Reviewing every Halloween movie in order of chronological release.

Halloween (1978)
I’m not sure that there’s a specific name for the recurring cultural phenomenon that I have in mind.

Halloween II (1981)
Despite its cliffhanger ending, Halloween doesn’t really suggest an obvious sequel story.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
I’ll start with the obvious.
The subtitle “The Return of Michael Myers” works on three levels.

And so the first Halloween timeline ends with a whimper. This is a bad, bad, bad movie.
