Great video man! It always amazes me at how differently everyone ranks this franchise. Aside from the original being the best and Resurrection being the worst it's wild how differently the other films are appreciated. Thanks a lot for the shout out!
Yeah no other franchise has such diversity like Halloween. I think that says a lot about this franchise. There's something for everyone within. And no problem!
Great review!!! I will be subscribing to your channel.
Cody Leach - Your list is great too.
part 8 gets waaaay to much hate!!!
Although holloween Resurrection is the worst in the franchise its nothing compared to (Freddys dead, seed of chucky, and Jason takes Manhattan.)
Surprised Rob Zombies H2 was so high on the list
Yeah I'm one of the few who absolutely loves it.
Great list 👍
Here are mine ;
11 - Halloween: Resurrection
10 - Zombie’s Halloween 2
09 - Halloween 5
08 - Halloween 3 : Season of the Witch
07 - Halloween H20
06 - Zombie’s Halloween
05 - Halloween 6 (theatrical & producers)
04 - Halloween 2018
03 - Halloween II
02 - Halloween 4
01 - Halloween
Awesome list Jeff. Be sure to check out my updated ranking with H2018.

1 Halloween
2 H20
3 Halloween 2
4 Halloween 4
5 Halloween 5
After that forget it lol ;)
Sorry, forgot III, put that in 4th place!
Haha thanks!
agree 100%
Halloween 5 was HORRIBLE
The fact that H5 starts with the end of H4 yet Michael is wearing the H5 mask. A slight continuity error that haunts me till this day.
Definitely. Luckily it never bothered me. But other things about 5 definitely bother me.
Gilly The King 'Cause M. Myers's mask and outfits in H4 looks like sh!t.
It's like that part in Friday the 13th Part III in the flashback where Chris gets attacked by Jason and he's wearing the Part III clothes even though that flashback is set 2 years before 2, 3 and 4 which are all set over the course of a week. In that flashback Jason should be wearing the Part 2 clothes because he hadn't stolen the III clothes from Harold and Edna's washing line yet.
The fact that they didn’t transition the ending of H4 into H5 is definitely one of the flaws in the series.
@Gilly The King And in H6 the mask is different once again. Doesn't really bother me though.
My personal ranking of my all time favorite horror franchise the Halloween Franchise: (Great video btw)
1. Halloween (1978) - A f*cking masterpiece
2. Halloween H20 - Best sequel of the franchise largely due to Jamie Lee Curtis (I agree it does have a weak score)
3. Halloween 4 - Great & legitimately chilling film, Michael Myers at his most terrifying
4. Halloween 2 (1981) - Solid sequel but the pacing isn't great
5. Halloween 3 - Solid film largely due to Tom Atkins & the concept is pretty creepy
6. Halloween 6 - Okay film with a fantastic atmosphere plus you can't go wrong with Paul Rudd & that ending is still haunting
7. Halloween (2007) - Decent film with a promising take but you can't invest in the characters & perhaps too dark
8. Halloween 5 - Pretty bad film thanks to it's poor story/structure & comedic element but the third act is good
9. Halloween Resurrection - Horrible film largely due to the awful execution of an interesting concept plus Busta Rhymes
10. Halloween II (2009) - Awful film with Michael Myers & Loomis at their worst plus the film was soulless & too dark
(The only Halloween film I hate)
Great list man. Thanks for watching!
Can we be best friends? Haha. Love the content bro
Erin Kawa Thank you!🙏
Nice list. "The curse" is super underrated.
My list looks like this.
1. Halloween '78
2. Halloween 2
3. Halloween 4 he Return of Michael Myers
4. Halloween H20
5. Halloween 6 The Curse of Michael Myers
6. Halloween 3 season of the witch
7. Halloween RZ
8. Halloween RZ II
9. Halloween 5 The revenge of Michael Myers
10. Halloween Resurrection
Worst Character: Tina from 5... Honorable Mention Busta Rhymes Resurrection
Best Character: Laurie Strode/ Jamie Leigh Curtis
Favorite Kill: Jamie in part 6.....Honorable Mention Bob form the original
Favorite Michael: Nick Castle
Best Mask: The original
Worst mask: The Return of Michael Myers
I remember seeing 4 in the theater and being completely terrified. And tbh, the mask never bothered me. The mask in 5 is so different that it can be off-putting.
