Halloween (1978)
Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tony Moran |
The film which ushered in the modern age of horror stands well above its many sequels and
clones because John Carpenter's taut direction makes it truly scary. Jamie Lee Curtis in her debut role plays a
babysitter who must protect herself from the deadly Michael Myers a mental institution escapee who killed his
sister on Halloween fifteen years earlier. Called "the most successful independent motion picture of all time"
HALLOWEEN is also one of most frightening films ever made. |

Halloween II (1981)
Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence, Charles Cyphers |
"You can't kill the boogeyman," explains John Carpenter in Halloween, and to prove it he brings
Michael Myers back in this handsome but grisly sequel. Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie Strode but spends most
of her time cowering in a hospital gown, and Donald Pleasence runs around like a maniac as the panicky doctor
desperate to hunt down Myers before he kills again. Carpenter writes and produces with partner Debra Hill, and
together they replace the mystery and uncertainty of the original with an exponentially bigger body count and
some strange tales about the Druids and pagan ceremonies, and the now-familiar family ties between Michael and
Laurie. |

Halloween III - Season Of The Witch (1982)
Tom Atkins, Jadeen Barbor, Al Berry |
After the mysterious death of a toyshop owner, a doctor and the man's daughter investigate the
Irish-dominated Northern California community of Santa Mira, a company town owned by the Silver Shamrock Novelty
corporation. The two are typical low-rent horror movie protagonists, dim bulbs who discover an Invasion of the
Body Snatchers-style conspiracy involving sharp-suited corporate robots. But guest star Dan O'Herlihy steals the
film as a Celtic joke tycoon who hates the way American kids are despoiling the religious spirit of Samhain and
decides to teach them a nasty lesson. His scheme, which involves a stolen Stonehenge megalith and a techno-magic
spell that turns the heads of TV watchers into writhing masses of snakes and insects, is value for money, and
O'Herlihy mixes enough serious malice into the charm to come across as a great screen bad guy. |

Halloween 4 - The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
Donald Pleasence, Ellie Cornell, Danielle Harris |
Laurie is gone, but guess who's back in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers? Acting as if
the third entry never existed, this installment picks up 10 years after the original, with mad maniac Myers in a
coma and moved to a new facility. But wouldn't you know it that as soon as a loose-lipped orderly lets slip that
Myers has a surviving niece he springs back into action, leaving a bloody trail of corpses on the road to
Haddonfield. Donald Pleasance returns as Dr. Loomis, scarred and crippled from his last encounter with Myers and
seething with a fanatical zeal to stop the freak from repeating his previous rampage. Pleasance is the best thing
about the film as an aging hero seemingly on the verge of madness who drags a bum leg in his manic rush to save
little orphan Jamie, the 10-year-old terrorized by her homicidal uncle. |

Halloween 5 - The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)
Donald Pleasence, Danielle Harris, Ellie Cornell |
Starting around Halloween 4, that masked nut Michael Myers stopped chasing his sister (played
by Jamie Lee Curtis in the first and second films, as well as Halloween H20) and went after his niece. Now he's
chasing her around again in part 5, but it's a lot of other people who die in the process. Donald Pleasence
continues his mad-doctor bit from the earlier movies, Danielle Harris is the unfortunate relation, and Donald L.
Shanks plays the monster. The film is an improvement on parts 2 and 4 (part 3 having nothing to do with Michael
Myers), but it still amounts to routine slaughter with none of John Carpenter's stylistic brilliance from the
original movie. |

Halloween (2007)
Malcolm McDowell, Brad Dourif, Tyler Mane |
More of a supercharged revamp than a remake, Rob Zombie's take on John Carpenter's Halloween
expands the back story of masked killer Michael Myers in an attempt to examine the motivation for his first
deadly attack, as well as some reasons for his longevity as a horror icon. Zombie's Myers is a blank-eyed teen
whose burgeoning mental problems are left unchecked in a horrific home environment; harassed by schoolmates, a
randy sister, and his mother's deadbeat boyfriend, Myers' homicidal explosion seems inevitable, and intervention
by Dr. Sam Loomis does little to impede his development into a mute, unstoppable killing machine bent on
finishing off the only survivor of his family's massacre--his sister, now grown into teenaged Laurie Strode. |
