The COMPLETE "What's the Worst HalloweeN" Poll

[Kara Strode]

Which HalloweeN do you think is the less superior one in the series?

[complete]

Resurrection for me. Y'all know why.

And Matt, I wasn't meaning to exaggerate the goodness of Halloween 5, because everything I said is what I believe is the film, to me, in my own taste. And as Urg said, we all differ. So, to some people, I'm exaggerating, to others, I'm not.

Same goes for Dan, to some he's exaggerating over Resurrection's goodness and to others, he's not. It's all opiniated. Peace to you Dan, and I promise to try and not to 'shit' on your opinion. Just you wait till I see you on MSN again! haha.


PS: Out of curiosity, was the other thread closed because it wasn't 'organised' enough with all the entries, or because Resurrection had by far the most votes of being the worst, or because Halloween 3 wasn't on there?

It's about time ;) Starting a new (and better) thread is the way we should have handled it a long time ago.

...and I'm still sticking with Resurrection.

[Moron86]

I had to go with H3 on this one. To me, all the other Halloweens are enjoyable, even H:R, but this one just didn't hack it. H:R could have been a stand alone movie if Laurie weren't shown and Michael was just another monotonous crazy killer. Granted, it would be a cheesy slasher movie, but still enjoyable. H3 on the other hand is beyond comprehension to me. Trying to explain the premise to people who don't know about it makes me feel like I dropped an IQ point. I could care less that Michael wasn't in it, because John Carpenter wanted to push the series in a different direction, but this was a piss poor movie in my honest opinion.

[MischievousSpirit]

Piss poor my ass. You only think it was piss poor because it wasn't about Michael Myers. People seem to forget that Carpenter blew up Loomis and Myers at the end of Halloween II because he didn't want to keep writing the same movie over and over again. Halloween III has the true Halloween feel through and through, the only other sequel not counting Halloween II that even comes close to that feel is Halloween 4.

My opinion for the worst film is Resurrection. My reasons?

Paper thin characters.
Abmismol score. (Bring back Alan Howarth!!)
Michael's mask.
Showing Michael TOO much.
Lame humor.
Bustah Rhymes.
Rick Rosenthol.

The list goes on and on. I don't enjoy a movie that has to be the same story over an over again. Which is Michael Myers killing people. That gets boring.

The fact that Donald Pleasence is dead puts another hamper in the new series of sequels. They just feel completely empty without him, and nobody will be able to replace him.

In my opinion, the last true classics are Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween III, and Halloween IV.

People have full right to not like this movie and if they feel the need to call it a piece of shit, so be it. We don't think it was the worst one, but don't take it as a personal attack if someone does. He said he dislikes it for reasons besides the omission of Michael and you're still not happy.

[MischievousSpirit]

Who's taking it as a personal attack? He's the person who used the phrase "Piss Poor". I merely disagreed with him, and stated MY opinion on Halloween III, as well as the facts as to why it was made to begin with, and what I thought is the worst Hallwoeen film. You all are the ones taking some weird tone out of context in relation to my post assuming I'm pissed when I'm not.

[H-field Hero]

C'mon man, you always jump on people when they don't like Halloween III. Almost making it like no one is safe to speak negatively about the movie. I think we need to acknowledge that it's not a cinematic masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination.

[MischievousSpirit]

I don't like Resurrection but I don't have to completely trash it the way people do Halloween III.

None of these films are cinematic masterpieces if you want to be completely unbiased. Do you see me get on your ass for defending Halloween 4 just as vigourously when someone says they dislike it? Nobody else does either just because it's a Michael Myers film. But when you constantly endure people saying Halloween III is trash without really giving it a chance, it gets really old.

You don't sugar coat anyhing you say, I will not sugar coat anything I say either.

[MichaelMyers]

Ressurection, becuase it just plain sucked. It had nothing to do with anything after Laurie died. It was a dumb idea that should've never happened. The whole dangertainment thing and Busta was just dumb.

[boogeyman87]

Well, what a time to enter the conversation becuase I voted for Halloween III. It wasnt horrible, to tell you the truth I havent watched the whole thing. I've just seen bits and pieces of the film. My main beef or whatever with it is that it just doesnt intrigue me enough with what I've seen. The storyline on paper sounds good to me but I find when I try to watch it I just end up becoming bored with it.

