The new Halloween movie looks great. Most of the older sequels are pretty terrible, so I'm ok with erasing them from canon. Although I did enjoy 2, 4, and H2O. Part 4 is actually my 2nd favorite film in the franchise and features one of the all-time great child performances from Danielle Harris.
The Rob Zombie remake was decent, but I honestly didn't need a full back story for Michael. Carpenter's original concept was much more frightening, when we knew very little about him other than the fact that he killed his sister, and that he was completely nuts.
