I think a very strong case can be made that Halloween 5 is the very BEST of the sequels(along with 2, anyway). In fact, as I've mentioned before, if you think a sequel should adhere to the basic premise and elements of the original, Halloween 5 isn't just one of the best....it's one of the ONLY legitimate Halloween sequels...By that standard, 1, 2, 4, and 5 are the series....everything else was just them trying to fix something that was never broken..
