This week Pattie sits out and David jumps in to have a deep dive discussion of all the Halloween movies as the latest installment, Halloween Kills, is released. We all know how much Bill and David LOVE the Halloween movies. There will probably be spoilers.

If you want to watch the Halloween series in chronological order

  1. Halloween (1978)
  2. Halloween II (1981)
  3. Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
  4. Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)
  5. Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)
  6. Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)
  7. Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
  8. Halloween (2018)
  9. Halloween Kills (2021)

 

The remaining three films can be watched independently from the others.
Halloween (2007) This is the first of the Rob Zombie remakes. Although it shares a similar plot line from the original movie, it shifts the focus to Michael’s childhood murders. We also see his years of therapy with Dr. Loomis (Malcolm McDowell).
Halloween II (2009) This is set a year after the first Rob Zombie remake. It tries to flesh out the connection between Michael and Laurie. Laurie is dealing with the traumatic events of fighting off Michael from the previous movie. Michael is still alive and begins to have visions of his mother instructing him to reunite with Laurie.
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) This one steers completely away from the Halloween franchise. It is a failed attempt at creating a Halloween anthology series. With not even having Michael Myers involved, you can treat it like a completely different movie from the previous films.
