Summary
TheHalloweensaga has gone through unlike retcons , reach way for different timeline , and while they all have their flaws , the original sequel timeline made a cluster of mistakes . In 1978 , John Carpenter precede the hearing to Michael Myers and Laurie Strode ( Jamie Lee Curtis ) inHalloween , a slasher movie that was central in the maturation of this subgenre in the 1980s . After Michael Myers killed all of Laurie ’s Quaker on Halloween Nox in 1978 , Laurie became the saga ’s main last Girl as well as Michael ’s target throughout most of the subsequence .
Carpenter’sHalloweenwas followed by five sequels ( though only one of them , Halloween III : time of year of the Witch , is n’t part of the Michael Myers saga ) before the timeline was retconned inHalloween H20 : 20 Years afterward . However , the original sequel timeline made various misunderstanding after the first picture show , which negatively impacted this timeline ’s bequest and the stories of the characters , peculiarly that of Michael Myers . Although the original sequel timeline oftheHalloweensagais quite love by sports fan , it ca n’t be abnegate that some originative choices were unnecessary .
The historic Halloween enfranchisement has produced 13 films across four and a one-half decades since the original classic in 1978 . Here ’s all of them , ranked .
11Laurie & Michael Myers Are Siblings
What made Michael Myers so terrifying in the firstHalloweenmovie was that hismotivation to go after Laurie Strodewasn’t let out . Michael was present as the embodiment of immorality , and not having a reason to aim Laurie meant that he could have gone after anyone , but Laurie catch his attention . alas , Halloween IIdecided to give Michael Myers a need and revealed that he and Laurie were siblings .
10Laurie’s Off-Screen Death
In the original subsequence timeline of theHalloweensaga , Laurie was Michael Myers ’ main target in just two pic : HalloweenandHalloween II . InHalloween 4 : The Return of Michael Myers , it was revealed that Laurie cash in one’s chips in a machine chance event at some decimal point between the issue ofHalloween IIandHalloween 4 . Laurie ’s off - CRT screen death mat up like an easy way out , and it probably would n’t have hurt the saga so much if she had lead away , been kill by Michael , or merely disappeared . However , Laurie ’s dying was n’t the oddment of Michael Myers ’ kill fling , as Laurie left a daughter , Jamie Lloyd ( Danielle Harris ) .
9Michael Myers Targeting Jamie Lloyd
With Laurie out of the picture , Michael focalize on Jamie Lloyd and she became his next victim and the franchise ’s raw Final Girl . What cook this decision so bad is that Jamie Lloyd was a child , as she was just eight years old when her murderous uncle started stalking her . Michael Myers is known for not killing children , but for some understanding ( by then unknown ) , he had no hassle trying to obliterate a child who , to make it even worse , was his niece .
8Michael Myers' Mask Got Progressively Worse
Not all mistakes in the original sequel timeline of theHalloweenfranchise were in term of narrative . The franchise has also made some confutable determination when it come to its visual style , preferences , and props , and one of its biggest mistakes ischanging Michael Myers ’ mask . Even though the budget for the sequel increased , the character of Michael ’s mask decreased , especially inHalloween 4andHalloween 5 : The Revenge of Michael Myers . The masquerade party blend back to its roots inHalloween 6 , but it still was quite nonsensical , so much so that some TV audience call back Michael Myers attend like a bobblehead plaything .
7Dr. Loomis' Obsession With Michael Myers
Michael Myers ’ psychiatrist Sam Loomis ( Donald Pleasence ) went from genuinely wanting to help catch Michael to becoming completely possessed with his patient . Somehow , Loomis always appear right on time to help either Laurie or Jamie Lloyd escape from Michael , but in reality , he only made everything worse . Among Loomis ’ worst moments was pressuring Jamie into telling him where Michael was when she was mute out of daze and later on using her as come-on to tempt Michael Myers into their trap ( which was never going to work ) . Still , this reading of Loomis is n’t as unsound or obsess as the one in Rob Zombie ’s remakes , but it ’s not a likable version , either .
6Jamie Lloyd & Michael Myers' Telepathic Bond
Before Michael Myers was ( supposedly ) killed inHalloween 4 , Jamie Lloyd bear upon his hand and he heighten . Later that Nox , Jamie ’s foster mother was preparing a bathtub for her when Jamie , dress as a goof ( like Michael when he drink down Judith ) , took a duad of scissors and assail her . Loomis went upstairs to see what had materialise and scream “ no ! ” repeatedly when he saw Jamie in costume , holding the blooming scissor hold . Loomis prove to shoot down her , but he was cease .
It was let out inHalloween 5that Jamie and Michael now shared a psychic bond paper , and the evil in him had influenced Jamie into assail her foster female parent . A telepathic shackle between them was completely unnecessary and made no horse sense , as it introduced a supernatural element to a film series that had stand out for not involving magic or supernatural poppycock .
5Jamie Lloyd’s Parents Did Nothing To Keep Her Safe
InHalloween 4andHalloween 5 , Jamie Lloyd did n’t really bet on her surrogate parents to keep her secure from Michael , and alternatively , it was her foster sister Rachel and her friend Tina who look after her . Knowing that Jamie Lloyd was related to Michael Myers and that she was experience a hard time dealing with the demise of her parent , her foster parents could have done more to help her feel safe , and instead , they were seldom seen . Even worse , they did n’t show up inHalloween 5when a seriously traumatized Jamie Lloyd was send to Haddonfield Children ’s Clinic , and only Rachel and Tina claver the untested daughter .
4Jamie Lloyd Being Impregnated With Michael’s Son
Halloween : The Curse of Michael Myersrevealed that Jamie Lloyd was abduct after the events ofHalloween 5and was kept captive for six years . During that clip , Jamie , now 15 years sometime , was artificially inseminated and bang up with Michael ’s boy – meaning that she was have her uncle ’s Logos . Although all this was explain throughthe Cult of Thorn(more on that in a bit ) , no ritual , cult , or fancy factor can make the fact that Jamie Lloyd was bang up against her will with her uncle ’s child any less disturbing .
3Michael Myers Targeting A Baby
Jamie Lloyd gave parentage to a boy at the beginning ofHalloween 6 , and she escaped with her boy in a stolen car . unluckily , she was caught by Michael and killed , but she managed to hide her baby so Michael would n’t kill him . Also through the Cult of Thorn , it ’s explained that Michael ’s novel target was his new-sprung boy , who was meant to be his terminal sacrifice . Halloween 6went on truly disturbing paths in an attempt to make Michael Myers scary again and answer some of the biggest mysteries about his evil nature , and these decision only anguish the movie and the entire sequel saga .
2The Cult of Thorn
Arguably , the most controversial addition to theHalloweenfranchise has been the Cult of Thorn . Halloween 6explained that Michael Myers ’ iniquity and need to vote down was the solution of the oath of Thorn , an ancient , dark force . The Cult of Thorn , then , was a group of druids ( most of them Haddonfield residents ) who in fiat to save themselves from the nausea and dying bring by Thorn , place a curse on a nipper from their kindred . Michael was chosen to bear the expletive , so he was own by Thorn , who drove him to stamp out his family on the night of Samhain . As Jamie ’s Logos was Michael ’s last congener live , the baby became his final target and forfeit . In the remainder , the baby is saved , but Michael ’s lot changes depending on the version of the movie .
