr. Loomis, and, while she's no Jamie Lee, Scout Taylor-Compton does a fine job as Laurie Strode.
Then there's Tyler Mane, who makes Michael Myers look novelly gritty. It may not hold a candle to the original, but this work is the closest we've felt to the killer in decades.

Halloween II (2009)

While Rob Zombie's first Halloween was a remake of the John Carpenter classic, the sequel allowed the director to get more creative. The cast of the previous film returns, but everyone has been flattened to a single dimension: Malcolm McDowell is a sneering charlatan, Scout Taylor-Compton is a one-note screaming victim, and Tyler Mane offers nothing new. If you're just in it for the kills, there's some bleak brutality on display here. Ultimately, though, Zombie delivers something that is less like a movie and more like a bloated music video.

Halloween (2018)
Jamie Lee Curtis in 'Halloween'.Ryan Green/Universal/Everett
Ready to do the time warp again? No, we aren't visiting Dr. Frank-N-Furter, but director David Gordon Green's Halloween prequel follows in the footsteps of H20. Instead of being a follow-up to Halloween II, though, this movie asks us to ignore everything that came after the original and treat this work as the one true successor. It's a bold gambit that largely pays off in a story of Jamie Lee Curtis as a traumatized survivor who just wants to keep her family (including a daughter played by Judy Greer) safe. Inevitably, Michael Myers returns to this world, and that homecoming is surprisingly effective.
As EW's critic declares in their review, the result of Green's efforts is "a big, funny, scary, squishy, super-meta sequel that brings it all back to John Carpenter's iconic 1978 original." A franchise — and its killer — reborn at last.

Halloween Kills (2021)
Jamie Lee Curtis in 'Halloween Kills'.Universal Pictures/Everett
Halloween Kills feels like the weird middle sibling out of David Gordon Green's trilogy. It takes place only minutes after his first film, but they couldn't be tonally more different. We begin with Laurie Strode recovering in the hospital, leaving us to follow the strange adventures of Anthony Michael Hall's Tommy Doyle leading a mob against Michael Myers while the killer exerts nearly superhuman levels of strength and stamina.
This culminates in a movie that "can't marry its thematic ambitions to its crowd-pleasing slasher sensibilities, resulting in a frustrating, inconsistent film that tries to have its cake and eat it, too," says EW's franchise ranking.

Halloween Ends (2022)
Jamie Lee Curtis and James Jude Courtney in 'Halloween Ends'.Ryan Green/Universal Pictures/Everett
It's neither the best nor worst entry in the franchise, but we feel safe in saying that Halloween Ends is the most divisive of them all. As EW's critic bluntly puts it in their review, it's a movie that "feels almost incidental to a final chapter in name only." That's because Laurie is mostly sidelined — as is Michael himself.
Now, the narrative is led by a troubled young man (Rohan Campbell) who might be the town's next great evil. He leads a tumultuous relationship with Laurie's granddaughter (Andi Matichak), and we get a kind of Romeo and Juliet story shot through a decidedly gonzo lens. The much-advertised showdown between Laurie and Michael ultimately feels like a studio-mandated ending to what was otherwise an ambitious departure from what we were expecting.