You don't sugar coat anyhing you say, I will not sugar coat anything I say either. You're right, everytime I see a newbie make a thread in the H3 forum saying "this movie sux!!11", I roll my eyes, because it does get old. And yes, I do retort when I see people saying H4 is the worst simply because... well, how can you look at H5 and H6 and then say H4 was the worst. It's beyond me. Still though, Kyle isn't a new member trashing the film. He only said it was piss poor, which I don't agree with, but it's not like he said "this movie sucks the big cock because michael isn't in it".

And I encourge the non sugar coating of posts. We do have a few fakies on this board and it turns my stomach.

[MischievousSpirit]

The fact is, I'm disagreeing with someone's OPINONS. Not completely degrading their character, or attacking them personally. There's a difference.

You obviously grazed over my comment because I clearly said:

The fact remains that I said it was my opinion . You can have yours, but don't call me out on something I clearly stated, that I could care less that Michael wasn't in it .

[Spongerboy]

Call me stupid, but I seem to remember you putting the fact that he didn't like 3 because it omitted myers... in his mouth.

[Kara Strode]

exactly

the fact of the matter is, there was a time I didn't like H3...and SHOCK SURPRISE! It was NOT because Michael wasn't in it. I just didn't enjoy the film. Now I do.

People can like it for other reasons..

and I voted for h20. I think my reasons have been made clear over the years.

I picked it because Michael wasn't in it...oh, wait, nm

[Remicis]

It would be a shame to have to close this thread at such a young age.

While I'm not calling for sugar-coating as far as opinions on movies, I do ask that you all respect the aforementioned opinions and don't generalize or put words in each other's mouths. Especially since this thread is dedicated to trashing one of the movies in the series.

[NCamp]

Im going to have to go with H5. Ill give Resurrection a slight pass, only because the mask was much better than in 5. H5 had too many annoying characters IMO.

[Dr. Wynn]

I voted H:R

H5 is bad
but at least it has Donald Pleasance, Jamie, Rachel and other memorable characters

H:R had Curtis (who wasnt that great and only a 5 minute part)
and Busta is a poor substitute for Loomis

H3 is pretty bad but had some redeeming qualities
but HR had none

That's also true. I don't like Resurrection at all either but I refrain from trashing it the way people trash Halloween III and 5. At least Moron86 dislikes H3 for all the right reasons (meaning, not because of Michael's omission).

If you watched the whole movie your opinions would remain the same, but I think your post would be more valuable and agreeable if you actually sat down and saw it from beginning to end. No offense or anything, that's just the way I see it.

Well that was a slap in the face but alright, I'll try to watch it sometime so my posts can be of value to the board.

[MMyers89]

Well, I voted for H3 (what a surprise.) I voted for TWO reasons.

1) (you're gonna hate this.) Michael isn't in it. I fell in love with the Halloween movies because of Micheal. The first two movies were about him and thats what I fell in love with, sure I like the Halloween atmosphere, but that doesn't make a Halloween movie. It was about Michael in the first movies, you can't just take that away. Its like Jurassic Park without dinosaurs, Star Wars without space. I.E: Lame.

2) I just don't think H3 is a good movie, Halloween or not. Its just lame. I thought the plot was terrible, though I admit the ending was well done.

Now, those were VALID reasons so don't fuck me in the ass for my opinions.

[Myers63]

I voted for Resurrection as being my least favorite.

I'm glad to see it's winning the losing votes, and deservedly so,imo.

H3 fanatics just seem to get pissed because that's the reason they see on these forums so much.

I'll back you on this one too. I don't buy into the spiel that the lack of Myers is a somehow "invalid" reason for disliking H3...I've explained that before. And for the same reason quoted above, that is part (repeating that I said PART) of my rationale for not caring for that movie. Look, Michael Myers is what attracted me to the Halloween series. He's why I'm a Halloween fan. He's why I've devoted my valuable time and money to keeping up with these movies. So if you're going to drop Myers from the movie, you better have something that'll equally capture my interest to take his place. H3 didn't. Simple fact. No getting around it. And as I've also said before, it's not just the lack of Myers that detracts from it, it's the lack of any connection whatsoever to the other movies. After all, while Michael's my primary interest, he's not the only thing I enjoy about the series...I also like Loomis, I like Thorn, I like the characters we've seen, and if the movie had included any of those things without including Michael, I still would've been happy. But none of what we got in H3 captivated me as much as the elements contained in the other films. I thought the plot was hokey, and the characters didn't appeal to me at all.

