  Review by Patrick Willems ★★ 8

  Some of this movie is very bad, but also there's a part where Michael stabs a guy and lifts him up and impales him on some electrical stuff so he gets zapped and then his head explodes

  Producer's Cut

  Look, no one is stopping you from calling The Curse of Michael Myers nonsensical or ludicrous, even by Slasher standards, but - especially in the famed HD master of the Producer's Cut (which to me is still one of the great joys of video distribution this decade) - you can't deny this sixth entry in the Halloween franchise just walks off with atmosphere. After the glum Euro freak-out of Halloween 5, The Curse of Michael Myers captures a brisk Autumn chill and a disconcerting, quiet evil that is unique for the series. The sparse soundtrack, the vintage holiday decorations, the back-to-basics stalking and slashing: it could almost be labeled as lazy if it wasn't so damn evocative.…

  Review by Ian West ★★★★ 16

  I love you guys but I’m sorry because this movie rules. I don’t really care about doofy H20 and it’s kevin williamson vibes at this point in my life so this is my fav 90’s Myers jam—plus I saw this theatrically but it’s not just nostalgia speaking... I really dig both cuts... but as so many have stated, the producers cut is where it’s at. The extra Loomis stuff and addition of the more straightforward score in said cut is icing on the cake for me.... along with Tommy’s sisters of mercy poster and Divine magnet so yeah... I love this movie and, if I had my choice, as much as I love Scream I’d rather watch movies like this or Hellraiser: Bloodline.

  Give me ALL of the Druid cult shit.

  Paul Rudd appeared in two movies in 1995 that involved incest. That has to be a coincidence right?

  *Was a 78, now an 88*

  "The original film is a claim to our slasher heritage, and a connection to the sinister subversions of holiday traditions, but it also can become tedious to watch it each and every year. Even as it’s one of my very favorite films, I find myself burnt out on its pleasures, letting it rest every once and awhile to hibernate before a new grand unveiling. In the meantime, however, I cling to the Halloween sequels, and as you’ve seen throughout this series, many have carved their own meaning into my heart. What I’ve found in terms of nostalgia may be different for us all, but I can say definitively that without any nostalgia for Halloween…

  Review by Tony the Terror 🎃 ★★★★ 9

  I was talking with some friends about horror sequels and this one is on my now expired Starz subscription so I decided to give it a revisit. It’s a MESS, but it’s a fun mess and it’s soooooo 90’s that I love it more than it probably deserves.

  This sixth entry in the series decides to dive deep into the occult mythology that the last movie inexplicably introduced. It honestly does nothing for the Michael Myers backstory as far as I’m concerned, but I suppose it’s to be expected by the time you hit the sixth film in a series. Aside from that pointless addition, this is in many ways just a great looking straightforward slasher and I appreciate that.…

  Autumn 1995 felt like the end of the world or at least the clear and obvious precursor to the end of the world. The future crackled and glared and whooshed into flame before us scorching auroras in the upper atmosphere, signs and portents, oceans of blood, skies darkened and seared, in places rent, ragged edges seething.

  If you were an adolescent in the 1990's you wore the mark of the beast: dangerous, violent, parasitic, idle, worthless, a threat under the family roof, closely monitored for signs of potential demonic possession. All of us could be The Shape, could awake suddenly in the middle of the night seized with unholy fervor, backmasked heavy metal lyrics deployed engram upon engram, the sleeper…

  🎃 It's October! 🎃

  This isn't a movie you watch for logical consistency. You may ask, why did he even have a baby? Or, how could all the Strodes, besides John, not know they were living in the Myers house?

  Like a lot of other horror movies, people don't always make the best decisions. Like, why did Jamie call a radio station instead of the police?

  But that stuff doesn't even matter!

  I watch this because it has one of the most authentic Autumn feelings in the entire franchise. I watch this because the score on the Producers Cut is actually pretty damn good (on that version specifically, don't like the guitars theatrical), they seriously do amazing with the score…

  Review by Christmas Di Leo 🎄 ★★★ 6

  Even though it's highly regarded as one of the worst entries in the series, the trash heap that is Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers had me thoroughly entertained all throughout it's runtime. It's brutal, weird, has a moody fall setting and it's INCREDIBLY goofy. This one reminded me a lot of Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood because both films just throw in a supernatural story element that's so way out of left field that you're puzzled and confused as to why this is the route they would go? There's also nothing more satisfying than seeing cinema's biggest dickhead John Strode's head puss and explode like one of Gallagher's watermelons.

  P.s.: is this the cheapest/ugliest/worst-looking mask in the series? I'd like to think so.