They hating
It aint a classic but unlike 99.9% of dem?
He talked it and did it
Just off that all these dudes need to kiss the ring.
Or GO DO IT YOURSELF.
I think they played Myers for more realism than Jason. With Jason, he's a big retard but somehow has teleportation powers and can possess ppl and other shit. Myers is basically a masked psycho with a knife.
Still have to watch The Monkey, Final Destination: Bloodlines, Until Dawn, and a few more that slipped my mind to complete my 2025 rankings.
What's great is they are all COMPLETELY DIFFERENT horror sub genres. This is the most horror I have watched in one year since vhs tapes.
Each had its own unique look tone perspective visual promotions etc etc etc.
sinners to me takes it because of what it did on all levels. Weapons was divisive as f*ck which i personally think is a a GOOD THING because its a lot of things but it aint boring. Together was messed up but the metaphor worked. Sone were just bad but I still appreciated the effort like the Shell.
The rest were fun, interesting beautiful to look at, unique, gut wrenching and f*cked up. Which good horror should be all those things.
To me the monkey was garbage, final destination was cool that they could use an old concept but still kinda make it fresh for the new generation, until dawn something to watch on a rainy day
The Monkey honestly doesn't look great but it seems intriguing. I'm an old Final Destination fan, it was the first horror franchise I wanted to complete, and I want to see Tony Todd's final performance. As for Until Dawn, I was a fan of the game but my expectations for the film are low.
Oh, then there's the final film in The Conjuring franchise. Honestly, it's probably my second favorite franchise after Final Destination.
It's truly been a bumper crop for horror this year. For me, it went mostly unnoticed just how diverse the field was until now since I really don't pay as much attention to horror until October rolls around.
As with any genre, I expect a mixed bag not only style but in quality. I will say though, even my least favorite film so far, Nosferatu, was still pretty damn good. So, my expectations are pretty high.
I don't want to put anyone on blast but are there diehard V/H/S fans in here? I've been watching the movies -- well so far only V/H/S 94 but I have 99 and Beyond on deck -- and it's pretty bad.

Patty McCormack in 'The Bad Seed' PHOTOFEST
The original “evil child” movie that spawned an entire horror subgenre — from The Omen to Children of the Corn to Orphan — was 1956’s The Bad Seed.
And its pigtailed protagonist — to many, as recognizable and beloved a horror villain as Freddie Krueger or Jason Voorhees — is little Rhoda, whose mother (Nancy Kelly) discovers over the course of the film is actually a murderous sociopath.
That role was played by Patty McCormack, who was just eight when she originated it on Broadway in a 1954 stage version of a hit horror novel by William March.
Mervyn LeRoy, best remembered for producing The Wizard of Oz, caught the show and decided to transfer most of the cast to Hollywood for a film adaptation — McCormack included.
Nearly seventy years after the feature, McCormack, 80, joined The Hollywood Reporter‘s It Happened in Hollywood podcast to revisit the making of an enduring horror classic.
“The [Broadway] director [Reginald Denham] was the one who really guided my performance,” McCormack recalls. “He told me that no matter what, I was always right.

“If you think about that when you watch it next time, you can see I have no patience for any of the adults’ opinions when they don’t coincide with my own. I didn’t focus on the gore. I focused on being selfish and kind of chilly.”LeRoy was a “very kind, easygoing” man who “seemed to like kids,” McCormack recalls. “He bought me off immediately. He gave me a red bicycle to ride around Warner Brothers — so I could get rid of some of my kid energy and explore the lot.”
The film was a box-office hit, earning $4.1 million ($50 million in 2025) on a $1 million budget. It also earned four Academy Award nominations, including one for McCormack, then 11, in the best supporting actress category — among the youngest ever to receive the honor.
She tried for years after to distance herself from Rhoda. “It was something that didn’t get discussed. There was that awful expression, ‘You’re a has-been.’ So I did my best to separate myself from that role and reputation. It’s not the same anymore — not with social media and people appreciating histories of people’s work. It’s such a different world now.”

Besides being beloved as an unconventional horror villain, McCormack has found over the years that Rhoda has also come to be embraced as a counterculture hero — particularly as The Bad Seed found new fans in the social rebellion of the late 1960s.“My character went against the grain of what was expected,” she says. “That was an important thing as they were questioning their own sexuality and other choices that they were free to make.
“She’s a rebel in sheep’s clothing, because she dresses really nice and pretty.”

Let say his screen name ends with doe lmaoooo.. He know I get on him about his recommendation cause lots of them suck
Thanks for IDing him lol. I know someone on here was pushing them but I wasn't sure who so I didn't want to just go out there dropping names. I generally try to watch anything someone recommends on this thread if I haven't seen it already.

Do you remember that one halloween that wasnt about michael myers?
Part 3 everyone remembers that.. Halloween Michael Myers was supposed to be only 2 movies . "Halloween" was supposed to be an on going saga of diff movies and entities.. problem is they didn't inform the audience this idea and people went in thinking Michael Myers was gonna be in it and was completely disappointed.. cause they got so much negative backlash for it , they brought back Myers in part 4 and scrapped the idea of Halloween being diff entities movies