But yes. Not including Michael Myers is among my reasons for not liking H3, and I'm not afraid to say it.

Worst movie in the series, though? Well, it's squaring off with H:R for that spot. Not sure at this point which one "wins."

[H-field Hero]

Halloween: Resurrection is the lesser of the halloween films. It's the one I watch the least (barely ever). Many factors go into it being not all that re-watchable. Most of those I've covered since being a member of the board.

[ShadowX81]

H5-It isnt as good as h4, but atleast it has good charachters. It feels like a halloween film. Also I really enjoy the 3rd act.

H20-This is an example of a good movie gone teenie bopper. IT was a really good premise (besides the h4-h6 ignoring) and some scenes are awsome. Definatly worthy of the halloween name. However to appeal to a wider audience it was teenie-boppered up.

HR- This by far is the worst halloween movie. This is like what I said about h20, however without the good premise. It was pretty much pure tennie bopper. Busta was there just for star appeal. There was way too much humor. Even humor that didnt have to be in there. Suck as the scene where they are smoking pot. Apsolutly no purpose. The charachters were about as deep as a kiddie pool and you didnt care that they died. All the actors were horrible. Im not even gonna mention the stupidity laurie showed in the beginning. Also deker and his party had no point either. And on top of all that, it had to do with reality tv. SOmething I loathe to begin with. Not worthy of the halloween name.

Well im going to lay my cards down...I hate H3,but not as much as,I hate H5,what a surprise.This movie lacks any creativity to me.And that god ugly mask,what in the hell were they thinking...:rolleyes:

[halo thirty one]

i hate halloween 2!!!!!!






seriously though, i flip flop from 5 to 6 to 8 as far as the worst halloween goes, whether it's because of bad acting/annoying characters, bad costumes and sets or stupid storylines. they all have it. i ended up voting for part 8 because at least 5 and 6 had something to like about them. well, 8 did have an ok shape in brad loree and the music wasn't toooooo bad.

as far as halloween 3 goes, i have an interesting perspective on that one. i have mentioned this on the original board; part 3 was the first halloween movie i ever watched and i hated it. so, because it was my first halloween experience, i can't blame the fact that michael myers wasn't in it as the reason why i didn't like it. i will admit that i was used to friday the 13th and a nightmare on elm st movies at the time, so maybe i was expecting some sort of slasher character. the main reason i was disappointed is that it just didn't scare me. hell, poltergeist and gremlins were scarier to me.

but these days i like the movie a lot more than i did back then. one reason why is seeing it on dvd, in the widescreen format, with no commercials. i really think it makes a huge difference, at least for me. the music and the photography in the movie are great. i also really enjoy the ending when chalis is screaming into the phone. that scene gives me the chills now (as does the end of halloween 5 when jamie says "noo" and it echoes).

Kinda late to jump in on the thread, continuing from the last one, and I'm not sure if who I am speaking to is in this thread... but ah well.

The Clown Cops were supposed to be humorous back in 89'.
Hell, maybe they were to some people...but, Busta' was supposedly humorous??

Originall posted by MyersFan75
My main point is...Halloween should not be funny...its a horror movie. A couple of funny jokes could be thrown in of course - but don't be like Resurrection and make the WHOLE film a complete joke.

Later,
MyersFan75

Do you realise how contradictive your post was? You claim that the clown cops were supposed to be humourous in 1989 (yet I don't see how, they were just retarded), and then you go on to say that a Halloween film shouldn't be humourous at all. Try and straighten out your opinions.

Originally posted by ShadowX81

That has got to be one of the funniest lines ever typed on this board. Partly because I find the phrase "teeny bopper" stupid and funny sounding, and mainly because it's not actually a word...



And finally, my vote. It is a very close tie between Halloween 3 and Halloween 5. Halloween 3 tried to be something it was not -- it tried to be cool and it was just lame. People may take pride saying they like this movie on the board, but it was really really boring. The plotline was absurdly stupid, it sounded like it belonged in a comic, and I don't see how we were meant to take it seriously. Some halloween masks taking over kids at Halloween should be a comedy/action adventure starring Batman or some other hero, not tried to be made scary into a horror film, because it simply doesn't work.

