Every Halloween Movie, Ranked

Here’s a ranking of every film in the Halloween franchise ranked from worst to best. The Halloween series turned 45 in 2023, an impressive feat considering creator John Carpenter never wanted a sequel. The original Halloween wasn’t the first slasher movie but it set a blueprint that would come to define the genre. With a slew of low-budget, increasingly gory slasher movies coming in its wake, including Friday The 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street, many of the archetypes in these movies could be traced back to 1978’s Halloween.
