I absolutely loved Halloween 6. It was the only movie in the franchise that had the actually fall look of the colors on the trees. The atmosphere, the tone and the creepiness made it enjoyable. The dysfunctional dynamics in the Strode family, Tommy Doyle in the boarding house. I can watch this movie multiple times in the fall and never get tired of it. This was my third favorite in the franchise after H1 and H2. The ending where Loomis told Tommy and Kara "I have a little business to attend to" was very emotional. It was Donald Pleasance and his character Dr Loomis saying goodbye to his fans, friends and family. The look in his eyes said it all. He basically surrendered to Michael and killed his character. It was his way knowing he was about to pass away. Made me very sad when he passed away. To me, the franchise ended after H6. RIP Loomis/Donald Pleasance.

I think that's a really interesting point. I always liked the central part of the film, where Michael is stalking the neighborhood. But I could not abide the Producer's Cut ending, where they seem to be placing Loomis under the Thorn's influence. The change you suggest would undoubtedly make for an improvement. I've always heard that the reason we HAVE the Theatrical Cut in the first place is because test audiences reacted the same way I did.

Just one of numerous traits that set him apart from typical cinematic evildoers. The business with the candles is not really anything new...

I saw Halloween 5 in the Lynbrook theater on Long Island, NY and it was , to date … the most hysterical movie theater experience of my life. I started cutting jokes at the film after realizing , yeah this isn’t going to be a great outing for Michael Myers …. Crowd started laughing. And then other people started digging on the film while it was going. I mean the entire movie … and no one complained. No one. We were just teeing off on this movie. The laughs were better than what was on the screen. It was like sitting in a real life Mystery Science Theater 3000 Great times … I wish we had that on vid.

Totally agree with you on this trilogy. Curse is my favorite of the three, with the second being my least favorite. Love the overall fall vibes of all three! Halloween 4 and Curse are super rewatchable! With that said, #4, I never feel ANY connection between Jamie and Lori at all. Jamie feels completely unique to me, although I really enjoy her character. #5 just feels kinda empty and sad, especially back at the house at the end. I never enjoy those parts. Curse is so perfectly 90’s, and I love the 90’s internet blog research going on. Great breakdown!

Actually H20 was written as H7: The Return of Laurie Strode and should have taken place around 3 years after H6 (Pcut likely because Loomis was killed in the theatrical cut but died of old age in H20's canon). That's why there are so many "plotholes" that only make sense with 4-6 in canon, plus there are tons of hints towards those 3 movies. There was even a scene when Laurie mourns Jamie's death after hearing about it from a student.

OK… hear me out. “Halloween 5” probably has the best chase sequence in the franchise (the laundry shoot scenario is terrifying, especially because it involves a child!) and the death of Tina’s boyfriend Mike by garden claw is one of Michael Myers’ most iconic and distinct kills. It’s not “Halloween: Resurrection” bad (even though mute traumatized kids with ESP, lazy death cults and nothingburger side characters do bring this movie down a bit.).

The Revenge Of Michael Myers' first cardinal sin was ret-conning the ending of Return Of Michael Myers. I wouldn't mind a legacy sequel called The Return Of Jamie Lloyd. Imagine her being a lifelong patient at Smith's Grove's Sanitarium, voluntarily. She's terrified to return to society, because she doesn't trust herself, but she also fears that Uncle Shape will come back for her.

She was never supposed to be the main villain though The purpose of the twist was to establish that she COULD grow up to bear Michael’s curse. A symptom of this condition is, of course, the telepathybond she and Michael share. This builds up beautifully to the scene in the Meyers house where she taps into HIS lost humanity and he removes his mask Of course 6 fucks everything up snubbing Harris her role and throwing Jamie away like garbage

Another thing about Curse is while Jamie's been captive of this cult for six years, no one thought to at least search for her all that time? With Jamie gone and Michael's whereabouts at the very least unknown Loomis just retires? A man who doggedly would dedicate himself to stopping Michael just gave up knowing he was still out there? I just always thought that was strange.

