10 Bad Horror Movies (With ONE Great Scene)

10. Jamie Hides In The Laundry Chute - Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers

There are few horror franchises which maintain anything close to quality control by their fifth entry, but even so, Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers is a legendary stinker.

Ultimately one of the duller and more forgettable Halloween sequels, it kicks off with an insulting retcon of the previous film's promising ending - which suggested that young Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris) might take up Michael Myers' mantle - and ends with Myers escaping to fight another day yet again.

But there's a single sequence that nearly makes the film's existence worthwhile, and that's the deliciously tense set-piece where Jamie hides in a laundry chute while being stalked by Michael.

Between the minimal use of music and claustrophobic camerawork, it's proof that simplicity is often the smartest approach, as is further elevated by Danielle Harris' terrific performance as Jamie.

This is the single scene in the film that actually feels like John Carpenter himself could've directed it, and it was even more intense in the original cut before the MPAA forced director Dominique Othenin-Girard to cut a beat where Jamie gets stabbed in the leg.
