Every Halloween Movie Ranked Worst To Best

11. Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers

The sixth film in the series - but the first sequel to not feature a number in its title - 1995's Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers took the fumbled ball of Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers and fully finished the job.

Yes, The Curse of Michael Myers is the film which infamously brought the Cult of Thorn to the fore. With that, it was revealed that Michael was part of a curse which meant he had to kill his own bloodline, and thus the movie has him first kill off his niece Jamie Lloyd, before the Shape is on the hunt for Jamie's newborn baby boy.

Oh, and there's also insinuations that Michael is actually the father of Jamie's boy.

There's a couple of decent kills - the electrification of John Strode, for example - but other than that, this sixth movie is best known for starring a pre-fame Paul Rudd and for being the final Halloween movie for the legendary Donald Pleasance.
