Halloweenthon Day 10 Halloween II is directed by Rob Zombie and stars Malcolm McDowell, Tyler Mane, Sheri Moon Zombie, Brad Dourif, Danielle Harris, and Scout Taylor-Compton. Plot Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton) struggles to come to terms with her brother Michael's (Tyler Mane) deadly return to Haddonfield, Illinois. Meanwhile, Michael prepares for another reunion with his sister. Review This is the director's cut by the way and I actually sat through the whole thing. I will say that I think this movie sucks, but I like it slightly more than it's predecessor. It's more creative and it tells an original story instead of rehashing the original Halloween II  like you think it might at the beginning. The beginning starts after the end of the first movie and they go to the hospital where Michael starts his killing spree and Laurie escapes and Wilford Brimley comes back with donuts! So Michael grabs an ax, which is labeled "fire extinguisher" and ...

Halloweenthon Day 9 Halloween is directed by Rob Zombie and stars Malcolm McDowell, Sheri Moon Zombie, Tyler Mane, Scout Taylor-Compton, Brad Dourif, Danielle Harris, and William Forsythe. Plot After being committed for 17 years, Michael Myers (Tyler Mane), now a grown man and still very dangerous, escapes from the mental institution and immediately returns to Haddonfield to find his baby sister, Laurie (Scout Taylor-Compton). Review I want to say that I'm not a huge Rob Zombie fan, this and Halloween II were the only films of his I've seen and I didn't like either of them, but I've listened to a couple of his CD's and I enjoyed them both. I know one of them was Hellbilly Deluxe , but I don't remember what the other one was I watched the unrated cut, and I didn't even watch all of it. I skipped the first 54 minutes or so because that first act is absolutely dreadful. I do remember enough to talk about that first act though. This my my third time ...

Halloweenthon Day 8 Halloween: Resurrection is directed by Rick Rosenthal and stars Busta Rhymes, Bianca Kajilich, Tyra Banks, Katee Sackhoff, Sean Thomas Patrick, Donna McCracken, Ryan Merriman, and Jamie Lee Curtis. Plot Three years after he last terrorized his sister, Michael Myers confronts her again, before traveling to Haddonfield to deal with the cast and crew of an Internet reality show which is being broadcast from his old home. Review Oh god I don't want to. I'll just say, this is the low point of the series. I hate this movie. It's an insult to the series, and an insult to Laurie Strode. It turns out that she killed the wrong person in H20 . She actually killed a paramedic, after she beat Michael at the school, a paramedic goes to check on him, but Michael crushes his larynx, making him unable to speak, takes the paramedic's clothes, and then leaves. They had to milk this series even more after H20 was a good enough ending. So since then she's...

Halloweenthon Day 7 Halloween H20: 20 Years Later is directed by Steve Miner and stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Adam Arkin, Michelle Williams, Josh Hartnett, LL Cool J, and Joeseph Gordon-Levitt. Plot 20 years after Michael Myers' massacre in Haddonfield. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) faked her own death and traveled to California and took on the name Keri Tate. Michael finds out of Laurie's new identity and travels to California to kill his sister. Review This is the last good Halloween movie we've ever gotten, hopefully that changes with the new movie. This movie makes the Thorn trilogy non-canon, which includes Halloween 4 , the only good film in that trilogy, but I guess that's a small price to pay. This is when they started bringing rappers into the Halloween series, they had LL Cool J in this and Busta Rhymes in Resurrection  and then they stopped, for good reason. LL Cool J was good in this though. This is where the series should've ended, but no,...

Halloweenthon Day 6 So are we done with the numbers now? Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers is directed by Joe Chappelle, and stars Donald Pleasence, Paul Rudd, Marianne Hagan, Mitch Ryan, Devin Gardner, J. C. Brandy, and George P. Wilbur. Plot Six years after Michael Myers (George P. Wilbur) last terrorized Haddonfield, he returns there in pursuit of his niece, Jamie Lloyd (J. C. Brandy), who has escaped with her newborn child, for which Michael and a mysterious cult have sinister plans. Review Ok, I watched the Producer's Cut of the movie so I'll be reviewing that. I saw the theatrical version a couple years back, and a few months later I watched the Producer's Cut, and this is the first time I've watched it since, so I'm not sure what's different except for the ending. This movie is worse than Halloween 5 , and I think that this film is when it the franchise started to get dumber. The whole ancient cult thing is stupid. For positives, I can...

Halloweenthon Day 5  Halloween 5: The Curse of Michael Myers is directed by Dominique Othenin-Girard, and stars Donald Pleasence, Danielle Harris, Ellie Cornell, Wendy Kaplan, Beau Starr, and Donald L. Shanks. Plot It's one year since Halloween 4 , and Michael Myers (Donald L. Shanks) survives being shot by the police. He continues his search for his niece, who is in a children's' hospital. Review If I were asked where the series started to go downhill, it would be this movie. This movie really had no reason to exist, as Halloween 4 would've been a good enough ending, but it made some money, so they rushed out a sequel the next year, and it shows. This movie isn't good, it's bad, but it's not a pile of garbage or anything (oh we'll be talking about garbage later in the marathon). So this movie begins the way Halloween II began, with them recapping the ending of the movie that came before it, but instead of no time passing, a year passes in...
