I have a huge soft spot for Halloween and all it's sequels up until H20. from then on the series has become self-parody I think. I actually like the much maligned Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers but I much prefer the Producer's Cut.
Halloween is probably Carpenter's best film, although I do enjoy The Thing. Halloween is definitely his best original film.
As for the direction I'd like to see the series take? I'd like them to return to the storyline of parts 4, 5 and 6. They'd have to explain how the hell Laurie managed to have two babies around the same time as each other who weren't twins of course but I'm sure they can work that out. If they can keep bringing Michael back from the dead then they can write a background story to an odd pregnancy!
If they ever bring Busta Rhymes back though I'll burn my DVDs!