Thanks for defending Rob Zombie's H2. I love the movie. I really sticks with me even though I understand why people hate it
Oh man hell yes!!
HALLOWEEN 2018!!!!!🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥
Can't wait!!
I must say, your reviews are EXCELLENT. I follow a lot of other movie reviewers on UA-cam, but you really seem to "get" horror movies, which is one of my favorite genres. I think the thing I like most about your reviewing style is how easy-going you are about your opinions. You may praise a film but make a point to say you understand why people might not like it, and vice versa. It's a nice change from reviewers that make it seem that if you don't agree, you're an idiot, ya know? You make your case, and want to genuinely discusses it afterwards, which is super cool. I watched all through your Halloween and F13 reviews, and can't wait to check out others.You've given me incentive to rewatch certain entries that I originally dismissed, like Zombie's Halloween 2, and some of the F13s. Plus I like that you have enough film knowledge to critique technical things like lighting, cinematography, etc; and especially music. I'm a musician myself, so to have a reviewer put time into talking about the music is just great. Thank you.
Wow man...I really appreciate the kind words. Thank you so much!
Hey Drumdums have you seen Family Guy's reference to Halloween 4?
No. I need to see that!
Drumdums Anyone who's a fan of Halloween would appreciate it especially if you loved Halloween 4.
Humberto Duran I remember that it was funny
ua-cam.com/video/2vAM8lICd3A/v-deo.html
Are you talking about the episode where Tom Tucker played Michael
Even though are lists are very different you have really good valid points on everything :) Enjoyed hearing you rank and talk about the franchise as a whole! *(oh and I've always loved that alternate artwork you used on your JC's Halloween)
Yes there are quite a few different version of the Halloween poster and I like to show them off from time to time. Thank you Susan and I hope you have a great week!
Again a little late to the party haha but I figured I'd share my ranking.
1. Halloween - It's a classic that still frightens me visually and mentally plus it changed the film genre for the best.
2. Halloween 4 - Its the perfect sequel that capitalised on the ten year anniversary. It's got some of the best developed characters.
3. Halloween (2007) - Maybe an unpopular opinion but if your making a remake nobody wants a shot for shot of the remake (ew Psycho remake). Rob Zombie made a Rob Zombie film and it was fresh and different.
4. Halloween 3 - It was definitely a John Carpenter film the story was great and the music was fantastic. A true film to live up to the title of Halloween.
5. Halloween 2 - The hospital setting was enough to creep me out of never wanting to stay over night at a hospital. The kills were upped in ante due to the friday films and in comparison to those they were awesome. Plus they brought back Jamie Lee Curtis in what was supposed to be her swan song to horror we all know how that turned out.
6.Halloween 6 - Michael Myers was scary in this film. The mask was amazing if this movie has any flaws outside obvious production issues it would be no Danielle Harris. The "Thorn Trilogy" is something in horror that can actually be considered scary.
7.Halloween 2 (2009) - They made Laurie crazy that's bold I love bold. Michael is shown to be brutal as hell. I do wish they'd have left out the psychic link it didn't work in 5 it didn't work in here. Plus i love dick head Loomis nobody is going to be as good as Donald Plesance so why try this Loomis his own.
8.Halloween 7 (H20) - They got Jamie Lee Curtis back that's awesome. But they tried so hard to be scream I love scream don't get me wrong but Apple's and Oranges. Michael is nothing but the long lost fourth stooge. The mask changes bother me. If this movie has any actual redeeming factor its Josh Hardnet.
9.Halloween 5 - A movie should never be rushed into production without a concrete story already developed. They made one of the best child actors a mute. The third act was amazing but it doesn't redeem the rest of the movie. Don Shanks was amazing tho. The not explained man in black being teased with no pay off was crap. The psychic link is a cool concept for horror just not in this film.
10.Halloween Resurrection - Busta Rhymes saying trick or treat mother fucker and roundhousing Michael. That's all I'm saying about that film.
It's very interesting to hear other people's takes on the franchise, and the different rankings of the films. At least 1 thing that everyone seems to agree on is the fact that the original Halloween is the best. If anyone were to say different, they're not a true Halloween fan.
