Forty years. Thirteen films. One masked killer who just won’t die.
Today, we’re zeroing in on the final chapter of the Halloween saga — the last seven films that tried to reimagine, reboot, and finally end the story of Michael Myers. From the sleek nostalgia of H20, to the gritty chaos of Rob Zombie’s vision, and the recent Blumhouse trilogy that brought Laurie Strode back for one last showdown. We’re slicing through what worked, what didn’t, and why the Shape still casts such a long shadow over modern horror.
So grab your pumpkin spice, lock your doors, and cue the Carpenter score, because we’re diving deep into the evolution, the chaos, and the legacy of Halloween’s final seven acts.
