With HalloweenEnds out now, here's where it ranks alongside all the other films in the MichaelMyers franchise.
Out now in theaters and on Peacock is Halloween Ends, which aims to be the final conflict between Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode and Michael Myers. The pair first met in 1978, as Myers stalked his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois and met his match when Laurie evaded his torment.
One element of the series that was barely explored was that of Michael Myers' actual home, a location which he returned to multiple times throughout the years. A reality TV producer hopes to take advantage of this situation, casting coeds to explore the house on Halloween night for a broadcast going out across the internet. Unsurprisingly, Myers returns home and picks off the coeds one by one until the producer and one contestant are the only ones left.
A year after seemingly being defeated, Michael Myers returns to finish what he attempted to do in the last film, which is kill his niece. Jamie has lost the power of speech after being possessed by a similar evil to that which possesses Michael, causing her to kill her mom, resulting in being institutionalized. Michael does eventually track down his niece, resulting in a typical cat-and-mouse game seen in many of the other installments.
A young Michael Myers shows a macabre interest in torturing small animals, a sociopathic behavior that's heightened by his abusive family. The young boy ultimately snaps, killing a schoolmate, his father and his sister, forcing him into a mental institution. Over the course of 15 years, Dr. Loomis tries to get through to the boy, only for Michael to become more despondent.
20 years after the horrific events in which her brother killed her friends on Halloween night, Laurie Strode has faked her death, changed her name, and moved to another part of the country. Sadly, it'll take much more than that to stop her psychotic older brother Michael, who stalks her and her son through a private academy in hopes of finishing what he started two decades earlier.
prevnext 9) Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers After a Michael Myers-less installment, the filmmakers returned to the core concept that made the first two films a success, while also including some new elements. prevnext 8) Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers [Producer's Cut] Finally made publicly available to audiences in 2014, the Producer's Cut of the film makes for one of the most interesting sequels, despite the theatrical cut being a forgettable rehash of the familiar cat-and-mouse formula.
The theatrical cut of this film is pretty abysmal, ranking around Halloween 5 levels, but this Producer's Cut at least shows that the minds behind the series wanted to organically move on from Michael Myers, even if fans weren't ready for that. Sadly, we'll never really know how this ambitious concept could have changed the franchise permanently.
prevnext 6) Halloween II Zombie returned to the franchise two years after his remake, as his first Halloween film was a financial success and earned him another go at the character where he was allowed to take more liberties with the narrative. After believing to have killed Michael Myers, Laurie, Karen , and Allyson head to the hospital to recover from their intense encounter. Myers, however, escapes the inferno, managing to continue wreaking havoc on the town, though as word spreads about his return among the town, they embrace a mob mentality in hopes of taking matters into their own hands after the local police force seemingly proves their ineptitude.
Director David Gordon Green honored Carpenter's filmmaking style, with each tense scene lasting long enough to make the viewer feel uncomfortable. Carpenter's fingerprints can be felt throughout the film, not only because he crafted the film's score, but also through countless references to both the original narrative and its many memorable shots.
To recover from her injuries, Laurie goes to a hospital, where many other of the night's victims were also recovering. Unfortunately, Michael overhears on a police radio that Laurie is at the hospital, resulting in him heading there to attempt to kill Laurie once again. Laurie learns that Michael is her older brother, finally explaining why he was so motivated to kill her, revealing the methods of his madness.
This film completely diverts from the Michael Myers mythology and instead explores the nefarious motivations of a mask-making company. When a man dies in a hospital while clutching a Halloween mask, a doctor heads to the source of the novelty in hopes of getting answers about the mysterious circumstances. During his investigation, the doctor discovers a master plan to distribute the masks to children and, when a wearer hears a specific jingle on the TV, results in the death of anyone wearing it.