I would rank as follows (from best to worst):
John Carpenter's Halloween
Halloween 2 (1981)
Halloween H20
Rob Zombie's Halloween
Halloween 4
Halloween 5
Rob Zombie's Halloween 2
Halloween 6
Season of the Witch (I also don't think it should have Halloween in the title)
Halloween Resurrection
I'll come back and edit this list after this year's new Halloween comes out, if I remember. I can't wait to see it! I'm thinking (and really hoping) that it'll be the best one yet since the original.
That is one thing I love about this franchise over most...the wild rankings. I've seen Halloween 6 in the first and last position of some rankings.
Drumdums Most definitely, man! It's crazy to see just how much it varies from person to person. I based my ranking off of a few factors - how good the movie was as a whole and how close it kept to the Michael Myers character from the original.
My list would probably be:
1. Halloween (1978)
2. Halloween H20
3. Halloween 4
4. Halloween II (1981)
5. Halloween III
6. Halloween 6
7. Halloween (2007)
8. Halloween 5
9. Halloween (2009)
10. Halloween Resurrection
I will say though I love my top 9 and rewatch them all regularly. Resurrection is the only one that I think is a piece of shit and find it hard to sit through.
1. Halloween (1978)
2. Halloween II (2009)
3. Halloween H20
4. Halloween 4
5. Halloween 6
6. Halloween II (1981)
7. Halloween (2018)
8. Halloween (2007)
9. Halloween III: Season Of The Witch
10. Halloween 5
11. Halloween: Resurrection
Mine:
10- resurrection
9- the revenge
8- season of the witch
7- the curse
6- h2 2009 ( I love it)
5- remake( I love it too)
4- the return
3- h20
2- h 2(1981)
1- h 1 (1978)
10. Halloween: Resurrection
9. Rob Zombie’s Halloween II
8. Halloween III: Season Of The Witch
7. Rob Zombie’s Halloween
6. Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers
5. Halloween 6: The Curse Of Michael Myers
4. Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers
3. Halloween H20
2. Halloween II
1. Halloween
I feel like I’m the Only person who likes Halloween II over H20
I totally agree about Halloween 6 so underrated.
I'm still voting shirtless speedo review!!!!
Haha thanks!! :p
Alright here’s my ranking.
1. Halloween 10/10
What more can be said
2. Halloween II 9/10
Great film but suffers by not furthering the characters and keeping it very similar to the original
3. H20 9/10
Very good film and extremely satisfying to see Laurie kick the shit out of Michael Myers
4. Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers 7/10
A fine movie that has a really strong idea with a amazing ending but is held back from how much it feels like a sitcom at certain points. Also the Michael Myers mask is inexcusably bad.
5. Halloween III: Season of the Witch 7/10
Very fun and enjoyable Halloween film. Yes Michael Myers is not in it but it still has a lot of enjoyment to be found, in a cheesy way.
6. Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers 6/10
I appreciate aspects of this movie and I can tolerate watching it but there are a lot of problems with the movie especially the editing and the producers cut fixes problems but also creates its own
7. Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers 5/10
Boring. Slow. Awful Michael Myers mask. Terrible characters. Undoes everything the previous film set up
8. Halloween: Resurrection
4/10
Bad. Just bad. Makes Michael Myers a joke. Undoes all the genuine terror of his character by having Busta Rhymes make a fool of him.
9. Halloween II (2009)
3/10
There are parts of this film I enjoy but not only is this movie a mess, it’s exhausting. I refuse to admit that Michael Myers is in this movie because he barely wears the mask, he just looks like a Duck Dynasty reject, actually speaks (which is such a piss weak moment with him screaming DIE).
10. Halloween (2007)
1/10
Here we are. The worst of the worst. And what more can be said. Pisses on Michael Myers by showing his upbringing. Fucking boring. Terrible characters and a pointless retread of the original.
1) Halloween (1978)
2) Halloween IV
3) Halloween II (1981)
4) Halloween H20
5) Halloween VI
6) Rob Zombies Halloween
7) Halloween III
8) Halloween V
9) Rob Zombies Halloween II
10) Halloween Resurrection
Solid ranking!
interesting list! mine would be from best to worst 1,2,3,4,h20 as being the best ones then 6,5 being the not so great ones and then Res, 007 and H2 being my least favorites. Don't think Zombie's movie is that horrible, it just should have been its own thing about a kid with bad up bringing turned into a killer.