Now, Halloween 5. The movie lost style, direction and a decent storyline. People said that I was wrong to call out the director having no knowledge of previous films. I beg to differ. He had the stupid Myers' house, Jamie was mute at the beginning (WTF? It was annoying as hell) and most importantly, it didn't follow on well from one of the best endings in the series (IMO), from Halloween 4. The characters were annoying as hell, lead by their ringleader known as Tina, as the last half hour that Jamie actually spoke, a little 11 year old girl out-acted everyone. Loomis was annoying as hell, and don't get me started on the stupid Looney-Tunes style "metal-net-to-capture-Michael" ending, topped off with Loomis trying to beat Michael with a piece of wood.

Overall, I think I will pick Halloween 3, just for the confused mess it was.

[Icebreaker_8605]

Halloween : Resurrection. H8 lacked so many things which is why it turned out poorly. Jamie Lee's appearance is small, but effective. But it makes it seem like Michael's done with his family, which is in fact NOT. Baby Stephen and John Tate ring a bell for the production? Then we see Sara, a very weak heroine........she would've been dead sooner had it not been for Deckard. Halloween 5 and 6 weren't that great either, but H8 takes the cake.

He really didn't contradict himself. He said that apparently they were supposed to be funny, so the humor was on purpose. He's saying that he doesn't think Halloween's SHOULD be funny.

Had he have said "Halloween 5 is HILARIOUS, I LOVED IT" then said "I don't think they should be funny," then he would have contradicted himself.

Stating a supposed fact, then an opinion isnt not a contradiction.

As I began thinking about the series as a whole, I thought about each movie separately and really every movie has its eerie, creepy parts...even Resurrection...but HIII got my vote, just b/c it didn't have Michael Myers in it...but it is a great movie nevertheless...

[Evil Never Dies]

Halloween III for me. It has nothing to do with Michael not being in it (sometimes you need to think of some fresh stuff) but the whole story didn't grab me. It had some good parts but it still gets my vote on this one.

For me it is Resurrection mainly because of the horrible casting. Busta Rhymes really ruined this one for me and I cringe from embarrassment whenever I see the kung-fu scene between him and Michael or by watching "Deckard" come to the rescue with the cheesy chats.

While I definitely can appreciate the unique kills (like the cameraman), I just still cannot appreciate this one as much as I do all the others. I own it and yes I watch it because I love Michael and the whole Halloween series but this is the weakest link so far and I am hoping that Halloween 9 will be better because if not, then that one will be my least favorite but I am hoping for the best.

H6 T cut has grown on me. When I saw it in the theatre I didn't like the new style for a Halloween movie. The only movie that hasn't grown on me is Resurrection.

I hated the H6 T-Cut for a very long time (before joining the board), but it has grown on me also - in fact, more than any of the others.

[Loomis 91]

Maybe I'll learn to love it.

I just hate the score, flash editing, & confusing storyline (I understand it now, though.).

[somebigguy]

Even though I felt like I'd been raped after watching 6, H8 was definitely the worst. Although the first ten minutes or so were cool.

Halloween III has the true Halloween feel through and through, the only other sequel not counting Halloween II that even comes close to that feel is Halloween 4.

My opinion for the worst film is Resurrection. My reasons?

Paper thin characters.
Abmismol score. (Bring back Alan Howarth!!)
Michael's mask.
Showing Michael TOO much.
Lame humor.
Bustah Rhymes.
Rick Rosenthol.

The list goes on and on. I don't enjoy a movie that has to be the same story over an over again. Which is Michael Myers killing people. That gets boring.

The fact that Donald Pleasence is dead puts another hamper in the new series of sequels. They just feel completely empty without him, and nobody will be able to replace him.

In my opinion, the last true classics are Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween III, and Halloween IV.

In the older copy of this thread - before it moved to this one...were you agreeing with my take on the lame humor in Halloween Resurrection and somewhat H5?? I'm just wondering - I do agree with you anyhow...Halloween needs to be brought back to HALLOWEEN. The humor isn't needed, FT13th isn't needed, and Scream fo' sho' isn't needed.

LMAO, sorry bout' the "fo' sho'" remark. Just couldn't help it.

Jamie was supposedly raped by Michael in H6...maybe there is a connection there.

Besides, H6 was good IMO. I thought it had well developed and interesting characters, a good mask, a better house, a great theme, a perfect tone and mood, an interesting story, returning characters, and of course Donald Pleasence. EDIT: Of course I mean the P-Cut..not the T-Cut.

