Reaction, Breakdown, Commentary, Analysis, & Franchise Review! Roxy Striar & Tara Erickson revisit the legacy of Michael Myers as they rank all 13 Halloween movies — from John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978) to Halloween Ends (2022). Every film in the saga gets discussed: Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988), Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989), Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995), Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998), Halloween Resurrection (2002), Rob Zombie’s Halloween (2007), Halloween II (2009), Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills (2021), and Halloween Ends (2022). We talk Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), Michael Myers (Nick Castle, James Jude Courtney, Tyler Mane), Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence, Malcolm McDowell), Karen (Judy Greer), Allyson (Andi Matichak), and Will Patton’s Hawkins — as well as directors John Carpenter, Rick Rosenthal, Dwight H. Little, Dominique Othenin-Girard, Joe Chappelle, Steve Miner, Rick Rosenthal, Rob Zombie, and David Gordon Green. From “Evil Dies Tonight” to “You Can’t Kill the Boogeyman,” we break down iconic kills, legendary quotes, and timeline confusion across every sequel, reboot, and retcon. This reaction and ranking dives into which movies truly define the Halloween mythos, which sequels went off the rails, and how the franchise evolved from slasher terror to trauma study. Perfect for fans searching Halloween movies ranked, Halloween explained, timeline order, or Michael Myers analysis.