I didn't like the young Myers parts in Rob Zombie's Halloween.
In the beginning of Halloween 5, I always found Michael Myers floating down the river with his theme playing in the background soo unintentionally hilarious, and one of my favorite parts of the Rob Zombie Halloween was the Mask they used! great video as always dude - George
Talk Movies With Us Yeah that scene was kind of off. Loved the Tyler Mane mask (it's actually a mold of his face).
My Ranking
10. Halloween 2 2009 - 30 years of Meyers silence RUINED😠
9. Halloween 2007 - Freddy vs Jason characters (All bad and generic teens)
8. Halloween resurrection - Kung foo Busta Rymes Do I need another reason
7. Halloween 5 - Rachel Dies and is replaced by a terrible character
6 Halloween lll -No Meyers but still a good Halloween theme movie
5. Halloween 6 - gives us a reason why Meyers can't die Kinda
4. Halloween 4 - introduces new good characters
3. Halloween ll - Same AMAZING characters and great plot
2. Halloween - BEST SLASHER MOVIE EVER
1. Halloween H20 - SPEECHLESS
It's crazy to see how everyone's films line up on this. My all time favorite will probably be H20 because it was the first halloween movie to see in theaters and it always stuck. Granted I thought it was better then than I do now. But depending my mood my list varies. But i would be curious on how you would watch the movies during a marathon? Would it be 78-09 straight through. Or bounce through your list? Would you watch it in story line settings?
I agree...that first theater experience with a Halloween movie is something special. I think that's why 4 holds such a special place in my heart. Thanks for watching.
This was a very unique ranking for the Halloween series man. I do love the fact that you are giving some personal reasons behind your choices. This blocks people from telling you that you are wrong. Great video!
10. Halloween 2 (2009)
9. Halloween (2007)
(I guess I just don't like Rob Zombie's style of film)
8. Halloween the Curse of Michael Myers
7. Halloween Resurrection
6. Halloween 3 Season of the Witch
5. Halloween H20
4. Halloween 4 the Return of Michael Myers
3. Halloween 5 the Revenge of Michael Myers
2. Halloween ii (1981)
1. Halloween (1978)
I like all except the bottom 3 at least a little bit
1. Halloween (1978)
2. Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers (1988)
3. Halloween ll (1981)
4. Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers (1989)
5. Halloween (2007)
6. Halloween ll (2009)
7. Halloween: H20 (1998)
8. Halloween 6: The Curse Of Michael Myers (1995)
9. Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
10. Halloween lll: Season Of The Witch (1982)
Love your list Jackson!
Thanks love your list to
Another great video, I would have to disagree with Rob Zombie's H2 and it would be no higher than number 9 for me. I would also rank the original Halloween 2 as number 1A for me, depending on my mood it's almost better than the original for me, more scarier, just love the overall feel other than Dick Warlock needing someone to light a fire under his ass and make him walk just a little faster. But overall we almost see eye to eye with the rankings
Haha you're not alone. Most hate Zombie's H2. And I actually kind of like that haha.
6: H20
Huge space in between these 2
5: Halloween 2 1981
4: The Curse Of Michael Myers
3: RZ Halloween 2007 it gets too much hate
2: H2018
1: Halloween
Nice reviews dude. Much respect. Here's my list.
10. Rob Zombie Halloween 2
9. Halloween Resurrection
8. Rob Zombie Halloween
7. Halloween H20
6. Halloween 6 The Curse of Michael Myers
5. Halloween 5 The Revenge of Michael Myers
4. Halloween III Season of the Witch
3. Halloween II
2. Halloween 4 The Return of Michael Myers
1. Halloween 1978 🎃
Fantastic list...and thank you!
To me Halloween H2o should've been ranked at least in the top 3🙃😅 I love that movie, #7 was just way too low.
I just put out a long video breaking down my problems with H20. You should check it out.
Haven't seen the video yet... but... my list is....
10# Resurrection
9# RZHalloween
8# H5
7# H20
6# RZHalloween2
5# H3
4# Halloween 6
3# Halloween 2
2# Halloween (1978)
1# Halloween 4!!!
Edit: I saw the video.... I'm dead... Lee and I have almost the same list... slowly dying.
This is my exact same ranking! Rob zombie H2 is completely misunderstood and the curse of Michael Myers has easily the most brutal shape in the franchise. Good call!
