Halloween 4 and 5 were the newest films in the series when I got into the series and I have fond memories of renting them. 5 disappointed me as a child after the incredible end of 4. Been with the series for a long time and my preferences have changed over the years. There’s no question if I was still in high school, I’d probably be shitting all over Ends, rather than ranking it in my top 5. Let’s see how it ages. I’m also a little more easygoing now than in the past. Resurrection had me clutching my pearls at the disrespect when I saw it in theaters and I used to give it a 1. Now I don’t take it as seriously and I’ve quoted Busta for 20 years at this point so it gets a few extra points for making me smile over the years. Answer from jlaw1719 on reddit.com

r/Halloweenmovies on Reddit: How would you rank all of the Halloween movies now?
August 17, 2022 -

I'm genuinely curious what everyone's favorite/least favorite is. I'm sure the #1 is universally going to be the same, but maybe we'll be surprised. Plus, the most interesting is what everyone has as their worst Halloween movie. So, here's mine;

    1. Halloween (1978)

  • 2. Halloween (2007)

  • 3. Halloween 2 (1981)

  • 4. Halloween 3 (1982)

  • 5. Halloween (2018)

  • 6. Halloween H20 (1998)

  • 7. Halloween Kills (2021)

  • 8. Halloween 4 (1988)

  • 9. Halloween 2 (2009)

  • 10. Halloween 5 (1989)

  • 11. Halloween 6 (1995)

  • 12. Halloween Ends (2022)

  • 13. Halloween Resurrection (2002)

December 18, 2024 - Now obviously, the masks in this film are awful, and I feel people judge the film based on that. I do a little bit too, but once you look past the whole mask thing you’ll find a fun and fresh 90’s slasher film, and one of the best post-Scream era movies. Coming in at number 4 is, well, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988).

Michael Myers Halloween Movies Ranked From Worst to Best | TIME
October 14, 2022 - Danny Trejo as Ismael Cruz, Tyler Mane as Michael Myers and Lew Temple as Noel Kluggs in "Halloween".Snap Stills/Shutterstock · Rob Zombie spends the first hour of his remake trying to explain why Michael is the way he is, which is both unnecessary and unsuccessful. Plenty of people have dark childhoods and don’t grow up to be serial killers, Rob! This Halloween is also two hours long, which is an absolutely insane length for a horror movie, and is significantly more violent than the ’80s and ’90s ones.

October 27, 2024 - Watching this when I was younger, this is one that stuck with me the most...for me, this was probably the most cool, calculated and brutal kill from Myers in the original film. You briefly forget its Michael under the sheet as it offers a light-hearted, humorous moment due his 'Halloween Costume' complete with Bob's glasses. And then the music kicks back in and you realise that Lynda is a goner! Fun fact- actress P.J. Soles went to a screening of the movie after it was released, sitting in the fourth row of a regular audience.
