Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers: The Halloween Retrospective

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers
Starring Donald Pleasance, Paul Rudd, Marianne Hagan
Directed by Joe Chappelle

Well, here we go again.  After giving myself a little break after suffering through the atrocity that was Halloween 5, I'm back at it to continue the path I set for myself.  Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers was released in 1995, and takes place six years after the events of Part 5.  Directing this time was done by Joe Chappelle, who later went on to direct in a number of TV shows, including Fringe and CSI NY and Miami.  Does Chappelle have what it takes to put the series back on track?

Halloween 5: The Halloween Retrospective.

Halloween 5

Hello again.  Last time we got Michael Myers offing quite a large number of people, yet somehow was unable to kill a ten-year old kid.  Since Halloween 4  did make a profit, logically another one had to be made.  With the number of flaws Part 4 had, and director Dominique Othenin-Girard running things, the series can only go up from here, can't it?  Well let's get right into Halloween 5, and see what direction it did take.

Halloween 4: The Halloween Retrospective

Halloween 4
Starring Donald Pleasance, Danielle Harris, Ellie Cornell
Directed by Dwight H. Little

Well, the people cried out for it, and they were heard.  Halloween 4 meant the triumphant return of Michael Myers.  And his return was well-timed too, as Halloween 4 was released ten years after the first Halloween.  It has been a while since I've seen the movie I'll be discussing today, so we'll see how it holds up in my eyes after all this time.
