I have only seen each of those films once each back years ago so maybe if i revisit them my opinion will change i can't remember much about them to be honest.

Exactly. It steals from the movies it's supposedly ignoring.

The more i think about it the more i hate it!

My guess is they don't.

Forty years is a hell of a gap between films. But then again it must take Laurie a fair while to turn her basement into something Vin Diesel and Jason Statham would admire.

H20 works far better as a sequel.

Another issue was the writing out of Halloween II. It's said by one character that five people were killed that night, and he's basically incredulous that Strode could still be so traumatized by events forty years on despite the fact she didn't witness any of the deaths anyway.

Now if they'd allowed II to be canon than it would have been much more believable as she was involved in a hospital killing spree.

Probably but it would also make it a completely different film so who knows.

The rest of it is still deeply flawed with characters poorly or under written.

I’ve only seen 4 and 5 once each, I’ve seen 6 more times than it deserves haha.

I’ll rewatch them some time soon and before I watch Halloween 2018 again.

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)



This film probably isn't as good as how much I like it! I really like it, maybe the old nostalgia goggles in play. I saw this in the cinema, in fact it's the only from the whole franchise I saw in the cinema! I like the 90s teen drama cast, I like the Kevin Williamson-esque dialogue, I like the 90s jukebox soundtrack! I think the worst parts of the film are down to Jamie Lee Curtis and her hysteria, although I do love that bit where she orders a glass of wine and chugs down a whole untouched glass before the replacement arrives and then she pretends like she's just taking a sip from the new one

Reminds me of this famous pap shot
