Halloween - Watch Order: Blumhouse Timeline

1978 - 20224 Films6h 53m3.8 Average

This watch order features the modern Halloween reboot trilogy that serves as a direct sequel to Carpenter's original 1978 masterpiece, completely ignoring all other entries. This timeline treats Michael as a purely human killer driven by inexplicable evil rather than supernatural forces or family curses, returning to Carpenter's original minimalist approach.

With Jamie Lee Curtis returning as Laurie, this timeline provides a contemporary examination of trauma, legacy, and how violence ripples through generations and communities. The higher production values and modern filmmaking techniques offer a fresh take on the Halloween formula while respecting the original's themes.
