Halloween Retrospective

During October 2022, I will be watching and reviewing the entire Halloween series, culminating in the release of Halloween Ends. I’ve never seen any of the Halloween movies, so this will be a learning experience!

Below, I’ve organized the films by release date, by my ranking (to be updated as I watch and review), and by narrative timeline.
