1, 2, and 4 were good, but the rest sucked! Badly!

[The_Return]

Thusfar, Ive only had the good foryune of seeing the first 2. Both were GREAT, although the 1st was probably better. They suffered from a "Dr. Phibes" condition though: Great ending, spoiled by a sequel, with a decent ending of it's own to make up for it.

Halloween
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Halloween 2
Halloween: H20 (7)
Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch = missing the point

Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
Halloween: Resurrection (8)
= pure shit

[Haunted]

I only really like the first and second. I think that Season of the Witch and the last one with Coolio or who-the fuck-ever were the worst.

'Halloween'. Period. Anything else was only trying to cash in on the susccess and is therefore ignored by me (even though I've seen most of them). I often cite the second for not only trying to re-write the terrific ending of the first, but cheapening it's overall effect). Leave the classics alone !

Halloween halloween2 halloween6 halloween resurrection halloween H20 halloween 4 halloween5 halloween 3 Loved 1 & 2 the rest were good except for 3 waste of time on 1 of the best series of horror history!

One pretty common trend I'm noticing here is that we're all pretty much in agreement that the series started off better than where it's at right now. Excluding #3, everyone pretty much has it going in numeric order with the exception of a movie here or a movie there. Safe to say Halloween started off good and has been going consistently downhill ever since? (Although I liked H2O.)

[MisterSadistro]

Sequels might keep bringing in more money, but they never seem to bring in any quality or new ideas.
To all of the other filmmakers here, past present and future, do yourself and your fans a favor. If you come up with a gem of a horror movie that everyone loves because it scared the hell out of them, don't tarnish it's reputation with sequels !

Yo Ck...

I know you work on films pretty regularly. Is that your full time job? Also, what do you do? Camera? Direct? Write?

[MisterSadistro]

It's more than a job, it's an adventure ! ok. I heard that somewhere LOL
For the last 4 days I'm doing Foley (sound fx) work. When I'm satisfied with that (first 2 1/2 days I ended up hating), I'll finally edit the scene from 3+ hours of footage (1 of actual actors, 2 secondary). This is for a film of mine currently. No, I don't "star" in it since a lot of indie horror films I see have a tendency to be vehicles for the "look at me crowd !".
My credits (from most to least) are composer, editor, sound, boom operator, actor, director, writer, PA, gaffer, makeup fx, driver and crane operator (yes, a real crane on a real set for some HBO movie, not some throw together one in someone's backyard epic LOL). The last movie I worked on set for earned me the nickname '10-in-1 Chris, the Swiss Army knife of filmmaking' since I'm constantly doing something on set (and apparently can get it done LOL). Learn as much as you can on other people's sets since it can only help your productions later.
I get hired mostly for music and sound by other companies since it's a long, thankless task. After a few false starts over the last 2 years, I've finally gotten a solid team of local cast and crew assembled around me that have the same interests in making quality horror films that put the scares first and not just the quick "blood and boobs" route that overpopulate the genre. We have another short after the current one, plus 2 features already planned out through the summer. I'll see what happens from there.

..I have a feeling that people who say that sequels suck hasnt watch them all.....some are saying: "the first two was ok but the rest sucked" ....thats just not believable (...every time !) ...so watch them first :D

[MisterSadistro]

No one had to watch all the 'Weekend At Bernie's' sequels to correctly guess they sucked, so why sit through 90 minutes of crap to finally be able to say "Yep. It was crap alright" ? :D I've seen plenty of sequels and stand by my choice of 'Toy Story 2' and 'Godfather 2' being only worthy of the originals. Oh and 'The Road Warrior' LOL
