Halloween; How should I Watch The ‘Halloween’ Movies?
(CTN News) _ In 1978, the horror classic Halloween was released for the first time, introducing the world to one of cinema’s most frightening boogeymen, the un-killable Michael Myers.
It may be helpful to catch up on the story so far as the franchise prepares to release its 13th installment, “Ends.”
In the case of the “Halloween” franchise, however, that is not as straightforward as you might expect.
- “Halloween” (1978)
- “Halloween II” (1981)
- “ III: Season of the Witch” (1982)
- “4: The Return of Michael Myers” (1988)
- “5: The Revenge of Michael Myers” (1989)
- “: The Curse of Michael Myers” (1995)
- “H20: 20 Years Later” (1998)

- “Halloween” (2007)
- “II” (2009)
- “Halloween(2018)
- “ Kills” (2021)
