Full disclosure. I’ve never seen or had any interest in seeing:

1981 – “Halloween II”

1982 – “Halloween III: Season of the Witch”

1988 – “Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers”

1989 – “Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers”

1995 – “Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers”

1998 – “Halloween H20: 20 Years Later”

2002 – “Halloween: Resurrection”

2007 – “Halloween”

2009 – “Halloween II”

They ALL looked stupid and since the original’s creator didn’t have anything to do with them (though he was credited as co-writer on the first sequel) it was easy to give them a pass. This film however was announced to be a direct sequel to the 1978 original with the return of Curtis  (as star) & Carpenter (as a consultant) so I decided to see it.

I wish I hadn’t.
