Halloween 6 - Theatrical version - I kind of regret watching this version after doing the Producer's Cut as this is just so inferior. The lighting looks bad in some of the new scenes (especially when Jaime is in the barn), they completely dropped the Cult of Thorn plot halfway through the movie, Dr Wynn does not die on screen, the music sometimes sounds like it belongs in an extreme sports video, but worst of all, they cut out nearly every piece of character development for Loomis. Loomis is one of the main staples of this franchise and to cut him out so we can have more of a focus on the poorly acted Tommy and Kara is just ridiculous. Plus, things do not make sense. Why does Loomis no longer have a scar? Why is he in the hospital when Tommy is there? Why was the old lady holding a knife to the baby? Why did Michael just leave his mask on the floor? What was with the screaming sounds of Loomis at the end? None of if makes sense. I give this version of the movie a 3/10 stars.

Halloween H20 - After going into the realm of total ridiculousness, the series finally gets back on track by completely removing the last three movies from continuity. This is not only the smartest thing ever, but it also helps bring a new sense of smell to the franchise. Getting to see Laurie on screen again and learning what her life was like over the last twenty years is far more interesting than her dying off screen in a car accident. The movie itself is nicely done with some great moments of suspense, it keeps the death count down to a minimum, and harkens back to the night Michael originally attacked Laurie. The music is moody, but the movie's biggest faults are the lack of character development for anyone outside of Laurie and Michael's constant altering masks. Nevertheless, it is far better than the last several sequels and has a truly kick ass, conclusive ending. How do you come back from that? :-D I give this movie a 6.5/10 stars. It isn't as good as II or III, but it is better than the entire Cult of Thorn trilogy. It is just a shame that Pleasance passed on otherwise he would have been truly phenomenal in this one.
