https://letterboxd.com/vincentprice/list/halloween-ranked/ Just like my Friday the 13th rankings (https://letterboxd.com/vincentprice/list/friday-the-13th-ranked/), it is scientifically accurate after hours and hours of intense research.

Is Halloween 6 the only movie Paul Rudd gives a bad performance in?

Halloween 2 is terrible. Its a bad Friday the 13th film that undercuts the whole "horror is random" message of the first.

Neo Rasa posted:HALLOWEEN FILMS: Halloween rankings on the only ones I have a real opinion about : Top 4 are the original two Halloweens, Halloween 3, and Halloween 2018. Ranking doesn't matter, they're just my favs and some days I might feel like 2018's the best and other days it's the original, or the second, or the third All of them and everything else especially H20 and Resurrection above both Rob Zombie "efforts", with enough distance I might even be able to also slot just generic films with the word Halloween in the title (like Tales of Halloween that lovely anthology of course Neil Marshall was involved in) and films taking place during the holiday season (like the Peanuts Great Pumpkin short) above those two "films"

Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 is arguably the worst movie I have ever seen in a theater second only to the Spirit Halloween 2 is an ethical and aesthetic abomination

I agree with KvIt! more than I disagree. The original stands alone, and I think Zombie's Halloween II is better than his first, but other than that yea they're better than any of the other Halloween films. I need to see the new one another time or two before I feel comfortable ranking it though.

I can never take Halloween 2 (rob zombie) seriously when we are told Laurie became so traumatized she turned into a fan of KISS and other bands Rob Zombie liked as a teenager Like, A. its absurd that someone is so traumatized they become a rock chick and B. that they don't even listen to modern music but only music exclusive to the tastes of the director

Hollismason posted:Halloween 3 should not really be on the list of other Halloween films imo. Season of the Witch movies, ranked: 3. Season of the Witch (2011) 2. Season of the Witch (1973) 1. Season of the Witch (1982) Honestly it's a toss up between 2 and 3. 2011 is forgettable, but it does have Ron Perlman and Nick Cage in it, though I seem to recall that they were both phoning it in. I disliked 1973 but I like Romero overall and it just seems like the movie's reach may have exceeded it's grasp in this instance. It also had some weird production and release issues (Hungry Wives lol).

Kvlt! posted:Rob Zombie's Halloween > Rob Zombie's Halloween II > all the other Halloweens Zombie's first Halloween is good stuff.  But Halloween II shoots up a lot for me because of how (in the director's cut at least) it goes straight into supernatural kind of territory where there's no way real world way to reconcile how it plays out, but it sticks the landing to me and doesn't destroy my suspension of disbelief. In a way it's sort of a low key 70s witchcraft movie and a slasher movie happening at the same time today and I appreciate that. I felt like this was even more true once Lords of Salem happened and also the movie got the time period of the holiday down, parts of the movie reminded me a lot of my own late teenage/early 20s years when I was living in a similar suburban sorta town.I will admit this borders on sacrilege, since it's showing a preference for Michael being something "more" than just a dude randomly killing people. And I do have to agree with folks that while I didn't necessarily mind Tyler Man being Michael and being an insanely huge hulking dude, his "costume" goes way too far into pro wrestler gimmick territory. Mel Mudkiper posted:Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 is arguably the worst movie I have ever seen in a theater second only to the Spirit Is this about both Halloween 2's or just Zombie's? I'm impressed at how extremely polarizing both are, even more than Halloween III. HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I would say Halloween 2018 is the second best Halloween II. Also kinda bold putting Resurrection above 6. Whatever is going on with 6 is better than Myers getting hosed up with salt and pepper. 6 is one of those flicks that even in its producer's cut form, to me it's just fundamentally bad. And Resurrection is bad too but at least once it gets going it's still about Michael being a lone person rolling around his family home killing folks indiscriminately and not the whole cult film. I rank 5 lower because it' seven worse overall and also introduced that whole thing (though IIRC they didn't even have an explanation when the movie was made and just wanted something surprising to happen at the end!). Resurrection is inadvertently (and at times purposely) a laughable hoot too which helps. Plus it's notable that Resurrection beats Zombie Halloween II to the punch for hearing Michael's voice for the first time.  Honestly, I like Halloween movies very much in general so while I did rank these most of them are a lot closer to each other to me than a rank would imply, maybe tiers would be better: A Tier: Halloween (1978) Halloween (2018) Halloween II (1981) Halloween III: Season of the Witch Halloween II (2009) B Tier: Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Meyers Halloween (2007) C Tier: Halloween: H2O LMAO Tier: Halloween Resurrection Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Meyers Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Apr 15, 2019 |

