Halloween (1978)
It all started with a babysitter's night in Haddonfield, Illinois. John Carpenter's Halloween (1978) is a classic slasher horror film that set the bar for the genre. It also introduced us to Michael Myers, one of the most iconic figures in the world of horror. Laurie Strode, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, becomes mixed up with Michael's legacy. This classic is a must-see if you want to get the full effect of the series. It sets the stage with its atmosphere, music, and style.
Halloween II (1981)
The film picks up just minutes after the first one ends. Halloween II, directed by Rick Rosenthal, follows Laurie to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital as Michael continues his rampage. Dr. Sam Loomis, played by the unforgettable Donald Pleasence, is back and still determined to stop Michael. This sequel is a must-see for your marathon, as it picks up where the original left off and reveals a big twist in the franchise's story.
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
After a detour in part 3, Michael returns in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, directed by Dwight H. Little. Set ten years after Halloween II, Laurie is missing, and her daughter Jamie Lloyd becomes Michael's new target. Dr. Loomis is back, looking more damaged but also more determined. This film is the first in the "Jamie Lloyd" trilogy, and it's got all the hallmarks of a gritty, bloody, and delightfully retro 80s slasher flick.
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
Dominique Othenin-Girard directed this one, and it picks up where part 4 left off. Jamie is pretty messed up and has some kind of weird psychic connection with Michael. The film hints at a larger force behind Michael's immortality, setting up the Thorn Cult. It might not get the love it deserves, but it's a super important piece for anyone who's into the series' lore.
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers
Things get complex with Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995), directed by Joe Chappelle. The mythology of the Thorn Cult is made clear in two versions of the film: the theatrical cut and the producer's cut, which purists like better because it adds to the story. Paul Rudd plays grown-up Tommy Doyle, the kid Laurie used to babysit. It's a bit chaotic, but it's key to understanding the Thorn timeline.
Halloween H20: 20 Years Later
Skipping the Thorn storyline, Halloween H20 (1998) creates an alternate timeline that only acknowledges parts 1 and 2. Jamie Lee Curtis returns as a tougher, more traumatized Laurie Strode under a new identity. Steve Miner directed this film, which gives the franchise a fresh, late '90s makeover. If you like a simple viewing order without cults, this is your new part 3.
Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
It's not the most popular, but it's the last in the H20 timeline. Michael returns to the Myers house, which is now featured on a reality TV show. It's a bit over-the-top and totally from the early 2000s, and it even has a cameo from Busta Rhymes. If you're looking to wrap up the H20 storyline and enjoy a horror movie with a tech twist, this one's definitely worth a watch.
Halloween (2007)
Rob Zombie's 2007 reboot takes a more gritty, psychological approach to the original story. This version has more background on Michael's childhood and time at Smith's Grove Sanitarium, and it's darker and more brutal than Carpenter's classic. If you're into edgy slasher cinema, this is perfect for you.
Halloween II (2009)
Rob Zombie's sequel is a wild ride, and it'll have you on the edge of your seat. Laurie goes through a lot, and it's pretty intense. Michael is more brutal, and the film takes some creative liberties with the myth. It's the most polarizing entry in the series, but if you're binging the Rob Zombie duo, it's worth watching.
Halloween (2018)
Welcome to the Blumhouse Productions timeline. Forget about everything except the original from 1978. Laurie Strode, 40, lives as a recluse, hurt but ready. Michael gets away again, and Haddonfield is still in danger. David Gordon Green directed the film, which goes back to the franchise's roots and really dives into the characters, especially the relationship between Laurie, her daughter Karen Nelson (Judy Greer), and her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak).
Halloween Kills
After the 2018 film, Halloween Kills brings more chaos as Michael is on the loose and Haddonfield comes together. It's raw and violent, and it shows a community that's been traumatized by decades of terror. Fans of classic characters like Sheriff Brackett (Charles Cyphers) will enjoy this action-packed installment.
Halloween Ends
The grand finale of the Blumhouse trilogy, Halloween Ends is introspective and introduces new characters like Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell), altering the dynamics. It's a controversial conclusion, but it deals with themes of trauma, identity, and evil in a unique way. If you've been following along with Laurie and Michael, you won't want to miss this ending!
You Just Restart
No matter what timeline you pick: the original, the H20 route, the Rob Zombie retelling, or the Blumhouse saga, the Halloween franchise has enough material for multiple marathons. For the most devoted fans, there are also Halloween comics, novels, and video games to explore. One thing's for sure: Michael Myers is the ultimate Boogeyman horror icon, perfect for your annual holiday movie rotation. Put on your William Shatner mask, play the Halloween theme over and over, and let Haddonfield haunt your nightmares once more.