Awesome! Glad to see some more love for RZ H2!
Here's mine, I love watching others rank the franchise considering the new Halloween is coming out this October:
10.) Halloween II (2009)
9.) Halloween: Resurrection
8.) Halloween III: Season of the Witch
7.) Halloween (2007)
6.) Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers
5.) Halloween II (1981)
4.) Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
3.) Halloween H20
2.) Halloween (1978)
1.) Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Drumdums, I respect your choices for which movies you've ranked from worst to best in the HALLOWEEN franchise. It started to sink in why #6 The Curse of Michael Myers is ranked closer to the best in your opinion. Probably because the way that Michael was being portrayed, just like he was made to be. After all, he is The Shape. And the best part about The Shape is that he is all about mystery, like Loomis said in the beginning of 1981's H2: "I shot him 6 times!" Being shot 6 times, and still capable of standing back up and walking away into the darkness of night. Between you, Dave McRae and We Watched A Movie, all of you really understand what makes HALLOWEEN movies special to the viewer. Good job again Drumdums👍🎃
Thanks Brandon. 6 really nails Michael, and that's what I love about it so much. The darkness, the mystery, the cinematography. It's all there. And I'm planning a live stream with Dave McRae and WeWatchedAMovie real soon. Stay tuned!
My list ..... Count down to #1.

Now mind u ...... I do like all of these movies from 1 to #9.& the first 8 I love. The one at 10 is the second Rob Zombie remake. That's the only one I didn't like. I liked the 1st Rob Zombie one. & I loved all of the rest of the Halloweens. This is just how I rank them. But thanks again Drumdums for letting me share my opinion with you. 👋😎
Hey man , you remember me from Facebook? Here’s my ranking
10. Ressurection
9.6
83
7.2
6.h20
5.rob zombie Halloween
4. Rob zombie Halloween 2
3.4
2.5
1.1
this would be my Ranking as of now since most of these movies I haven't seen in years. also I'm mainly Ranking these in terms of the enjoyment I got out of them. so while some of these movies aren't "good" per say I might still watch them from time to time. from Worst to Best:
10. Rob Zombie's Halloween 2. not gonna lie I did kinda like this one when it first came out. however over time I started to just not give a damn about it anymore. bad writing, bad camera work (seriously what's with filmmakers always shaking the damn camera all the time), terrible characters, and overall just what the hell was up with all the imagery? this felt less like Halloween and more like a high budget Rob Zombie music video if that makes sense lol.
9. Rob Zombie's Halloween. only slightly better than H2 but not by much. same problems as H2 but toned down a bit and the second half of the film where it plays more like the original Halloween was ok. also the Theatrical Cut imo was better than the Director's Cut. again liked it when it came out. not anymore
8. Halloween 5. only saw it once and I haven't seen it since high school but I remembered thinking it was meh. the mask looked weird, the silly music cues, the forgettable characters, etc.... again don't remember much from it
7. Halloween 3 Season of the Witch. just like Halloween 5 I only saw this one once in high school but I thought while it was different I thought it was ok. might have to see it again at some point tho. also wasn't bothered with not having Michael Myers in the film either. HOWEVER! that freaking Silver Shamrock song can GO TO HELL! lol
now these next films are films that I do like and can shift here and there
6. Halloween 4. a good solid sequel. I feel between this and part 6 had the best atmosphere in terms of feeling like Halloween night. not a fan of Michael's mask in this one. looked kinda goofy to me. still tho solid characters, solid score, that really nice opening sequence with the silent ambiance, the shocking ending. only thing for me tho is that this movie kinda felt too much like Halloween 1 like they played it a bit safe but overall still a good movie
5. Halloween Resurrection. ok I know I'm in the minority but I do like this movie. not saying it's "good" but to me it's entertaining. now as a follow up to H20, yeah it doesn't make much sense. still tho I thought it was funny at parts, I liked Michael's mask design (one of my favs in the series), the music imo is one of the better Halloween scores in the series, while the characters were nothing to write home about I didn't mind them, and I liked the whole Internet vlog thing they did. made it different. like I said while I do acknowledge it's not a good movie I'd still rather watch this than the Rob Zombie movies or a few of the sequels
4. Halloween H20. a solid movie imo. I liked the characters, especially Laurie who's been traumatized from her ordeal in the original movie, Michael had a cool mask design, (most of the time anyway), the music was decent, and the 3rd act. oh man. that final act to me is worth watching this movie alone. seeing Laurie stand up to Michael in an epic "final" showdown was just awesome. overall a solid film in the series and would've been the perfect ending
3. Halloween 6. out of the Thorn Trilogy this one's my fav. a brutal and menacing Michael, seriously imo one of the most terrifying versions of Michael, Donald Pleasence final role still as great as ever as Loomis, the atmosphere I thought was great, the characters were ok. Paul Rudd I thought was really awkward and weird in this film, and a decent score. haven't seen the Producer's Cut so I can't compare the 2 versions to see which is better
2. Halloween 2. a solid follow up to the original film. honestly don't have much to say for this one. if you like the original film then you should see this one right after as it continues immediately after the first one
1. John Carpenter's Halloween. what else can be said about this Horror masterpiece. the memorable and likable characters, the suspense, the iconic music, Michael Myers himself, everything about this movie to me is pretty much flawless.
