Which Halloween movie is the best?

This is an easy one because there’s only one good Halloween movie; Rob Zombie’s remake of the original. All the rest; said original, all other remakes and sequels included; are mediocre at best. The worst; Season Of The Witch; is downright atrocious.

I like Michael Myers as a character. His stoic ominous ways make him the quintessential bogeyman; a classic horror movie villain à la Frankenstein; but his legacy has been ruined by vacuous storytelling. Even Zombie’s sequel is a disappointment.

Letting the world know in the subtitle that Michael Myers is back has more to do with marketing than the art of storytelling. Halloween 3 is a travesty to the series. 4 attempts a turn around. While it is better than Season Of The Witch, it’s a feeble effort.

The Return Of Michael Myers, which has the Evil killer going after Laurie Strode’s daughter; the child’s mother and father are apparently dead; comes across like a cheap made-for-TV knockoff. Even Michael’s mask is less menacing this time around.