I can agree with the latest sentiments on H6 as well. I had a vile hatred for it after I first saw it, but due to a lot of the reasons I brought up in the H6 review thread, it has grown on me. And I can appreciate it on some level. It's still just the fucked up ending and ruin of the Thorn storyline that bugs the shit outta me, though.

[freethy]

In comparison to the original they are all lacking. I could do without 7 instalments of this series so what does that tell you? It tells you "Don't make anymore fucking halloween movies" They are getting worse and worse. The worse one is the last one they threw out. Then h5-h6-h3-h4-h2.

I know many fans dislike these movies, but they did have great endings.

Well, Resurrection and Curse aren't my favotires, but I still had to vote for H3. It’s not nearly as good a horror movie than the other Halloween films. The story is decent, but when I watch a Halloween movie I want horny teenagers, lots of stalking in the day, lots of running / screaming in the night, creepy foreshadowing, and some slicing and dicing.

By the way, how could anyone vote for H20??? :(

I beg your pardon.They should have just kept it after H2.Then put it on ice,then if they wanted to make a Halloween movie. Revolving around the ideas of H3 would have been ok..

Even that I could have lived with. I just really don't see the point in making more and more myers movies. Halloween 1 was fine the way it was. They could have decided to make spin off story lines right there and then. I know alot ofp[eople like H2 and it is the best attempt at a real halloween movie since the original, but it destroyed everything carpenter had put foward in the first place.

And if you ignore the wierd sound effects by the clown cops they arnt that bad.

[Hall9ween]

The problem is, is that the "weird noise" is what the clown cops are all about. They play off that insanely stupid noise, and act upon it. So in essence, you cannot forget that noise, because it is a part of their character. It would be like me saying "forget the kung fu noises Busta makes, and his character aint half bad", because it's like ignoring a major part of their character trait.

And hang on, Tina as somewhat likeable? No way. Her character was no where near likeable. If I had to slap her across the face everytime she annoyed me, she would of had no face left by the end of the movie. The sad thing is, is that she realised how shit her character was, so she tried to redeem some brownie points with the infamous nipple slip near her demise. However, in the end, it didn't work I'm afraid...

I wouldnt say it destroyed the glow of Halloween .It was the perfect send off.We can debate this till the end of time.Because somebody will say we needed H4.But not really H2 could have ended this series at a grand closing.Then Carpenter,could have said"ok the Myers saga is over".Let make a Halloween film thats related to idea of the holiday,but completely different.Which was done causing this major split among fans..

[Phatmaster2k8]

I voted for H5. The reason I didn't go with everybody else here is because at least Resurrection tried something new. It didn't work out yes, but at least they tried. Halloween 5 on the other hand didn't, same characters, different names. The plot was the same damn thing as in H4, hell at least H2 played out somewhere else, H5 didn't. The only new thing in H5 was the Man in Black, and he at first was unoriginally going to be Michael's twin brother. The kills were terrible, at least H8 had some decent kills. The chase scenes were pathetic, I started to doze off during the laundry vent sequence. Michael was at his worse, Shanks looked uncomfortable and the mask had to go....couldn't they tuck it in somehow? They never really explained Jamie and her premonitions and Michael in jail? Haha I can see him now...."Don't I get one call?" The only thing I liked about H5 is the offing of Rachel in the beginning.....but then we are stuck with this sidekick name Tina.......who the hell are you and should I care what happens to you? And they gave this movie's subtitle "The Revenge of Michael Myers"......

Carpenter did call it a day with Myers after halloween 2. Moustapha brung him back if I am not mistaken. Like I said, I could have lived with H2 being the last movie made with myers. But I also could have done without 2 also. That's just me though. INfact, on this board I think it IS just me that thinks like that lol.

What you don't know, won't hurt you... or what I am trying to say, if we didn't have any sequels, then people wouldn't expect the Halloween franchise, just the one Halloween movie.

[fanatic986]

Halloween 3 is such an easy target, and Resurrection was ok, but I voted for H20.
It was like an episode of Dawsons Creek, and Myers was hardly in it except for the first 10 minutes and not until the last ten minutes.
And I hate how they ignored 4-6!

The only part I liked was the fact that Laurie was back, but even that was handled foolishly.

[AnnieAnimosity]

I honestly thought H: Resurrection was the worse installment into the series. The film was lacking in character development, the story was geared directly at teenagers, and the actors weren't worth the money they paid for their wardrobes. In this film, they went in a completely different direction and they failed. I just hope the producers realize this so they don't make H:9 like H:R.