as a side note I can't wait to see the new Halloween film coming out this year
Damn..nice write up man. Love when I get comments like this!
Also great themes
Halloween 1978
Halloween 4
Resurrection
Ahhh, Halloween...the best. So excited for this new one. Okay, so lemme explain some things.
-I ranked the Producers Cut of Part 6 above the theatrical version because even though the cool hospital massacre scene is gone, there are story beats here that make the plot so much easier to understand and cinematography as well as the editing is much more consistent in tone with the first film in the franchise. Yeah, rocks stopping Michael is kinda dumb...but is it really any more dumb than Paul Rudd beating Michael to "death" with a pipe? No way. Watching the Producers Cut makes me appreciate this film in a way I never have since I first saw it on VHS back in the mid-90s.
-Also, yes, Season of the Witch is VERY high on this list...but justifiably so, I promise. Dean Cundy's cinematography and the John Carpenter/Alan Howarth soundtrack are impeccable, but it's not just that. There is this eerie air about this film that encapsulates the spirit of Halloween so well. I even think that Stranger Things borrowed a lot from this movie. Conspiracy to cover up supernatural evil? Check. Washed-up, booze-fueled middle-aged man in desperate need of a win? Check. A female protagonist who has just lost a loved one to the supernatural evil? Check. Spooky synthesizer and keyboard music? Check.
Anyyycrap...enjoy. Or don't. It's the internet!

Great comment man!
Great list, you're not alone, loved Rob Zombies H2 , sure there were some problems but I do love the idea of Michael being homeless and just vicious at the body count because if this was a real person it probably would be like this, my only complaint was how much of a douche Dr Loomis became , have you heard the Halloween fan theories? that's an interesting list
Hell yeah!!
I really liked the theory of the connection of season of the witch to the first Halloween

I would love to see your Halloween 6: The Good Edition.
Halloween 6 ranks about as high for me as it does for you. I love both cuts, aside from the final act of the Producer's.
Paul Swiers Sure man. Shoot me a dm @drumdums on Twitter, Instagram or FB.
Drumdums oh. Dope! Just followed you on Twitter. Quick follow back so I can DM? :D

Wtfff I thought Halloween 4 came out in 1987???
Drumdums thanks lol I was tripping. But great video I've been watching your videos lately and they are good. Please try to react to the new Halloween
Thank you Alec!. I did a reaction on the day the trailer came out. Lost my shit.
I’ve had the flu this week and I’ve been binge-watching your channel the last couple days! Very good list! I like seeing Halloween 4 get the love it deserves. It was my first Halloween as well, but I didn’t catch it until the double-disc DVD of 4 and 5. I’ve watched it more than any other one. We share the number 1 and 2 spots. While I’m not a Zombie fan, I do have to agree that I like his second one better. Thanks for your channel, dude! It’s kept me very entertained and I’ve watched it in between watching some of the horror movies you’ve reviewed. I rate your channel very binge-worthy!
Thanks so much man. That is the ultimate compliment! Hope you feel better soon.

Rhine1988 I love the theatrical version as well, especially the ending!
i just finished watching all of them and tbh my favorite is the first one but i love the 5th one
First time watch for the whole series? Cool!

Very solid ranking. Nice to see someone who enjoys most of the films. Thanks for watching!
