 I can say that I was able to watch Zombie's take on Michael Myers without comparing it to the 1978 original...well, almost.

First time I got results as low as yours when I ask the question about not comparing the two films (remember, I do belong to the official Halloween message board under the name 1978 Collector)

One of the installments in the "Halloween" movie series gets generally criticized as being a poor film but, like other so called "poor" films, I like it a lot. I'm referring to Halloween III: Season Of The Witch(1982). I remember seeing this film in the theater while I was in college. I have this film on R1 DVD and enjoy watching it from time to time. Admittedly, no Michael Myers is a bummer and Tom Atkins is not the greatest actor in the world but the film has some really nasty scenes and a truly despicable bad guy in "Cochran". Here's one of my favorite scenes from this film: |

I like H3 a lot. It was original, and it was the last Carpenter involved film. And with Tommy Lee Wallace at helm, no doubt Carpenter influenced the film a little more than the score.

It's sad you know, I heard there are some extended scenes of some of the deaths in H3. But no one knows where they are... Maybe on the UK or Spain disc... |

Halloween 2 was good. In fact, it was verry close to beating the original. If only John and Howard did not go with a more synth-powered score and kept with the piano. Keep the Synths to Carp's 80's flicks... |

I actualy use to like it alot. Mostly because it was unofficialy my first Halloween film I had seen (I only saw the shocking ending though). But once I saw more of the series and I had more brains on the subject of Myers, H20's inperfections stood out to me and well, I do not like it as much as I used to. Tied with number six as next to the last faveorite. |

Well, I heard off of OHMB that Rob isn't coming back. But I like it that they kept the mask. I just hope Halloween 2 is going to be better than this new horror remake: My Bloody Valentine 3D

Not sure what to say about this series. It went downhill after Pt. 4 for me but, Pt. 5 while, sloppily directed and written is still entertaining. As for the remake i say it was much better than anything after Pt. 4 for sure!

Agreed. I like Rob Zombie's films like House Of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects but I didn't think I'd like his take on the "Halloween" franchise. I wouldn't call his remake of Halloween a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination but I thought it was fairly solid. |
