    The most convoluted and confusing popular horror franchise.
    Any excuse to re-invent it for a quick buck. I despised this
    Halloween
    follow-up. It lied to us and it didn't deliver what it promised. They didn't even give it a subtitle, just
    Halloween
    . Pathetic!
    Halloween Kills
    was brutal and nasty, but it was a darn sight better than this crud.

        Of course they had to, half of those movies don't even work with each other; and not to mention are awful. Missed opportunity? Why would you want Halloween 5, 6, or Busta Rhymes - which she does in - to exist?

          Yes, they really, REALLY did have to do that. Even if one set aside the fact that the sequels and nearly uniformly awful, the "franchise" has already been rebooted twice, and no one was pining for another sequel to that unfortunate chain of drek that ended nearly a quarter-century earlier. The original is still a classic, still acknowledged as such, still watched, still beloved, and is the firmest foundation on which to build anything further. The rest would just be an excess of badly-damaged baggage about which absolutely no one would care.

            Yes, they really, REALLY did have to do that.
            I was a bit annoyed that they did this at first, because I thought enough already of this confounded series. Michael Myers died at the end of II in 1981 and Laurie was his sister.
            I resigned myself to the fact that it might be worth a shot, yet the presentation of the film really didn't erase memory of all the Halloween films that came before it, even Rob Zombie's reboot. It played homage to some of them and this was a deceit to what was claimed. It was false promises.
            I will need to see this again, because I really didn't like it. I wanted a spooky, creepy and atmospheric
            Halloween
            like the original, but this wasn't to be found. I liked Kills and Ends better.

                She dies in Resurrection. And why would anyone want to count that awful movie?
                The weird faction who wants every movie to are strange. The Laurie movies ignore the Jamie movies too. Everyone knows that.

                  And the Laurie movies ignoring Jamie was wrong then too. You can’t just ignore canon no matter how hard you try

                    They can and they did. Rightfully so too. That storyline simply didn't work, especially with Laurie. It's actually a good thing we have separate timelines.

                      Why wouldn’t it work? Just say Laurie and Jamie were estranged.

                        For starters, Laurie died. Twice. Once off screen to introduce the Jamie storyline and again in Halloween Busta Rhymes.
                        The Thorn nonsense also doesn't fit with either Laurie timeline:
                        H1, 2, H20, Busta Rhymes
                        H1, DGG Trilogy
                        Michael is evil personified, not a victim of some cult magic.

                          Laurie said she faked her death in H20, so she was in hiding during the events of the Thorn trilogy.