I love Halloween 4
Loved this video
The biggest thing that kills Halloween 5 for me is Michael Myers CRYING...seriously wtf was that????? As I mentioned on another one of your videos, I am not a fan of any of the sequels beyond Halloween 2. However when I was a kid, I oddly preferred some of the sequels over the original. I loved Halloween 4 the most back then. It wasn't until I got a little older, that I finally realized just what a flawless masterpiece the original is and it then became my favorite film of all time. I do still watch Halloween 4 from time to time because I love the Rachel and Jamie characters and the ending is badass. I don't find Michael scary at all in the 4th film like you do though. He's only frightening in the first two films for me. Oh and Halloween 3 is a pretty good movie that I watch on occasion.
Completely agree. WTF haha! This movie had so many stupid things about it.
And them killing Rachel pissed me off along with the stupid displaced cop humor. The only parts of 5 I liked were the myers car chase scene of Jamie & Tina plus the best scariest scene of jamie in the laundry shoot. I loved halloween 4
10-1.... Resurrection, 6, 5, 3, Z2, H20, Z1, 4, 2, 1

Wow it's always cool to see someone put a sequel above the original. H2 is great.
Having FINALLY seen the 2018 film(can't believe it took me until November), here's my ranking with it included.
#1. Halloween (1978) / Halloween II (1981) - Ranking them as one movie, because I had basically the same experience watching them. It kept me completely engrossed all the way through, I could not look away from the screen. My only flaw with the original was that it left on a cliffhanger(which I get is meant to be scary, but just seemed like the story was unfinished) and that's rectified by the second movie. It feels like one complete story to me and I don't think the 2nd film was any less scarier than the first, so together they are.
#2. Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers (1988) - Donald Pleasence and Danielle Harris together, in a movie that doesn't suck. It's not nearly as great as the first two, but it's a good follow-up. I like how the aged Loomis is a bit more crazed, to the point where his colleagues try to avoid him, and of course I like the character of Jamie. The final cliffhanger is one of the best moments of the franchise.
#3. Halloween (2018) - A strong reboot of the franchise. I do wish there was more original content in it, but the production team clearly did their homework and tried to make a film worthy of Carpenter's original and I respect that.
#4. Halloween 6: The Curse Of Michael Myers (1995) - I'm mainly thinking of the Producer's Cut here, but anyway, I was really intrigued by the Curse of Thorn storyline and I'm sad that it got botched the way that it did. Love the cinematography of this film, especially in the scene where the old woman tells the kid about the backstory of Samhain, I think it harkens back to the tone of the third movie really nicely.
#5. Halloween H20 (1998) - The final confrontation between Michael and Laurie is really epic. Aside from that, it's an alright film. I didn't mind LL Cool J being in it, I think he played a likable enough character. It was middle of the road.
#6. Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (1982) - Mixed bag. Productionwise, it's great and the Carpenter score definitely works wonders in giving the film a creepy atmosphere. I'm quite fond of Cochran as the bad guy as well. I just wish it all came together in some kind of a coherent storyline. If it did, I'd consider it a classic, but as it is, it's just a bit too all over the place for me to fully enjoy.
#7. Halloween (2007) - I don't think Halloween really needed a remake, especially a gruesome Rob Zombie version, but it's an okay horror movie.
#8. Halloween: Resurrection (2002) - It was more enjoyable than I expected(damn, Katee Sackhoff looks fine), but it's pretty silly. And the Laurie retcon was unforgivable.
#9. Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers (1989) - Dumb movie. So, we have to follow this Friday the 13th bunch of nympho teens, the great ending of Halloween 4 gets scrapped and for some reason, Loomis turns into a loony and risks Jamie's life to get Michael? I call bullshit. It's a crappy movie mostly, but not even bothering to detail why Loomis's character would pull a 180 makes it complete shit in my eyes.
#10. Halloween II (2009) - I have no idea what to make of this film. It's just bizarre and I don't know what Zombie was trying to accomplish here. I like that they explored Laurie's trauma, but I think they made her too unlikable in the process. And Loomis was kind of wasted.
Love this video. So cool that Halloween 4 was your first theatrical experience because it was mine too. Really great hearing your breakdown. I am glad you are a fan of H2 (2009) too. I love that film too. Great raking. Keep up great work

Drumdums Thanks man. Are you looking forward to the new movie next year?
