"Halloween 8 film box set"

Ah yes, this is what I want. Cheap horror crap. Exactly what I love.

All the Halloween's including the recently released Ressurection (which I'm told is naff).

Great, although I could easily live without 3... what a waste of space.

Anyway with Shaun of the Dead, Star Wars and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind it looks like a nice DVD month or so.

No...

I thought Halloween 3 was pretty good. Okay, so it wasn't part of the series, (it had nothing to do with Michael Myers) but the premise is excellent. Silver Shamrock.

Was H20 a self-parody or something?

Yeah, first time I saw it I thought it was a steaming pile.

Watch it a few times though and it begins to make sense and is actually pretty good.

I remeber seeing Halloween 6 and it being crap, though I've read that there is a far superior, and hard to track down producers cut that's supposedly far better.

How dare you say the Halloween series is chepy crappy horror. They're all excellent....okay so 3,5 and 8 are a load of crap but the rest are excellent in their own little ways.

Halloween is an absoloute classic.
Halloween 2 is very simliar to the first film just with less tension but a ton of gore.
Halloween 3's a pile of unrivalled toss.
Halloween 4's excellent, not as good as the first 2 but still very watchable.
Halloween 5's a total t*rd.
Halloween 6 is good if you can make sense of it.
Halloween 7 I really enjoyed, doesn't have the feeling of the original but still a good stab at bringing the series up to date.
Halloween 8 starts off awful but does get a bit better, still pretty crappy though.

Michael Myers is the daddy of the slasher/psycho killer genre, he's like a god or something. Do get the feeling though that the series should come to a halt now that they've killed off Jamie Lee Curtis, unless they can get a decent director on board.

I'd like to see Jason VS Michael though, that'd be a pretty intresting little battle...not sure how they'd come up with a plausible storyline though.
