Ladies and gentlemen, I gather you all to this Halloween review, posted on Halloween night, to announce that I am completely and utterly shocked. They made another good Halloween movie! The first good one (in my opinion) since Rob Zombie's 2007 remake. Looking back on my reviews of the Halloween films, particularly of Zombie's movies,... Continue Reading →
Halloween isn't over. It's frightful that I must start this epilogue to my review series with a reminder that we're still due a 2022 film called Halloween Ends, which will wrap-up the reboot of the franchise that started with the 2018 film. Rest assured, I'll be back to review that movie when the time comes,... Continue Reading →
Unconventional is an understatement. For a franchise that seemed to have been retreading old ground over and over again with it's earlier sequels, you do have to admire just how bizarre and weird Rob Zombie was able to make this film with his new ideas on how the Halloween story should end, regardless of if...

It may sound contradictory to call a remake of one of the most simplistic horror films ever made "different", but in truth it is. And it is for that reason Halloween 2007 has managed to stand out in the franchise from many of the weaker sequels. Even by comparison to H20, which did what it... Continue Reading →
For the most part, Halloween H20 wasn't just a bump in the franchise's quality after an array of worsening films, but it was the first one that I can actively call good and genuinely entertaining on more than one level since maybe Halloween 2 (1981). With that in mind, it's 2002 sequel, Halloween Ressurection, seemed... Continue Reading →
When you think about it, with the knowledge of just how far the franchise had fallen, resetting Halloween and returning to Michael Myers' obsession with Laurie Strode sounds like a bit of a desperate attempt to cling to relevancy. Based on the plot synopsis, it first appears to be nothing but retreading old ground. But... Continue Reading →
Halloween 6 is the most non-committal film in the franchise, despite introducing one of the wackiest plot elements of the original continuity. It's a curious title because the whole thing reeks of desperation - clearly a product that is trying very hard to be successful and unique from it's predecessors, while simultaneously not really doing...

So it's the end of October and boy, has it been one hell of a month! I've done so much writing... Like so much. Before the month started I already had a backlog of posts to fill it up - Having finished writing my review of Halloween 5 on the 1st or 2nd, checking back... Continue Reading →
After being shot down and buried within a deep pit in the previous film, Michael Myers escapes by crawling through a tunnel and floating down a river before being presumed dead for a year after nobody bothered to look for his body and confirm his demise. He is nursed back to health by a weirdo... Continue Reading →