Drumdums Thanks man. Sorry for the late reply by the way.
Have to say your list is pretty damn close to mine. I would switch places with Halloween 6 and Zombie's first film. I really loath Halloween 6. That said, totally agree with you on Zombie's second film, it gets a lot of crap from fans but I really have to say it is the most original of the films and most brutal.
Awesome. I know 6 has it's fans/haters. I'm on the other side of it, but completely get where you're coming from.
I think a lot of my dislike toward it stems from the direction 5 took, which 6 of course inherited. Then you add in the recasting of Jamie Lloyd and unceremoniously killing her character like they did with Rachel in 5. The final nail in the coffin was the whole druid/occult thing, it just was too much beyond the force of nature that Carpenter started out with in regard to Michael. I did like Rudd and I thought the atmosphere was good.

My ranking is pretty much the same but my thoughts have changed on some films (The first 10 to fit the video of course)
10. Resurrection: Lord this movie is awful, and while I technically haven’t watched it (I just quit after the credits), It’s just too bad for me to get into. I like some of the kills and the opening theme is great, but around that is horrible characters, script, and ending, so this is where it’s going.
9. 2007: I honestly will watch Resurrection before this again, while it doesn’t commit the 2 ultimate sins, it’s less rewatchable and so. Goddamn. Boring. In either cut. The opening is horrible and anything after that is just 1978 all over again, and they ruin Danielle in this movie along with Lynda and Laurie being bad characters. I’ll place it above #10 because the Kills kick ass, Tyler Mane is brutal, and the Mask is top notch for the franchise.
8. Halloween 5: I’m gonna say this is very close to #7, but the thing that slightly holds it back is the cops (except in one scene), the lackluster kills, that pretty bad mask, and the disservice of Rachel. Among other things like Loomis going crazy, and Jamie being mute (and some of Tina). Also can I say how stupid that scene with Spitz is pretending to be Michael asking for “her phone number,” way to humiliate him even more than making him cry.
BUT, This movie is ironically good in spots, such as when the cops are first introduced (seen that scene so many times I have accepted it), The Hell would not have him line is great, and it’s pretty entertaining in other spots.
7. Halloween H20: I used to love this movie, not so much anymore. First off, I love the final act and there are some very great kills, and I’ll give kudos to the opening for the 3 first kills with Marion and those humurous kids (and it works for me), and we get to see that Buechler Mask for a second. But around that is the awful other masks, disappointing music (Damn Scream resuses), boring characters and while not being that long it still takes forever for it to get to the action.
6. Halloween III: I also use to love this a lot but now it’s just pretty good. I’ll say that I love the plot and the Final Act Starting with the family’s death is very cool and enjoyable to watch, and It’s kills are S-tier. But while it’s not explicitly boring, I find myself very uncaptured while watching it and I just don’t get too much into it. But it’s a harmless watch.
5. Halloween II (2009): This film is overhated, my main problems is that it drags in so many spots and the director’s cut is awful, I don’t care about realism, Laurie is so unlikable, and that ending is actual horrible with Michael talking and just getting shot to death, plus those weird dreams scenes with the skeleton Michael and the coffin are so confusing. But on the other hand, I like The Theatrical cut and I have nostalgia from watching the theatrical ending. I love how unnerving Scout is in the final Shot.
4. Halloween 4: Pretty huge leap between these two. I used to find this pretty average. But my recent time rewatching it I fell in love with it. I love Jamie and Rachel and Loomis is still sane in this. While I find most of the Final act meh, the mine scene and that ending is phenomenal. The Mask is the other thing not great in it, but George P. Wilbur was amazing in this movie portraying evil.
3. Halloween II (1981): This is honestly the perfect sequel for this because of the same night nature. I love Dick Warlock and the Mask has character with its aging. All the characters in this are “charming” and I love the hospital setting. The Final Act is phenomenal and very memorable. I still love this film.
2. Halloween Curse: I don’t know where my love for this film came from. I watched the Producer’s cut and just loved how organized it was. I don’t hate the ending despite it being inferior to the theatrical cut. George P. Wilbur kicked ass in this film and the Mask was great. I honestly love this movie and I can’t believe it’s rated lower than Resurrection on Rotten Tomatoes
1. 1978: There’s not much to say but it is a masterpiece of a film