I think the scene is only shown in the Pcut. But we get a flashback to the end of Halloween 5, when we see Jamie getting taken by the Cult and when they drive away, there is a giant explosion that blows up the police department. That's why everyone believes that Michael and Jamie died in that explosion (there is likely no evidence of the cult taken Michael and Jamie).

Finaly someone who is not so against the Thorn explanation for Michael's evil. It never bothers me. Of course, it is better to be a mistery, but if you're going to continue, that's a way to justify and extend the mitology. It's funny that was a trend in the early 90's with the big 3. Freddy had his powers from the Dream Sperm Demons, Jason from the Necronomicon and Myers from the Thorn. I think curse has the most decent explanation from the three. It's not so overly fantastical and is attached to the halloween holiday. I prefer the Thorn than the "Michael was a product of the enviroment serial killer trope" from the Zombie Remake.

Curse never got the sequel it deserved. Paul's Tommy Doyle was like a Loomis of his own. In addition to the orange fall tones that make a good impact on the film including in H4, it also has a blue hue in most of its horror scenes.

Would have loved to get a sequel to H6 (Pcut) with Paul's Tommy taking over for Donald's Loomis (which was Daniel's plan when writing H6 and the first draft for h7).

Halloween 4 is my favorite film ever. I fell in love with it as a kid in the 80's and it's amazing. The opening credits are the best “Halloween” feeling moment in the entire franchise and the kills are also some of the best, especially the thumb kill to the EMT. That ending with Jamie turning evil is also epic and is really the thing that sets this movie apart from all of the others. Halloween 5 is not good except for 3 scenes which are the vent scene, the ending at the police station, and by far the best scene is when Dr. Loomis uses Jamie as bait to lure Michael into the chain trap. Halloween 6 has one of the best masks and a great electrocution kill but that's it.

Halloween 4 is ONLY considered part of the "trilogy" cause of jamie loyd....thats it. Technically its only 5 and 6 with that story arch. The original H2, could be included for diehard fans with the "samhain" reffrence. And if H2 is included, you have to include H3.....that played out alot of the "mystical" aspect of the holiday meaning as well as a "sort of" explination

I love Halloween 4 and 5, they are my favorite of the Halloween sequels. It’s fun the way they introduced their own story and cast of characters. It’s a shame that part 6 is such a cluster of a film. The “thorn” storyline deserved a better ending.

The overall problem with the "Thorne Trilogy" is that the films were rushed and there wasn't a single director with a vision for all three of the movies. There were big ideas that could've been used to explain Michael and his origins but it was very erratic and poorly executed. Imagine each film as bits of potential good ideas in the form of jigsaw puzzle pieces that don't fit together. That's the Thorne Trilogy. Each film has elements of continuity with the Halloween franchise but they don't really connect and you can tell the ideas came from separate writers who only wanted to finish the film they were on. So nothing actually fits together in a coherent or logical way and most of the characters are inconsistent too. I still watch the trilogy and enjoy each film for what it is, which is something you have to do with any horror franchise of films. Especially the ones with many sequels, you gotta pick the things you like about it and enjoy those things. Otherwise, the annoyances ruin the films for you.

I gotta say I’m not the biggest fan of this trilogy but I will say that part 4 is damn near a perfect stand alone Halloween movie. I just wish the mask was greater, like the one used in Halloween/halloween 2. The funny thing is the poster for Halloween 4 has his older mask from the first two movies lol

I respectfully wish people would stop referring to this as a triology as it involves two other movies. It is pentalogy (which isn’t as fun to say but more appropriate). Also I disagree on the mask in H4. The mask they portrayed on the cover of the movie would’ve been bad a$$, but the one we got… not so much. Bandaged up Michael was cool, but this is “the return of Michael Myers” so I think we need the iconic mask. I think these movies deserve a remake (just not from Blumhouse 😉).
