They resembled crap, from the thin plots to Michael's wonky mask. I'll argue all day long that Zombie's remakes are better than everything after 2. When Curtis refused to return, the films came across as desperate and contrived. The Thorn plot really killed any legitimacy the franchise had and when they got rid of it, the backpedalling was poor. Even Curtis' eventual return in H2O didn't make them any better.
. Out of the big three Myers has the worst sequels unfortunately. The best being Jason and Freddy after him. But it's a pretty big gap. But even in the bad Freddy movies I can at leasty get a chuckle here and there. Not the case with Myers. The original is in my top 5 favorite horror movies.

Good post. Although I erally don't like 2 and I actually like 3. The only reason I ever hewar people say they don't like 2 is because iot didn't have Myers. Not because it sucked or what ever. I felt the same way when IO first saw it but once I opened my mind to it and just watched it as a halloween based movie I dug it. I mean I think it took some balls to do a sequel without Myers nit to mention they were knocking off kids which is something you do not see a lot.I think the original idea of going with an anthology of different halloween tales is better than what we got. I hated the way Myers looked in 4. He was so goofy looking it was almost unwatchable. Those big shoulder pads, the ****ty mask and his overall performance was atrocious. The mask was soooo bad.
As for Zombie's H2, I hated it the first time I saw it in theatres, but after watching it a few times, I've come to understand it and appreciate it more. I'll take the White Horse explanation any day over Thorn. 
I don't consider Season of the Witch a "Halloween" movie. I got over the initial WTF watching it the first time and was able to look at it as it's own creepy vintage classic which just so happened to share the same name as a Shat-faced psycho killer. It's really a shame though that such a decent horror flick would be forever tarnished because Carpenter and other studio execs didn't realize what they had on their hands regarding both properties.
Yup, Resurrection made the H2O ending literally laughable. Suddenly, and completely out of character, the "unstoppable force" that is Michael puts his costume on an ERT and tapes his mouth? Yeah, not buying it.

Halloween 4 was a decent sequel and yes part 5 had moments...but better then the original? No way.
Yeah, I think you just lost any and all accountability with that one.
Because hardware stores usually sell Halloween masks all year round.