Well really HR,was a carbon copy of H20.Nothing more nothing less..

[AnnieAnimosity]

I really don't think H:R was a "carbon copy" of H20. At least in H20, they had decent actors, had the actual killing-family-members plot, and brought back the one who started it all.

[6Michael6Myers6]

i don't see how anyone can compare H20 and HR...H20 was by far better, for one the characters are actually believeable, and two the killing family thing was there...bringing back Laurie Strode was by far one of the best moves the series made

If the sounds are actually on your VHS copy, and you never noticed the stupid little music, you have got to be kidding me. I have watched all the Halloween films with my dad (except H6), and when the stupid cops came on the screen with their little theme music, me and my dad literally looked at each other and rolled our eyes. He even said "What the fuck was that?", if I remember correctly.

Even without their theme tune they act like stupid idiots.

I have to admit i had to ask somebody on UHMB Who were the Clown Cops?.I had seen certain members make reference to them but i didn't have a clue.I had already seen the movie but never paid much attention to the crappy circus music they played.

cheers

[AnnieAnimosity]

Oh man!!!! I noticed the circus music the first time I saw H:5. I thought it was hysterical and the most annoying danm thing EVER >.<

[Silverpsycho]

LOL, when I heard the little weird noises they played for the clown cops, I was like "what the Hell is this?!" because it was so strange to add that. For a long while, I absolutely hated 5 the most but now I am a big fan of it, especially upon comparing it to Resurrection.

Plus, I agree with others on here that H20 is not as bad as Resurrection. Jamie Lee did a great job, there were all kinds of tributes, we still had a family killing spree going on and it felt like one of the older movies but had the added touch of current times because of course we cannot always have that 70's/ 80's feel to them. Calling a recent film teenybopper is kind of cheap because the style of the film just fit the 90's. I mean Resurrection did have a lot of unique elements to it, showing the time we live in and what people are like but that cast that was chosen is just not memorable. Their acting skills stunk and always felt forced, as though they were all trying out for a porn academy award. With Jamie officially gone, I can't see the series really picking up again but we can all cross our fingers and hope for a really good 9th installment. Til then, Resurrection is still the only one I watch the least and cringe at if I do. The only thing that makes it worthy in the series are some great kills...that's it.

[Phatmaster2k8]

Can somebody please explain to me how you can actually like H5? That movie gives me a headache everytime I see it.

[Silverpsycho]

Well after watching Halloween 5 again and again, I start to enjoy the weirdness of it. It definitely has a comedic tone and it sets itself apart from the others while still maintaining a good reputation of a good cast and enjoyable acting. This is definitely one of the installments you can watch with a bunch of friends and goof off with. I cannot say the same for the rest of the Halloween movies since I like to watch those by myself and enjoy the dark value and storyline. Halloween 5 is just a fun horror that is quite unique in the series.

I shutter at thinking of H5 being good. Other then Rachel's death scene I thought the kills were so unoriginal and dull anybody could make up better ones.

And do I even have to start on the cops?

Meh, whatever. I get what you mean Laow but with a changing of a lead singer you are still talking about the same band. Halloween 3 had nothing to do with Michael Myers, but it also wasn't the same movie as H1 and H2. With a band you have the same people making the same kind of music, with H3 you had the same people making a different kind of movie. What you said would of been like making H4 with Jason Voorhees and not Michael. Would major fans of the series notice a difference? Yes, but the casual movie-goer wouldn't. Just like the changing of a lead singer. Saying H3 sucks just because Michael Myers doesn't show up just isn't much to fly with. You need more then that.

[Laow-Z]

Yea I guess the band thing wasn't the best example but it still holds up though. Although they make the same kind of music if the lead singer is totally different then that'll change everything. Like the thread on David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar? Same band/music but totally different singers. Some love one and some love the other so when a major change comes along to something that we grew to love and consider the best in the series H1 & H2 and doesn't have that main character, not liking one because of that is a valid reason.
Don't know if this makes sense, it sounds better in my head before i type it:)

I guess when you think of it that way you have a point. But if I would review Halloween 3 as a stand alone film, without the movies that came before it, I would like it and recommend it anybody else who is interested.

For me, Halloween 3. Not because Michael Myers isn't in it, but the storyline was just terrible. Trading in Michael for cyborgs and toy making druids and masks that turn kid's brains in to bugs is just dumb. I know druids were in Halloween 6, but that worked for the movie. At least Halloween 8 had the Myers house, Laurie, stupid teens getting killed, and of course Michael. Plus I don't like movies where they kill little children. I know in H4-5 he was trying to kill a 8-9 year old, but he never succeeded and a little kid for once became a hero.

