 Every Halloween Movie In Chronological Order

Halloween is one of the most well-known horror franchises of all time. It all started with John Carpenter's iconic 1978 film Halloween, which helped popularize the slasher genre and introduced us to the frightening Michael Myers. The series may be coming to an end with the announced sequels, Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends.

Fans of the show will be aware that it has one of the most perplexing timelines in the industry. It can be tricky to keep track of all of the retcons and do-overs. To assist, we've created a viewer's guide that will walk them through the films in the Halloween franchise in the order in which they were released.

Halloween (1978)

This first film is still regarded as a horror classic. The franchise began with the tiny slasher film Halloween, which followed Michael Myers, an escaped psychiatric patient who returns to his hometown of Haddonfield on Halloween night and goes on a killing spree.

This is the only film in the franchise directed by John Carpenter, and it demonstrates why he is a master of suspense and terror. This is also the film in which Jamie Lee Curtis made her debut as Laurie Strode, the series' other star.

Halloween II (1981)

This is the first, but not the last, sequel to the original. Halloween II picks up only seconds after the previous film ended and follows Michael Myers throughout the rest of Halloween night as he tracks down Laurie Strode, three years after Carpenter's film.

Laurie is taken to Haddonfield Hospital after Michael's attack, and the majority of the film takes place there. Laurie and Michael are only introduced as brother and sister for the first time in this episode.

Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (1982)

For many fans, the franchise's third installment is one of the most bizarre and perplexing. Despite the fact that it is a sequel to the previous two films, Halloween III: Season of the Witch is the only one in the franchise without Michael Myers. Instead, this is a completely unrelated story about a nefarious toy company that creates lethal Halloween masks.

The original plan for the Halloween series was for it to be an anthology series with each sequel featuring a different Halloween-themed story. Michael Myers, on the other hand, proved to be so famous that he was offered a sequel. Following the failure of this ambitious sequel, the series returned to Michael.

Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers (1988)

Michael Myers made a triumphant return on Halloween 4, which took place ten years after the events of Halloween II. Michael is ready to resume his killing spree, despite the lack of explanation as to how he survived what appeared to be certain death.

For the third time, Donald Pleasence reprises his role as Dr. Loomis, but this is the first Michael Myers film without Laurie Strode. Laurie was killed in a car accident years ago, and Michael is now on the lookout for her daughter Jamie.

Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers (1989)

For many critics, Halloween 5 marked the start of the series' downward spiral. Following Halloween 4's interesting ending, which hinted at the birth of a new killer, the sequel chose to ignore that development and instead focus on a confused and boring Michael Myers story.

This sequel, which takes place one year after the events of the fourth film, includes an unnecessary origin story for Michael that includes supernatural elements. It was shot with an incomplete script due to the hurried production, and it shows.

Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers (1995)

The sixth film in the franchise is the one that almost brought the entire franchise to a halt. The Curse of Michael Myers makes the mistake of continuing the ridiculous cult storyline from the previous film, with the titular killer hunting down the son of his niece Jamie.

Dr. Loomis' final appearance in the series, as well as actor Donald Pleasence's final role before his death, is in this film. It's also one of Paul Rudd's first acting roles, as a young adult version of one of the children Laurie babysat in the first film. Neither of these actors, however, can save this disaster of a film.

Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers Producers Cut (2014)

While the Producer's Cut of the film was released in 2014 after years of fan requests and unofficial re-cuts to try and salvage the original storyline, we'll include it after the original release of The Curse of Michael Myers to keep the viewing order for viewers who want to see the changed take.

The Producer's Cut saw the Cult of Thorn evolved further and even had a darker future in mind for Dr. Loomis when he became the new leader of the Cult, though his death changed his fate in the franchise. The original version of the film still introduced the Cult of Thorn and attempted to link Michael Myers' reign of terror to an ancient Druidic curse.

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)

Halloween H20 is a return-to-basics take on the series that saw Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode triumphantly return 20 years after the original film. This is also the series' first retcon, as this film is a direct sequel to Halloween II, ignoring all of the craziness that followed.

When Michael Myers returns for his vengeance in the film, Laurie is living a new life under a new name. Michelle Williams and Josh Hartnett star in the film, which spends a lot of time with the new cast of young teen characters. As a result, the series was able to maintain its momentum for a little longer.

Halloween: Resurrection (2002)

While Halloween H20 helped to resurrect the series, Halloween: Resurrection tossed everything out the window. Despite the fact that Jamie Lee Curtis returns for the sequel, she is killed off in the first scene.

Instead, the film centers on a ludicrous reality show in which contestants compete to spend the night in Michael Myers' childhood home. This is another low point in the series, with dated webcam culture, boring characters, and Busta Rhymes doing martial arts.

Halloween (2007)

With his 2007 reboot Halloween, horror director and musician Rob Zombie added his own distinctive style to the franchise, creating a new timeline that explored the history and development of young Michael Myers before unleashing him on Haddonfield.

The film is best known for casting Malcolm McDowell as Dr. Loomis, though his interpretation differed significantly from Donald Pleasance's iconic character. The plot of Zombie's Halloween was similar to that of the original film, and it felt like a more violent rehash of a classic, which didn't sit well with some fans.

Halloween II (2009)

While it initially appeared to follow the same story as the first sequel from 1981, it shocked viewers with a twist before moving into uncharted territory in 2009. Rob Zombie returned for 2009's Halloween II, which was a sequel set in the same timeline as his reboot film, and while it initially seemed to follow the same story as the first sequel from 1981, it shocked viewers with a twist before moving into uncharted territory.

H2 introduced supernatural elements to Michael Myers that dealt with his mother's relationship, furthering the familial connection between Myers and Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton) while also totally breaking down the character due to the trauma she had suffered. The original reboot timeline came to an end at this point, with the 2018 reboot starting from the beginning.

Halloween (2018)

Following the disappointment of Halloween: Resurrection and the divisive Rob Zombie remake series, the franchise returned to its roots for what many consider to be its best sequel to date. This film also establishes a new timeline for the series, as it is a direct sequel to the first film, disregarding everything that came after and even reversing Laurie and Michael's relationship.

Laurie lives a life dedicated entirely to preparing for Michael's eventual return, set 40 years later. She was right to be prepared, as it turned out. The bloody and violent follow-up was a worthy sequel that breathed new life into the franchise.

Halloween Kills & Halloween Ends

Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, two sequels to David Gordon Green and Danny McBride's reboot of the franchise, were announced soon after the success and positive reception of 2018's Halloween, with the titles hinting at a new ending to the franchise.

Laurie Strode and her family are forced to organize the town of Haddonfield against the escaped Michael Myers in Halloween Hills, which takes place immediately after the events of the previous film. In October 2021 and October 2022, respectively, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends will be released.
