Yes folks, it’s that time of year again. The season of the witch is upon us and if you’re a horror fan there’s a good chance at some point this month you’ll be sitting down with a bowl of candy corn and a six-pack of something delish (or at the very least cheap) and watching the granddaddy of modern slashers, John Carpenter’s Halloween. For many it’s THE go-to flick for the season, and rightfully so. It’s personally my favorite film (horror or otherwise) of all time, and I look forward to my annual viewing of it and a few of its sequels. Which brings me to the point of this. I want to know what your favorite entry in the franchise is, besides the original. Maybe you’re a first-night purist and love Halloween II. Perhaps you like to shake it up a bit and dig Season Of The Witch. Or maybe the Thorn curse bent middle entries tickle your fancy. Hell, maybe you’re a complete fucking moron and really like H20 or Resurrection. I’m not here to judge (much), I just want to know. So take a second and vote in the poll below and let us know which Haddonfield (or Santa Mira) horror is top of your list. I even threw in the Rob Zombie remakes for fun (or something).
VOTE!!! VOTE NOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!

I think this might be a losing battle. Besides part 3 I don’t think any of the sequels even comes close in quality to Nick Rosenthal’s Halloween 2
You might be right. 2 and 3 are certainly the strongest, but I’ll tell you, Part 5 has become a bit of a favorite of mine as well, even though people shit on it so much!
I went with 2 as well, but I have to say I’ve always had a kind of soft spot for 4…and NOT just because of Kathleen Kinmont prancing around in a “Cops do it by the book” tshirt & then proceeding to show off her big melons in a white, lacy bra. It’s a pretty solid lil flick. There’s an extended print of 5 available on CG that supposedly makes far more sense than what was released. I grabbed it, but have yet to sit down with it.
I used to rate 4 over 5 until I sat down with the blu’s and watched ’em back to back. 5 holds up for me better than 4. I’m gonna have to find that extended cut.
Part 2, hands down. It actually might even be better than the original, IMO *ducks*
You’re not the first person to say that. Honestly there are times I’d rather sit down with Part 2 over the original if I’m in the mood for something more aggressive.
Rob Zombie’s Halloween seems pretty solid considering that the endless sequels really watered story.