Sub-plots? Enlighten us.

To me, the old "no Michael Myers" is NOT a reason. JC and Debra Hill didn't create the movie because they lost their minds. In their eyes, H3 was totally legit because their central purpose had been to create a movie circling around the idea of Halloween with no specific characters, especially not ones relating to the first two. Whether or not you want to agree, the name of the series is broad enough to allow other storylines to follow. No one ever designated the series to Michael. Hate the movie all you want, but don't be oblivious to the facts. And don't hate a movie because you didn't get what you preferred.

The thing that always makes me laugh is that critics and moviegoers always complain about how horror sequels are such repetitive carbon-copies of their original, and of even other horror franchises as well, but when Halloween III came along, the same people bitched to no end. You can't win.

H:R could have been a stand alone movie if Laurie weren't shown and Michael was just another monotonous crazy killer. Granted, it would be a cheesy slasher movie, but still enjoyable. H3 on the other hand is beyond comprehension to me. Trying to explain the premise to people who don't know about it makes me feel like I dropped an IQ point. I could care less that Michael wasn't in it, because John Carpenter wanted to push the series in a different direction, but this was a piss poor movie in my honest opinion.

(Sorry, can't relate to you by name!), but that is a perfectly good reason to dislike a movie. Because a movie didn't show something that we would have preferred to what it atually portrayed... that is a reason for many people disliking movies. A perfect example recently of this happening for me, was when I went to see Creep. I was expecting to see an all out scary British film from the film's premise and trailers, and from what I had saw before. But, when it came down to it, the film was dodgily acted and crap. I would have preferred a better movie. ;)

And Halloween 3 having no Michael Myers in it, actually is a valid reason not to like the movie. I'm getting more bored of people saying that it isn't a valid reason, than the people that supposedly say "all the time" that Halloween 3 sucks because Michael is not in it.

[MyersFan927]

Hall9ween, I understand what you mean, but what ticks me off even more on the whole issue (no one specific) is that people act as if a non Michael Myers entry is not deserving to be in the Halloween series. You're either going to love or hate H3, and the name of the movie shouldn't change anything. Now it would be a whole other thing if someone disliked the movie for purely its content instead of its spot in the series. Let me ask you something - if you heard that another non-Michael sequel will be coming out, would you be prejudiced of the movie on the spot? Would you watch it with an open mind, and if you enjoyed it to a great extent, would you hate the idea of it being part of the Michael Myers - oops, Halloween - series?

Josh, where are you when us H3 extremists need you? Help us argue!

Another non Myers movie.Probably would not generate much intrest.I wouldnt pre judge it.But would hope it had a damn good plot..

[shrike]

It all boils down to one thing.

The name of the series is HALLOWEEN

not michael myers.

[hall0weendream]

Let me start off by saying that I haven't seen Halloween 3, so I didn't include it in my judging. I also personally don't think people give Resurrection a chance. It wasn't a great movie, but it wasn't a horrible movie. It was a lot better than most of the new horror movies out now. I think everyone looked at it differently. It's kind of a stand alone film compared to the other Michael movies. Michael is in it yes, but it took on a new plot, characters, and feelings. I can't say it worked for the series, but it was a chance they took. Anyways, I'm going to have to vote for HalloweeN VI - Theatrical Cut. The more I watch it the less I enjoy it. The Producer's Cut was 10 times better.

[shrike]

Resurrection for me.......


At the time when it came out I was fresh out of college and went to work as an orientation specialist for a trade school....so I was surrounded by youngsters all the time.

Of course, they all thought the movie was great.

What I didnt like about the movie, was that the film catered more towards them, young kids who have no real comprehension or love for the series. They didnt seem to care about the real fans who are dedicated to Halloween, and john carpenters vision.

I picked apart the movie for them in minutes....and I was met with a sharp.."aaah you dont know what your talking about"

:rolleyes:


kids are gonna be kids.......

but i had a serious problem with this movie.

thanks to busta rhymes lame performance....

People knowing im a myers fan always bring up.....

"well busta kicked his ass"

Its really getting irritating now.

[Beau]

Oh come on man, everyone knows Halloween: Resurrection is the worst Halloween film to date. It sucked. I would of said Halloween 5 but because of the whole Busta Rymes thing i hate H:R more. I hope Halloween 9 is better.