Mel Mudkiper posted:just Rob Zombies Original 2 does have an incredible nod to continuity with that kid they mistakenly think is Michael that gets COMPLETELY FUCKIN' OBLITERATED being the same person Laurie's friends tried to set her up with for the homecoming dance in the first movie. https://thetastebasket.com/2015/10/25/remembering-ben-tramer-1961-1978-2/ They inadvertently made a metaphor for how surviving her ordeal with Michael in the first film is now her life and any chance at a "normal" socially acceptable life is now permanently gone even if Michael is incinerated, like Ben Tramer, her potential link to that, who was also incinerated, while dressed like Michael.

I never knew until last year they added a scene in the original Halloween for TV where he carves "sister" on a wall in the asylum before escaping and that they added it in to set up Halloween 2 I always thought it was in the original version which is why I never got why people said Laurie being her sister is only in the sequel

Ironically Halloween is probably my favorite Rob Zombie film even though Halloween 2 is my absolute least favorite The Michael as a child scenes are great and get maligned too often by nerd critics. I thought the idea of having the new Michael created by the same social malaise that made the original film a time capsule was a brilliant touch.

Halloween 1978 Halloween III: Season of the Witch Rob Zombie's Halloween II Halloween 2018 Halloween II Rob Zombie's Halloween Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Meyers Halloween H20 Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Meyers Halloween: Resurrection Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Meyers I need to give 2018 a rewatch because I remember liking it on the whole but also being put off by how on-the-nose many of the callbacks to 1978 were.

Mel Mudkiper posted:The Michael as a child scenes are great and get maligned too often by nerd critics. I thought the idea of having the new Michael created by the same social malaise that made the original film a time capsule was a brilliant touch. Same here. All of that was really strong. The weakest part of the movie to me was was how fast it shifted gears to him as an adult and then to him in the traditional style mask outfit. I mean the individual scenes were fine but you could really feel how indifferent Zombie was to remaking the original too closely and how much of that was out of obligation. Mel Mudkiper posted:I never knew until last year they added a scene in the original Halloween for TV where he carves "sister" on a wall in the asylum before escaping and that they added it in to set up Halloween 2 I believe the 25th anniversary VHS/DVD has this in the movie in addition to the part where you see Michael's face dead on in the asylum when Loomis meets with him for the last time before his escape. So I should double check the tape tonight but it's very possible you've also seen official releases with this which makes that very understandable.

All of the stuff related to trauma in Halloween 2 works really well for me and then combined with the ferocity of Zombie's Michael it makes for a much more emotional movie than any of the others. It has an emotional intensity that none of the others really even attempt.

It has an emotional intensity that none of the others really even attempt. See, I am completely opposite All the trauma comes off as completely false and inauthentic. No one in the films acts like a real person who has gone through a traumatic event and instead just has a completely different character from the first film. Like, Dr. Loomis being superficial in the sequel could have been done as him basically being mentally and spiritually broken by his failure to reform Michael but instead he's just a selfish gloryhound this time for absolutely no reason.

Mel Mudkiper posted:Ironically Halloween is probably my favorite Rob Zombie film even though Halloween 2 is my absolute least favorite The showing Michael's life as a child is one of the few grumbles I had with the Rob Zombie version because I liked the idea that evil can just happen from the original and in the RZ version it felt like they were ticking off the list of indicators of a serial killer. It's one of the points I bring up with why the RZ films really should be looked at as thier own franchise rather than part of the main franchise.
