“Michael made his debut in John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic, Halloween, possibly the best scare movie to come along in the last twenty-five years. With the release of the sixth (and hopefully final) movie to bear the Halloween moniker, we see how far the mighty have fallen. In the final analysis, The Curse of Michael Myers is a horrific motion picture just not in the way the film makers intended.” WayYearsMadeLastsFilmFiveBearsHorrorTwentiesFinalsReleaseHopefullyAnalysisCurseFallenClassicFive YearsMakersScareHalloweenTwenty FiveHorrificCarpenterMotion PicturesDebutMichael Myers Author:James Berardinelli