I wouldn't be prejudice towards it, 'cause at the end of the day, it's another movie. Halloween or not, I try and have an open mind to any film.

If after reading a synopsis for it and seeing the previews and realised it was as lame as cyborg-infested H3 was (IMO), then I would judge it.

I'd like to invite the 2 other people that voted for H20 over for a movie night...we'll watch 1 and 2 and shun h20 ;)

[Robert Beaudoin]

I don't hate the film, but out of all 8 of these, the least liked, I would say, would be Halloween 3. It didn't have Michael Myers in it.

[MyersFan927]

I didn't expect H3 to come in second, being that I thought there were more H5 haters on the board. But at least it's not anywhere near Resurrection. We need more H20 votes!

You're shocked that some people didn't like H20?
The setting sucked (California???).
The movie resulted in H4-6 being ignored in terms of current continuity.
It also wasn't scary at all.
This movie returned Laurie Strode to the series and should have been so much better. The movie itself was mediocre and the fact that they did away with the H4-6 continuity in order to give us H20 makes things even worse.

[MyersFan927]

Last night, before I went to bed, I was thinking of H20 and realized that it has to be the most boring movie in the series. At least the other ones have spunk. H20 is just...blah. I barely watch it. But that's me.

How bout we all respect each other's opinions? Truth is, not too many people are crazy about H20 anyway, and for good reasons. Back to topic?

Completely agreed. It's kind of my fault for even responding to an obvious attempt to bait me, but screw it.
All I was saying is that I was dissapointed with H20. The fact that it ignores the three previous movies was only part of the reason for that. California was a bad setting (I know the original Halloween was shot in California, but they at least tried to make it look like the midwest), and the movie really wasn't that scary. It wasn't terrible, but it should have been better. This was the 20th anniversary of the original and Jamie Lee Curtis was back. It just felt like it was a bit of a let down.

I didn't like h20 because it didn't include 4-6...and if that argument gets old, well, so does half the other arguments here.

I also didn't like it because of the role that Laurie took. She became the hunter, and Michael the hunted. That didn't set well with me. Also, it was too "Scream" like for me. Like Vincent said, I found it boring as well.

I never really thought of Michael as the hunted in H20. It was pretty much a mutal confrontation. Laurie finally decided to stop running, but it's not like Michael got scared and took off. Michael didn't think, "Oh shit, my sis is after me now! I better get the *$#@ out of here!". If they had a scene of Michael retreating or acting afraid, THAT would have been messed up.

I liked the little turnaround that happened.
H2o isn't on the top of my list because I like the darker and grittier feel of the first and fourth ones the best.

But honestly, as I'm not a huge fan of H20, but I do have to point out, that she's only the hunter for like 30 seconds, then a further 10 seconds when she goes all stabby on his ass. The rest of the time, he's chasing her, through the dining room, kitchens etc.

Laurie was running and afraid of Michael for 20 years. She finally realized that she had to face him in order to destroy her demons once and for all. It's not that uncommon for people who are bullied and afraid to suddenly strike out against their tormentor. We all have a limit to how far we can be pushed before we push back, and when Michael went after her son, Laurie reached hers. As far as Michael being hunted, I wouldn't put it that way. They were hunting each other. He didn't turn tail and run from Laurie.
What would people have prefered? Should Laurie have curled up in a corner and started sucking her thumb rather than finally fighting back?

Dr.Todd? That I can handle. Yeah, Michael finally got the best of Laurie, but only because she was a dumb ass and fell for his "feeling the mask to make her think it's not really me" trick. How he would have known the paramedic in H20 did that is beyond me since Michael wasn't there when it happened, but whatever. Laurie should have simply cut the rope and let him fall, but oh no, she had to be stupid. You'd think she would have learned her lesson by that point.

[MischievousSpirit]

We're talking about the 6th and 7th movies in a horror series here. All logic went out the window the moment in the original Halloween when Michael disappeared after Loomis shot him 6 times at point blank range.

I agree with you 100% Todd. She had reached her limit and was NOT 17 anymore. There comes a time when we all grow up and have to face our demons so to speak.

Bustas character was pure camp, appropriate for a comedy, not so much for a scary movie. Yeah, he certainly "lightened up" the movie, but how was that a good thing? Halloween movies are supposed to be frightening, not silly.
